IMAO Reader Theater: “UC Berkeley Students Talk About Tuition Protest”
Mitch presents: “UC Berkeley Students Talk About Tuition Protest”
[Reference link for the UCB protest]
[Supplemental link on Bill Gates’s college degree]
Take a hippie-punch at fame by creating your own IMAO-worthy video at Xtranormal (“If you can type, you can make movies“). Send a link to harvolson-at-gmail.com and I’ll give it a look. If it isn’t obscene (IMAO is a PG-13 site) and it doesn’t suck too terribly bad, I’ll post it and let the readers throw roses and/or tomatoes at you.
How to balance the federal budget without raising taxes
How can Congress possibly balance the federal budget without raising taxes?
It’s easy. Make Congress make up for any shortfall in the budget. Take it out of their pay. Cut Congressional pay (House and Senate) for every dollar the budget is in deficit.
What about the president? Well, if he vetoed the deficit budget, he’s off the hook. If he signed it, he’s liable. Dock his pay, too.
Now, what happens if the deficit is more than the pay of Congress? As is the current situation? Congress is on the hook for the balance. Personally. If Congressman A has twice wealth as Congressman B, he’s responsible for twice as much of the deficit.
When that still doesn’t cover the deficit, spread the debt around to other members of the government, exempting military pay only.
If Congress tries to get around it by raising taxes, count every tax increase as deficit money, and cut Congressional pay accordingly.
I learned a long time ago, that if someone had the solution to a problem, but had no interest in solving the problem, it was because it didn’t personally affect them; it wasn’t their problem.
Make it their problem.
Liberal Occupations
I think I noticed something about liberal jobs choices: Liberals tend to dominate jobs like actor, journalist, and college professors, and one thing about all those jobs is there isn’t a real objective way to measure whether you’re doing well or not. For a liberal, there is nothing more important than feeling you are smart, and thus it helps to have a job where you can feel smart and there is no objective measure to tell you otherwise. This is true of college professor especially, where a big part of it is just having everybody think you sound smart — especially in the useless “studies” type subjects.
I wish I could be like that in engineering. I’d just babble on about all these neat engineering ideas but never actually make anything that works. I like babbling. I wonder if I was a liberal in another life…
Robots Punching Stuff
More Liberal Racism
The ACLU has morphed Obama into Bush. And since Bush is constantly compared to a chimpanzee, we know what the ACLU’s real message is.
When are we going to start asking the tough questions about why liberals hate black people? I guess it’s part of that smug superiority they have. They need racial sensitivity course and shock treatments. And someone to punch them in their dumb monkey faces and laugh at them.
Random Thoughts
Democrats seem set on ruining our fun in November by not even trying to be competitive.
We’re making fun of Reid now, but when he loses his job we will treat that as very good news.
I have no idea who Justin Bieber is, but I’m pretty sure if I did I’d hate him.
The Predator aliens are hard to permanently injure or kill because of their universal health care.
NBC Thursday night comedies are all made of win, but I think my favorite right now is Community.
New conspiracy theory: All these recent violent attacks from registered Democrats are tests for Obama’s new secret police!
Paul Krugman has to be one of the most hackish political pundits out there.
Ebert is really smart about movies, but his IQ drops about 50 points when politics comes up. I’ve never seen any political wisdom from Ebert that didn’t just look like something he just read off of Kos.
Why does David Brooks exist? What is his purpose?
I hate science. No, wait, I like science. I hate blue pens.
You think the head of police in Vegas often goes in casinos saying, “I’m shocked, shocked to find that gambling going on in here!”?
I think Robin Williams does his best work when the director tells him, “Try to do anything funny, and I will beat you with a hammer!”
There should be some sort of law against a movie title like Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire.
Or maybe all titles should be like that. “Star Trek III: Based on the Novel Search for Spock by Sapphire”.
I like Hollywood’s new novel awareness policy.
I like how Hollywood thinks they’re better than us and is the last industry left that constantly racially discriminates in hiring. Plus, lots of child labor.
Twilight is a horror movie? Only thing it made me scared for was our nation’s youth.
Aw, man, I thought it was going to be a tribute to “whore” movies. Where’s my Pretty Woman?
I got a headache from just reading about the move Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.
Hopefully people will learn to next time wipe out the Na’vi much more quietly.
I don’t like James Cameron, but he’s getting us closer to replacing all the pretentious actors with computer images.
Movie pitch: Sniper kills seemingly random Hollywood stars so that the tribute during the Oscars has an encoded message.
The Oscars would be more exciting if the losing movies for best picture were burned and never shown again.
Hollywood should get over Vietnam. We won that war fair and square.
My Marine brother said the Hurt Locker was like they followed him around Iraq with a camera and then threw all that footage out and made another movie.
I wonder if people would have been for getting into WWII if they knew we’d still stuck in Germany and Japan in 2010?
I don’t know anything about movie editing other than it wasn’t enough to save the mess at the end of the Phantom Menace.
My Oscar speech: “I don’t need you to tell me I’m awesome.” Then I drop it on the stage and walk off. While I’m imagining my Oscar speech, I might as well add I’ll be riding a unicorn.
Can’t Science! create a roll of toilet paper that can be pulled both ways?
Note to cliché users: We currently CAN’T go to the moon, so neither can we necessarily handle the smaller problem you’re thinking of.
There should be a penalty for too much smugness where you get deducted one Oscar.
I like how Oscar nominations are abbreviated as “noms”. nom nom nom
Jeff Bridges did the Big Lebowski in 1998 and apparently still hasn’t broken character.
Finally. Sandra Bullock was robbed for Demolition Man.
Kathryn Bigelow, female… I don’t know where I’m going with that.
Great for Bigelow. There’s an obscure martial art that involves wielding two Oscars.
Bigelow should have pointed at Cameron and shouted, “World’s mine now, bitch!”
“The Amazing Race” kinda sounds like the name of a Nazi propaganda film.
If James Cameron had been a better husband, those Oscars would have been his by marriage.
Next Oscar milestone is for a homeless director to win.
It’s Hollywood’s racist hiring policies that keep Samuel L. Jackson from the role he was born to play: Benjamin @#$%ing Franklin.
