Fred Thompson Is Not Supporting the Republican in New York?

Posted by on

I don’t know if you’ve been following the race in District 23 in New York, but many conservatives have lined up with a third-party candidate (Doug Hoffman) because the Republican nominee is just that unpalatable (Gingrich is still sticking behind her for unfathomable reasons, though). Fred Thompson explains from his radio show today:

You know as they say: “You can call yourself a Republican, but if you’ve lost the support of Fred Thompson, you are an unholy thing that will be destroyed by a rain of fire.”

By the way, I could use some feedback.

I know that some of the more “cluttered” pictures I use aren’t up long enough to be completely digested. They’re kind of a blur, and details get missed. Does this subtract from the experience, or is it just part of the “zippy stream-of-consciousness fun”?

As the creator, I’m too familiar with the images to have a true feel for how they hit a first-time viewer.

Is FOX News Biased?

Posted by on

The Obama administration has been attacking FOX News a lot lately. It’s easy to dismiss that as the Obama administration being a bunch of whiny little sissies, but do they have a point? I’ve been looking at some of the recent FOX News headlines — and these are from their supposedly objective news side — and they do seem to be pushing an agenda:

RECENT FOX NEWS HEADLINES

* “Obama’s Plans to Kill White People”

* “Can Being a Democrat Make Your Children Gay?”

* “Is Michelle Obama a Potential Suicide Bomber?”

* “Creepy Harry Reid Is Old, Senile, and Stupid; We Explain What that Means for His Senate Race in Nevada”

* “Obama: Is His Secretly Being a Muslim Influencing Him Towards Communism?”

* “Why Do Democrats Hate America? A Psychologist Gives Us Answers”

* “Barney Frank Is Gay, But Could Anyone of Any Sexual Orientation Find Him Attractive? We Ask Scientists”

* “What Does Obama Have to Gain from Betraying Us to Our Enemies: A Continuing Look at the White House’s Foreign Policy”

* “Historians Point Out More Similarities Between the Democrats and the Nazis”

* “Is Obama the Anti-Christ or Simply a Lesser Servant of Satan? We Have the Debate”

* “Everyone Hates Pelosi and She Should Die”

* “What Are Obama’s Plans for Your Grandma After He Kills Her? Part Four of Our Five Part Investigation”

Pretty bad, huh? Well, ha, I tricked you, liberals! These were all actual headlines from CNN, MSNBC, ABC, and CBS except they were about Bush and the Republicans!

No, you’re a liar!

This week, That One. Next week, terrorists. Submit for either at lolterizt@gmail.com

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.

NOTE TO READERS: Hovering your mouse over the picture activates closed captioning for the l33t-speak/txtmsg impaired.

This week’s uncaptioned picture for you to play with:

That’s Terrence Scott, the “Why people hate you?” kid.

PRODUCTION NOTES:
#1: When creating lolbama! 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.

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.

Stuff White People Like: Living Around White People

Posted by on

Apparently a number of the “progressive” havens like Austin and Portland are basically full of white people. Which isn’t to say that white liberals are racist, it’s just that they hate minorities and don’t want to live around them. Instead, as liberals, they want to pass laws to tell minorities what to do from afar.

I think this explains Barack Obama somewhat. He was probably about to move into a white, liberal neighborhood in Illinois so they were scrambling to find some way to get rid of him and settled on electing him president.

Random Thoughts

When FOX News invented media bias, they should have patented it.

You know, a lot of the problems we’re focused on now will be rendered meaningless as soon as we become beings of pure energy.

If Corzine is making fun of Christie’s weight, maybe he could play it up himself for laughs. Like during a debate shouting, “Me want food!”
