Zombie at Pajamas Media looks at all the other type elemental footprints we have besides carbon. It’s hard to reduce your footprints, so I want mine to be as big as possible. Thousands of years from now, I want archeologists to say, “Wow. You can sure tell Frank was here.” That would make me feel good.

So is the Democrats taking over health care ever going to end? It’s like Jason; we think we kill it and it just keeps coming back. But guess what comes after health care?

Amnesty!

Basically, we have a gauntlet of crap legislation. It’s like they’re just trying to wear us down on outrage before the midterm election. Still, we just have to get to November, elect enough Republicans, and put a stake in the heart of all the silliness Obama is trying to do once and for all.

If we do get a Republican majority, what’s that going to be like with Obama as president? Here’s my recommendation:

OBAMA: I have this new idea–

REPUBLICANS: No.

OBAMA: You didn’t even hear it! It’s–

REPUBLICANS: No.

OBAMA: But I really think–

REPUBLICANS: No.

OBAMA: You’re just a party of “no”!

REPUBLICANS: Why do you say that?

OBAMA: You say no to everything I say.

REPUBLICANS: We say no to stupid things. You only say stupid things. So, yeah, I guess that follows.

OBAMA: Can you at least allocate federal funds to get me an iPad?

REPUBLICANS: No.

OBAMA: YOU’RE THE MEANEST CONGRESS EVER!!! WAAAAAH!!!

There’s a new movie, Green Zone, about how America made up the intelligence about WMDs in Iraq and tried to murder and what not to cover it up. And it stars Matt Damon! Sounds like a movie to avoid, and it has 51% at Rotten Tomatoes right now. Still, Roger Ebert gave it four stars and much of his review was dim-witted political spiel. I love this part, though:

Its message is that Iraq’s fabled “weapons of mass destruction” did not exist, and that neocons within the administration fabricated them, lied about them and were ready to kill to cover up their deception.

Is this true? I’m not here to say.

I like that. If you want to throw out insane conspiracy charges and then back away from them — but are tired of the phrase “I’m just asking questions” — then add “I’m not here to say” to the end of your crazy.

“Did Ebert actually murder Siskel out of jealousy? I’m not here to say.”

“Is Barack Obama a Muslim sleeper agent sent to destroy our economy? I’m not here to say.”

“Does Pelosi drink the blood of babies as an anti-aging scheme? I’m not here to say.”

So is Ebert now a Truther, or does that just apply to specific conspiracy theories about the Bush administration?
