The Most Powerful Senator

Who’s your favorite sitting Senator? Mine is Joe Lieberman, the most powerful Senator there is.

For all the Kos Kids screaming and biting each other and shaking their monkey cages, their greatest accomplishment so far was pushing Lieberman out of the Democratic Party and making him more powerful than ever before. Also, they changed his politics from “pro-war, but otherwise solid Democrat” to “I’ll pick whatever position makes those weird, bug-eyed Kos Kids screech the loudest”. Thus he’s the one holding up Obamacare, demanding no public option and no Medicare expansion and getting it. If he wanted a provision in the health care bill saying, “Joe Lieberman is King Awesome, and Harry Reid has a small penis,” it would go in there and be underlined. Even the White House has told Reid, “Give Lieberman all he asks for so that he might not turn against us with his terrible anger!”

If only people had listened to Karl Rove, who a couple years ago read from the ancient Book of Punditry:

“When the poo eaters try to strike down the one with the countenance of Droopy Dog, he shall grow in such power as to be able to stop the plans of the Large-Eared One.”

Rove then went on about prophecies about the “Huntress from the North”, though I still don’t know what those mean.

Anyway, all the Kos Kids can do now is stand on the sidelines, shake their tiny fists, and shout, “Jooooooo!”… until Lieberman looks their way. Then they scream and run away, burrowing into their dung hills for safety.

So, overall, I’d give the Kos Kids’ efforts to destroy Joe Lieberman a good, solid B+.

B+

I started a Twitter meme yesterday and Ace really got it going where we listed other things we would rate a good, solid B+ based on Obama’s grading scale.

BTW, for those who still think Twitter is gay, in what non-gay things do you start a discussion of politics and Firefly and Chuck‘s Adam Baldwin sometimes joins in? I think that means you’re gay.

Anyway, here’s what I came up with:

Tiger had rated his marriage so far a B+.

Charles Manson’s efforts on reforming… hmm… I’d say that’s a solid B+.

Landing of the Hindenburg is a good, solid B+. A- if it were on time.

Hitler’s relationship with the Jews: B+.

My avoiding Godwin’s Law: B+.

D’oh! Accidentally burnt down the house! Now my home owner’s insurance is going to rate me a B+.

As an apostle, I rate Judas a B+.

Somali pirates’ efforts at defending against Navy SEALs: B+

Rubber is rated a B+ on the electrical conductivity scale.

Current newspaper subscription levels: B+

The show Heroes since the first season: B+

“I don’t know how to tell you this… Let’s just say your body’s ability to fight cancer is a solid B+.”

My wife rated my sexual prowess a B+!

Rosie O’Donnell’s knowledge of materials engineering: B+

“I’m real sorry, Dad, but your car… well, its condition is now a B+.”

A nuclear bomb reduces everything within a few miles to B+ conditions.

Bumblebees: B+

Rabies cure for Old Yeller: B+

The faithful get eternal life in Heaven. Everyone else gets a B+.

“The terrorists say if we don’t soon meet their demands, the situation will become B+.”

New western coming out: “The Quick and the B+”

Darth Vader rated his relationship with his children a B+.

Need to let the dog out so she can do a B+.

* * * *

B+ — it’s the new FAIL. What do you rate a B+?

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

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.

Random Thoughts

Not having Obamacare pass the Senate is great. It both helps the country and marks Obama as a complete failure.

My office desk is aspiring to become a refrigerator and is practicing on my legs.

People say I’m hyper-partisan, but I have never killed a Democrat.

Is there anything important we need Obama to do that his animatronic in the Hall of Presidents can’t do? I’m not saying we should replace Obama with his animatronic, but it’s probably a better backup than Biden.

If you did a Venn diagram of wonks and geeks, it would be a circle.

When Obama takes on those fat cats, I hope he finally brings that Boss Tweed down to size.

Lieberman did warn Kos that if they struck him down, he would become more powerful than they could possibly imagine.
