Top Ten Historic Steps Obama Has Made to Improve Democracy

Obama, meeting with foreign leaders, told them our country is still working on democracy. I can only assume he then bowed to them. A top aide who was asked about the statement explained that Obama has made “historic steps” to improve democracy. What steps, you ask? Here’s what Obama has done:

TOP TEN HISTORIC STEPS OBAMA HAS MADE TO IMPROVE DEMOCRACY

10. A lollipop is handed out with every vote.

9. A camera was added every voting booth so if it looks like you’re having trouble with the ballot, someone can help you.

8. Confusing butterfly ballot replaced with mobius strip ballot.

7. Plans to add the American Idol’s “Judges’ Save” to other elections.

6. Ballot counting now done by the only group we can trust for complete accuracy: A non-partisan commission of unicorns.

5. To make ballots shorter and easier to understand, third parties are left off.

4. Leaving hanging chads is now punishable by death.

3. New Black Panthers standing at polls at threatening people with batons now must provide information on all candidates.

2. Sticker added to touchscreen voting saying, “DO NOT HACK.”

And the number one historic step Obama has made to improve democracy…

Random Thoughts

I think something that would improve democracy is if you got a lollipop for voting.

Considering Republican enthusiasm for this November and the huge deficit, maybe it’s a good time for Democrats to propose a poll tax.

If those morons in Congress don’t completely screw up health care, it will be a miracle rivaling that of the parting of the Red Sea.

Good news, everyone: I currently have no plans to murder any of you.

Rewarding losing

According to ABC’s Jake Tapper, a new name has appeared on the president’s short list of possible Supreme Court nominees: Leah Ward Sears.

Yes, the former Atlanta traffic court judge is on the short list.

Okay, sure, she also served as Superior Court judge, then state Supreme Court justice, and finally Chief Justice of Georgia.

But look at her career on the Supreme Court. Her major accomplishments include dissenting opinions on:

  • Club Southern Burlesque v. City of Carrollton (1995)
  • McIntyre v. State (1995)
  • Greene v. State (1996)
  • LaFontaine v. State (1998)
  • Lumpkin v. Johnson (1998)
  • Gibson v. Turpin (1999)
  • Wilson v. State(1999)
  • Howard v. State (2000)
  • Hill v. Head (2003)
  • O’Kelley v. Cox (2004)
  • Johnstone v. Thompson (2006)
  • Morrison v. State (2006)
  • Reaves v. State (2008)
  • State v. Davis (2008)

Keep in mind that “dissenting” means that she differed with the court. She was on the losing side.

What does this mean? Her legal rulings are wrong. Her judgment is poor.

But that’s right up the alley for Obama and his socialist supporters.

Being legally correct isn’t important in a Supreme Court justice. Blindly following a bad political philosophy is what they seek.

With that crew, being a loser isn’t a bad thing. It’s a thing to be honored.

Imagine if this same logic applied to the NFL. Who would have been in the most recent Super Bowl? St. Louis (1-15) vs Kansas City (4-12).

Who would have been in the World Series? Washington (55-103) vs Baltimore (60-98).

Loser gets rewarded. That’s the liberal way.

Shoes Are Not Protests

Muslims in the UK are now allowed to throw shoes as part of protesting. As a supplication to Muslim sensibilities, it’s now not considered violent and instead a “ritual form of protest.” I thought Europe liked to consider itself civilized, but it’s kind of hard to have that when you tolerate certain segments of your population behaving like irate toddlers. If an American moved to UK, would he be allowed to shoot a shoe-thrower in the face, because culturally that’s what we do?

If a society can’t every once in a while tell some dimwits, “Your culture is stupid; stop it now,” then it might as well just roll over and die. Why should we care what culture people have in backwards, violent countries? Civilized people don’t throw shoes. Hell, grown up people don’t throw shoes. I’m not even sure monkeys would throw shoes. I would hope in America we would fire people out of a cannon into the sea before saying shoe-throwing is perfectly cromulent.

