Obama was high and way to the left.

Oh, I wasn’t talking about his first pitch (although it’s applicable there). I was talking about him every day of his political career.
Just thought I’d clear that up.

Let’s just call this a preview of Obama’s 2012 campaign platform.
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.
The guy who did the epic 70 minute review/take down of the Phantom Menace now has a 90 minute review of Attack of the Clones (which I just watch recently again with the RiffTrax). I haven’t watched it yet, but I’ll issue a CONTENT WARNING based on his previous work. I’ll post the first part is here and you can find the rest here.
I just hope he can explain the plot, because I didn’t understand at all what exactly the bad guys were trying to accomplish in this movie. They just seemed to be constantly running into themselves. Shouldn’t it have tipped people off that Jango Fett was both the basis for the clones and fighting for the complete other side?
A study said that 52% of bloggers consider themselves journalists. Never really been sure if I’m technically a journalist, though. I never really journal anything and I mostly just make stuff up, but I look at a lot of the professionals out there on TV and in newspapers and I don’t seem that bad in comparison.
Of course, if I do consider myself a journalist, then I have to start worrying about journalistic integrity. That means instead of just saying, “Obama got a bucket stuck on his head,” I have to say, “Unnamed sources say Obama got a bucket stuck on his head.” And I’ll also have to have some section on IMAO I can bury corrections like, “We incorrectly stated that while Obama had the bucket on his head, he ran repeatedly into walls screaming, ‘Me want cake!’ That was Joe Biden. IMAO regrets the error.” I don’t know if I could do that; I never regret errors.
The iPad seems pretty cool. It’s sleek and responsive and intuitive to use. Part of this comes from there not being as much freedom one can do with this device as there is with a PC. The user is kept away from it’s low level function and Apple controls every single app allowed to go in it. Without that, it would quickly get as clunky as anything Microsoft releases.
In a way, the iPad is the model for what liberals hope America will be like if they can just get more and more of it under complete government control. We’ll have this sleek, responsive government that provides us with health care and all other necessities in an efficient, intuitive way. All we need to do is give up a few freedoms that most users citizens weren’t even using. Just think of businesses like apps, and every business has to be approved by the government to make sure it fits with their plan for the country. And making your own decisions about health care is like letting Flash run on the iPad — not allowed because it could mess things up.
Of course, we’re not talking about a $500 consumer electronic device, and people are a lot harder to keep organized as they are more unpredictable that apps for watching movies and playing poker, so the whole idea is doomed to fail in a spectacular fashion (see the Soviet Union). Still, it’s useful to understand what liberals are trying to do. Just hope the next thing Steve Jobs releases to great fanfare isn’t the iConstitution.
What does happen when we get too much debt? Does China come over to break our thumbs?
Curling just felt natural. It’s like we evolved specifically to slide rocks down sheets of ice.
Good question for Gibbs at the next press conference: “But what does this all have to do with the iPad?”
Secession is wrong, but maybe we should be able to kick states out of the union.
Man, I could just imagine the illegal immigration problem we’d have here in Idaho if we kicked California out of the union.
Nah, I guess we couldn’t kick states out; we’d feel all guilty and stuff. We’d first need a drug that removes guilt.
2010: no flying cars or Mars missions, but the iPad seems more in line with what I was expecting.
If Democrats are right about the public not caring about process, we could try repealing Obamacare through military coup.
Other way to repeal a bill: Break into National Archives and steal it. Who’s up for a heist caper? I’ll be the tech guy.
Environmentalists are hypocrites. Saw a guy complain about global warming and then later garrote polar bears for laughs.
Wait, that was me.
The Guiliani endorsement of Rubio would seem to be the final nail in Crists’s coffin… if we could reach the coffin under all that dirt.
Stupid anti-science conservatives all saying, “Guam isn’t going to capsize; it feels so stable.” That isn’t how science works!
Capsize is a weird word, especially since caps are usually one size fits all.
Maybe the word “capsize” comes from a captain letting his boat tip over because he was too busy getting his hat to fit just right.
This year I’ll let the kids have an Easter Egg hunt in my DVD library.
I hope Kal Penn returns to House to play zombie Kutner.
I’m almost sure I recognize Rep. Phil Hare from numerous cartoons.
Just to show I’m not closed minded, I will fully support Obama’s health care plan if he buys me an iPad. 64 GB model.
For the record, I also won’t give urological exams to Obama voters.
52% of bloggers consider themselves journalists? Personally, I’m 75% sure I’m 15% journalist.
I just know that when I get an iPad, one of its many uses will be whapping the cats.
The word “onomatopoeia” comes from the sound someone makes when they say “Onomatopoeia.”
Can’t believe Nintendo hasn’t capitalized on the Obama presidency with a “Yes Wii Can!” game.
Anyone get an iPad? How pad-like is it? What does the ‘i’ stand for? Does it smell like apples?
Apple, if you send me an iPad, I’ll mention you on my blog. FOR FREE.
For Easter, I’m going to celebrate Jesus’s resurrection. I do that every Sunday, but this time I’m going to do it EXTRA HARD!
It really sounds like the iPad is going to revolutionize the way we do whatever is the iPad is supposed to be used for.
