I always thought the MSM was just a bunch of useless left-wing nitwits who would often try to be balanced but had such a fringe view on things and surrounded themselves with other fringe lefties so that they didn’t no idea how fringe they were that they often spectacularly failed at balance.

That was too kind a view.

The Daily Caller has posted some excerpts from the Journolist of left-wingers plotting together to try and down newsworthy stories because they hurt their candidate Barack Obama. Basically, they wanted to crush any stories about Jeremiah Wright and smear anybody who brought them up as racists. I guess I should be threatened by this conspiracy, but I find it reassuring because, wow, what a group of excitable dimwits. These people are trying to organize a political movement and they don’t sound like the mental capacity to organize their clothes each morning. Like who is this little chihuahua Spencer Ackerman?

“We have to stop teh righties because they is to torture people and make wars and collaborate with teh rogue unicorns!!!”

Why I find this all so reassuring is that it proves what a freak occurrence Obama’s brief popularity was. These people obviously have no idea how the average American thinks and their scheming is so infantile that they mostly only are able to move the news further against them. Obama was a blank slate and during that time a beleaguered public pretended him to be great — but this was basically despite the left-wing idiots in the news. The left-wing media working together at full force is repugnant to most people as they’re too dimwitted to actually move the news the way they want because to do that they’d have to understand why people hold other views than theirs which is a bridge too far (“Dey is conservative because dey is racist!!!”). There is nothing more harmful to left-wingers than them conspiring together; the further they surround themselves with other fringe lefties the further they isolate themselves from the views of the public at large. And now look how irrelevant they’ve become.

So Andrew Breitbart put up a video yesterday showing some person in the NAACP bragging how she wouldn’t help some poor farmer because he was a honkey (she’s now resigned), but that’s not important. I want you to look at the first image in the post where Breitbart premiered the video. Then I want you to look at the image in this old IMAO post.

Breitbart stole my race card!

That’s mine! I drew it! Yes, I forgot to watermark it with the IMAO logo, but that’s because I’m lazy. Plus, I usually figure the crappiness of my drawings is a natural defense against them being stolen. But not for a schemer like Breitbart (or should I say “Theifbart”) who’s always trying to bring down poor innocent liberals who just don’t like honkeys or only want to help down and out pimps get houses. He doesn’t care who he hurts or whose blog he steals art from.

Well, the liberals are always trying to bring him down, but they can’t because they’re stupid hippies. But now Theifbart has a real enemy. Remember that guy, Glenn Reynolds or something, who I exposed his habits of making smoothies by putting puppies in a blender? I’m going to bring Theifbart down just like that. Plus I’m going to sue for damages of stealing my art: $0.10 financial and $80,000,000 emotional.

And no one better point out I sometimes steal images from the internet uncredited! Of all the crisy I hate having pointed out about me, it’s the hypo kind I hate the most.

I just better not see Theifbart post a stick figure drawing where the hat means Breitbart. THE HAT MEANS FRANK J.!!!

If I may be serious for a moment, I have a religious question. Now considering Islam came more than six hundred years after Christianity, what new moral teachings does it add? I know it adds news stuff you’re supposed to do which is reminiscent of Jewish law, but does it actually teach anything new or different about faith? For instance, Christianity had a number of big changes from Judaism such as making it a religion for all people, new teaching on salvation and eternal life, and a greater importance on faith versus acts (specifically the strict Jewish law). With Islam, I know the tenets which seems like a number of new things on top of Jewish law plus some borrowing of Christian concepts of universalism and the afterlife, but I don’t know of anything new or unique it teaching about religion or faith in general. So what significant new things does it teach us about religion and morality? Seems like a good question for any religion that claims to replace another.

Obama is doing so awful as president that it’s pretty likely that the Republicans will reclaim the House and they might even take the Senate. So what should the Republicans do if that happens considering Obama will still be president? Here is my advice as a smart blogger guy on the internets.

* Party. If Republicans take back Congress, they should throw an awesome party to celebrate. This will help get people excited and let them know things are about to turn around. Plus, balloon animals!

* Don’t let Obama do anything. Obama doing stuff is what made the American people so angry, so it logically follows that keeping him from doing anything will make everyone happy. Obama will be like, “I want to socialize more stuff.” And Republicans should say, “No! Go play with this bucket.”

* Reduce the government. The government is too big, so make it smaller. Obama might not go along with this, though, so instead of using the legislative process, just sneak out in the middle of the night and steal some government and then bury it in the ground so no one can find it.

* Cut taxes. Again this will be hard without Obama’s support, but the Republicans can descend on the IRS with a bunch of switchblades and get a similar result.

* Repeal Obamacare. Once again, probably can’t do this the normally way without Obama’s vote, but if the Republicans get together and burn every physical copy and delete every soft copy of the Obamacare bill, that will effectively be a repeal since no one will know what the law was to follow it. It was thousands of pages no one read; it will be gone forever.

* Replace Obama with a robot who will do whatever Republicans say. This sounds hard, but it isn’t. First, build a robot that is identical to Obama. Then, declare robot twins to be illegal. Next, claim that the real Obama is really the robot twin so he gets carted off to robot prison where he’ll never be seen again as he’ll have to wear an iron mask which is the type of masks robots like to wear.

It’s SarahK’s birthday! Everyone wish her a happy birthday! Yes, this is the second SarahK birthday post on IMAO, but she deserves it because she’s having a birthday for two. She is very pregnant right now, so much so she has trouble sleeping. Yet, despite the difficulty, she does it a lot.

Here’s a drawing of what she looks like pregnant:

So what am I getting SarahK? Unfortunately, I spent the last of our money getting the dog and the baby matching hats. I think that will look very cool when Buttercup rides the dog like a horse, though I still need to save up and buy the dog saddle. Anyway, so all I’m getting SarahK is well-wishes; she’s married to me, so why would she need anything more? So everyone wish her a happy birthday, and if her birthday isn’t happy I’m blaming all of you. Next time you hear a knock at your door, that will be me with a bat.

UPDATE:

It’s also Basil’s birthday. Above, I drew what Basil would like if he were a girl and pregnant.

Here’s a great post on what makes believable TV versus unbelievable TV. I’m still in the first season of Babylon 5, so I’m waiting to see how that pans out.

In a hypothetical match up with Obama, Sarah Palin now ties. When Palin was running as VP, Democrats had all these doomsday predictions of what things would be like if Sarah Palin were president. The problem is, those scenarios now look optimistic compared to how things actually are.

Now, I’m not saying Palin is my candidate for 2012, I’m just noting that the arguments against her don’t really hold much water anymore. The worst they could say about her is, “She lacks experience! She could possibly be nearly as bad as Obama!” which wouldn’t be a great argument when running against Obama. Obama is at a whole new level of suck, and it’s pretty certain anyone would be better as it seems unlikely suck lighting would strike twice like that.

We really should think hard on 2012, though, because we could have a chance of electing absolutely anyone we want. Obama will continue to screw everything up and probably have a slogan in 2012 like, “Shut up, stupids! I is smart!” And it won’t even be a challenge.

Dang; too bad I won’t be old enough to run until the 2016 election.

Shelia Jackson-Lee on the two Vietnams:

Yeah, I have no idea what she thinks she is talking about. Also, a while ago she wondered why the Mars Pathfinder didn’t take pictures of the flag we planted there.

Now here is a point Republicans need to make early and often: By the Democrats’ vision of government, they want to put people like Shelia Jackson-Lee in charge of the economy and health care. I mean, have you ever seen a better advertisement to give our elected officials as little power as possible?