Current Republican Field for 2012

The Southern Republican Leadership Conference (yeah, I don’t really know what that is, but apparently it’s a big deal) had its Straw Poll, and the big winner:

Mitt Romney!

Yeah, the author of the disaster Massachusetts health care that Obamacare is an imitation of. Plus, I wonder if Barack Obama will have turned people off of having presidents with weird names like “Mitt.”

One vote behind Romney:

Ron Paul!

He was basically putting money to get people to attend the SRLC (tickets cost $150, but he was selling them for $30) in another lame attempt to finally trick us into thinking he has popular support and isn’t just supported by a bunch of cranks.

So things aren’t really looking great for Republicans in 2012 just yet. We really need someone to emerge who doesn’t… well… suck. So if you know anyone you think would be a good president, make sure to tell the Republicans about him/her.

How Can the Democrats Be Popular Again?

Poll after poll keep showing the Democrats at record low approval. And the Democrats are confused. “We keep kneeing people in the groin, but everyone still doesn’t like us. Maybe we should try urinating on them.” Alan Grayson has even started to go around yelling at people personally (hey, Democrats, come get your Congressman; he’s gotten loose again), but that still hasn’t helped. So here are my ideas to make the Democrats more popular:

FRANK IDEAS TO MAKE DEMOCRATS POPULAR

1. Seppuku
2. Vow of silence
3. Self-immolation
4. Voluntary exile
5. Holding badgers near their face and shaking them
6. Bleach drinking contest
7. Imprisonment
9. Playing in traffic
9. Locking themselves in a building like in Big Brother but don’t film it
10. Choreographed dance number

So, just a few ideas, but the Democrats better getting working on them if they don’t want to get slaughtered in November.

The Supreme Court Nominee

Obama is going to have to appoint a new member of the Supreme Court, and now we need to decide how big a deal we’ll want to make out of it. In all likelihood, Obama is going to pick someone we wouldn’t even want as an American citizen if we had a choice, but since he or she is replacing Stevens it won’t change the make up of the court. It’s pretty much standard now we have four Justices who are like, “The Constitution is an actual thing? I thought it was an intangible concept like happiness.”

I say we make a big deal for these reasons:

1. Politically news has been slow lately, so we have nothing better to do.
2. It should be a big deal when the Constitution is ignored, even if it happens a lot.

So how should we make a big deal?

I know: Civil war. Let’s get so angry about Obama’s pick that we like split up the Union and attack the other side. But we won’t make the same mistakes as the Confederacy as we’ll force the other side to leave the Union so they’ll be in the wrong and we’ll be justified attacking them. Also, we’ll not have slaves.

Again, probably not amount to anything in the end and Obama will get his nominee who will mistake the Constitution for vintage toilet paper, but it could be fun.

One two three four… I declare a dance war! (it should be noted that the dance war declaration did not get formal congressional approval)

Woohoo! New Supreme Court nominee battle! As the Swedish chef would say: Bork Bork Bork

I’ll say it again: Robo-SCOTUS! “Does not compute with Constitution.”

It excuses all sorts of rude behavior if you believe everyone against you is a nazi.

There will be no hate, no violence and we’ll all be together as one when we’re all collapsed into a singularity.

Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me four beers.

With all these baby expenses coming up, I really should have had a fundraiser on IMAO so I could afford an iPad.

I want one of the first things baby sees to be the iPad so he knows it’s the future and not like ’80s or something.

When I was born, Carter was president, so me and my child will have something similar to bond over.

Obama’s current short list for SCOTUS: Michael Moore, William Ayers, Hugo Chavez

If speed walking is an Olympic sport, why don’t they have slow running?

Favorite kind of Paul: Saint. Least favorite kind: Ron.

When cultures no longer have the courage to stand up for themselves, they die.

The taco supreme gets its name from having the favorite toppings of members of the Supreme Court.

