Wrong Time for a Liberal
I think Obama is just really in over his head, as this was the completely wrong time for a liberal. You don’t put a liberal in charge during a time of war …or any serious time for that matter. No wonder Obama has only talked to General McCrystal once; Obama is hoping if he ignores the war, it will go away. Same for Iran and their nuclear capabilities. He just wants to focus on dinky social issues, where liberals are strongest. Look at the time when Bill Clinton did well: Economy was taking care of itself, and after the collapse of the Soviet Union, we were ignorant of any big international problem. It was a time of naivete: Perfect for a liberal. That’s not now; this is Carter all over again. Liberals don’t know how to do anything useful, so they flounder when useful things need to be done. They really need to wait until all the big things are handled by others before they take charge.
So, remember to pity Obama just a little. He probably actually believed his “Hope and Change” mantra and thought all the big problems would go away so he could focus on things we don’t actually need right now like a health care overhaul or Cap & Trade. Liberals felt pretty useless right after 9/11, and probably the only thing that will make them feel even more useless is putting them in charge.

Meanwhile, pass ’em around, spread the love, and if you make your own, don’t be shy about dropping a link to your pics in the comments. The more, the merrier.

This week’s uncaptioned picture for you to play with:
PRODUCTION NOTES:
#1: When creating lolterizt! pictures, please caption with either black or white text, as colors like red and yellow tend to blur badly when I compress the images.
#2: Standard image size for these posts is 350px wide by whatever high. If you can have your images 350px wide before you caption them, I won’t end up shrinking your captions into illegibility when I re-size the images.
MAKE YOUR OWN: The free lolbuilder from I Can Has Cheezburger.
STYLE NOTE: Short captions are usually better. Your goal is 10 words or less, with humor value tending to increase exponentially as the number of words approaches 1.
HAT TIP: Snapped Shot for handy links to ripe-for-captioning photos.
Send your submissions to lolterizt@gmail.com and – if they aren’t obscene (IMAO is a PG-13 site) and don’t suck too terribly bad – I’ll post them for you. Remember to include your name (and blog URL, if applicable) so I know who to thank.
Silly Liberals, Morality Is for Conservatives
So liberals don’t think drowning a woman is a big deal or worth mentioning if you share their politics, and drugging and raping a 13-year-old is okay if you make movies they like. So what exactly do they find a moral outrage again? Particularly annoying is how Hollywood is constantly trying to lecture the public on morality when apparently they failed morality 101. So when they go on about war or gay marriage, remember these are people who think murder and rape are light-gray areas.
This Polanski thing does remind of Ted Kennedy in that I’m wondering how we all just somehow ignored this for so long. I now feel dirty for having watched The Ninth Gate. It also wasn’t particularly good.
Random Thoughts
The economy should eventually improve, but we all might be enslaved by apes by the time it happens.
I will be on the View tomorrow at 11am ET. No, wait, that was just a nightmare.
What separates man from animal? Hats.
I hope before the White House staff gives Joe Biden toys they make sure none of them are a choking hazard.
So are the French for drugging and sodomizing 13-year-olds? If so, I hope the State Department issues some sort of travel warning.
What exactly is Obama supposed to talk to General McCrystal about? McCrystal doesn’t watch Grey’s Anatomy.
The more I read about Polanski’s crime, the more I move from “he’s suffered enough” towards “chuck him in the incinerator.”
Andy Williams and the Health Care Bear
Well, here’s Mr. Williams’ house. I hope I have better luck now than I did all those years ago.
And thank you for coming along, Mr. Hope. The boss says I need to have you with me.
I don’t think I’m the “hope” he was talking about.
I thank you for coming along anyway. Here goes.
Knock! Knock!
Why, if it isn’t Bob Hope and … You! What are you doing here! Oh, don’t tell me. You want a cookie. Well, you’re not going to get one! Not now…
Oh, no, Mr. Williams. I’m not begging for a cookie. The president hired me to ask you for your health care.
My health care? I’m 81 years old! Why would I give up my health care?
The president sent me to ask for it. He wants to take over everyone’s health care. Can the president have your health care, Mr. Williams? Please?
No! Absolutely not.
In fact, you get away from my door right now and don’t ever come back! Not you … not the president … no one is going to take my health care. Not now. Not ever! NEVER!
SLAM!
THUNK!
You know, if enough people do that, the president’s health care plan will need end-of-life counseling.