We’re Trapped in a Black Hole

Could our universe be stuck in the black hole of an even larger universe? Sounds wacky, but who knows. The whole universe — quantum physics, dark matter, Democrats — doesn’t make much sense, so Occam’s Razor doesn’t really lead to any simple explanation of all things.

So, what do suppose would be in the larger universe beyond the black hole we’re stuck in? We can approximate the mass of the observable universe and perhaps then get the mass of the black hole we’re in. We can then use the size of that black hole and what we know of this universe as a baseline to calculate what the other universe must be like. And if I got the math correct…

IT’S FILLED WITH GIANT SPACE GORILLAS!!!

Those are like regular gorillas. But much larger. And in space.

Frankly, we’re much safer here in our nice little black hole.

My Contract with America

With Republicans looks for big gains this November, many are thinking they need a new “Contract with America” to organize behind. To help out, here’s my proposal for some things that contract could cover.

FRANK J.’S CONTRACT WITH AMERICA

* Anyone who whines about rich people will be set on fire and thrown off a medium-sized building.

* The right to bacon will be put into the Constitution.

* Hippies will be hunted like vermin.

* We will protect the country the only way possible: Dinosaurs with rocket launchers and space lasers.

* New taxes must first be proposed to an angry wolverine named “Ripper” to get his opinion.

* Pants on the ground will be punishable by death.

* New policy: Useless, dimwitted lawyers, instead of being put in charge as politicians, will instead be shot into space to study the effects of space on people we don’t like or need.

* It will be our promise to find out exactly how large and how violent a robot can be.

* Anyone who proposes nanny state laws like banning salt will be stripped of his citizenship and deported to whatever country we currently like the least.

* Before we were worry about obese children, we’ll first handle obese government.

* We’ll return America to its core values: Killing Communists.

Another One Bites the Dust

Are there going to be any Democrats left in November? Just announced: Bart Stupak is retiring.

Of course, the Tea Party was really looking to get his scalp after his last minute betrayal on the health care bill, so there goes that fun. The Democrats really hate the Tea Party, and it’s pretty easy to see why. Polls of the group keep showing their demographics are the same as Democrats’ least favorite group of all: Americans. Plus, it’s looking like Democrats probably won’t do well in an election in America when Americans really really hate them. Either they’ll have to get non-Americans in here to vote or maybe move to another country and run for office there — which I think is the best solution for everyone.

Anyone, we at IMAO wish Stupak well and hope he enjoys his retirement. What’s the value of thirty pieces of silver without time to spend it?

Random Thoughts

American Idol ratings are down, so they’re going to do something no one has done before: Put President Obama on TV.

For the record, I’ll totally watch if they make Obama sing.

We call ourselves “conservatives”, but we actually want a government that’s never actually existed in this world.

One day we’ll have that perfect, Heinlein-esque libertarian government. And I expect that state of perfection to have a half-life of 10 minutes.

When Obama is on American Idol, I hope he speaks out against the epidemic of pants being on the ground.

Pride in the Confederacy? Didn’t they get beat by a bunch of Yankee dandies?

Know who is behind Net Neutrality? The powerful fisherman lobby.

The Democrats aren’t going to destroy anyone’s freedoms: they’ll all be free to view at the Smithsonian.

When Do We Get Our Free Health Care?

Apparently, people are calling up health insurance companies wondering when they get their free health care, because, you know, the supporters of Obamacare are smart people.

Anyway, here is the free health care plan info that I got directly from the White House website:

The health care plan does not come fully in effect until 2014.  In 2014, you will get your free health care plan delivered by a unicorn — which is yours to keep FREE just as Obama promised.  When you stroke the unicorn’s horn, it should crap rainbows.  If it doesn’t crap rainbows, we will have a hotline setup for unicorn troubleshooting.  Also, if you are not satisfied with your free health care, we have another number you can call and we’ll send someone to your house to explain to you why you should be satisfied and maybe shake you and yell at you a bit.

So make sure to spread that info around to avoid any further confusion.
