Didn’t really have time to read the news yesterday and find stuff to blog about, so I’ll just scan it now and write down my thoughts:
* Romney does not like Obamacare. He will repeal it if he’s president. But he really likes his Romneycare which was exactly like Obamacare but only in Massachusetts. This makes me antsy about supporting Romney… probably because he’s Mormon.
* Osama bin Laden sent out a memo saying not to waste time trying to kill Vice President Biden because no one cares about him. My fear if I were Biden would be that if I did get assassinated, it would take like a week until anybody noticed… which would just be even more pathetic. So I’d bring coffee to the office everyday, because then people would notice right away because they’d be like, “Where’s that coffee we usually get?” Then they’d find out right away I’d been assassinated and be like, “Now who will get us coffee? Bin Laden is a jerk.”
* The U.S is interviewing three of bin Laden’s wives, and they’re reportedly “hostile” to us. Why? What did we do?
* If you want a Navy SEAL action figure of Obama, here it is. I guess an action figure for what he actually did would be a little boring. Basically, you’d ask the figure, “Do you want to get bin Laden?” Then you’d pull the string, and hours later the figure would answer, “Yeah, I guess.” And if I get a President Obama action figure, I want it to have a removable bucket for his head (CAUTION: Bucket is hard to remove).
* Something like 80% of people approved of Obama taking out Osama (which seems kind of low, actually), but Ron Paul has decided to go after that other 20% since… you know… he’s a serious presidential candidate. He said he would not have approved that raid… I guess because it wasn’t backed by gold. RON PAUL!
* Hey, they should do a Ron Paul action figure! You ask it, “Do you want to get bin Laden?” Then you pull the string and it says, “Talking action figures are not in the Constitution!”
* Here’s Pomplamoose covering the Angry Birds theme:
I guess I’m out of things to talk about.
Is Pomplamoose that scary band that covered “Jingle Bells” for that commercial over the Christmas holidays? That woman’s voice makes me want to run screaming from whatever source is playing her music.
“Osama bin Laden sent out a memo saying not to waste time trying to kill Vice President Biden because no one cares about him. ”
biden reminds me of James Sherman.
Ron Paul: Oh I thought you said obama!
Frank, you forgot a key detail about the Obama Action Figure (TM). He doesn’t just give an answer after hours, he also comes with a great “concerned face”!
Ron Paul would not have approved the raid because Iran is such a small country and is not a threat to us.
I think the Obama action figure also comes with a copy of the constitution. There are instructions in the box that every time the action figure takes a dump, the user is to use this to wipe his ass with…
Nine words we’ll never hear coming from Obama’s mouth…
I’ve been waiting in almost breathless anticipation for the RON PAUL — RON PAUL!1!1!1!1 — fun to start. Go with it.
Ron Paul did not approve of Reagan’s panty raid while visiting Thatcher because having fun is not in the Constitution!
Basically, you’d ask the figure, “Do you want to get bin Laden?” Then you’d pull the string, and he’d say “I need to sleep on it.” Then he falls asleep for 16 hours and runs out of batteries. Then you chuck Obama in the trash.
Jimmy, talking about the Obama Admin. reminds me: do you have the ussjimmycarter action figure? I do! You ask him about Hillary’s beauty, pull the string, and he claps his hands and smiles like a fiend!
Should Biden be relieved or worried that “Kill” is off the table when jihadis play the F.M.K. game?
The Obama action figure hides under the desk for 16 hours. Makes the Leon Panetta action figure make the call, and then takes the credit until the batteries run out.
That is NOT the Obama action figure. The Obama action figure is a rectangular screen with words on a stand.
That Pomplamoose girl has teh cazy eyes. Is she related to Biden?
Yes, Marko, I have tried that one before. Classic.
Here’s one for you. Just say “HELEN THOMAS.”
You know what? HE BULGES!!!
One part that is interesting is how little noise over Romneycare there was in 08 vs how much there is now in post Obamacare world. In 08 we all seemed fine with a stupid state doing stupid things or maybe a bunch of people are hypocrites? But, now that its affecting all of us directly and he doesn’t seem to concerned about something that breaks a core conservative principle. I do fine some just cause for concern about that.
I could go on but none of you want to hear my view on federalism anymore, I don’t get why though. The left are authoritarian collectivists busybody “doogooders” who are going to run their little quasi fascist fiefdoms. The only question is if that does or does not include the rest of us.
Wait… who’s Joe Biden?
Make fun of the guy trying to expose the fed? Smart plan for a conservative. Hows commodity prices (gas-food-etc.) and government debt working out for you lately? Clearly it is less of an issue then Ron Paul talking about Gold or trying to reign in the fed.
Of course we want to hear your views on feudalism, Shiggz. That’s what we have in the Soviet State of Washington.
Wait. Federalism? Gee, I don’t know… sounds kind of old-fashioned. Maybe even archaic. Antiquated. Let’s ask Fred Thompson.
Angry Birds just jumped the shark.
wait… not shark…
Angry Birds just jumped the hipster.
@Jimmy, lol indeed. Another few years of left consolidating executive power and the right going along with it and you wont even have the option to move out of state because Federal encroach makes it the same everywhere. That’s a big reason why I don’t want to vote for Romney he truly doesn’t get that.
-side note- I grew up in the Midwest where you have conservative democrats and conservative republicans and both groups despise their party almost as much as they despise the other. When I got older and lived other places especially Seattle my eyes were opened to the faddish unreasonable nature of leftist rule and the dem party/mob in general. A good example of their ridiculousness that really turned me against leftists…
Ice storm in Seattle, my understanding is that Seattle hippies banned using salt or chemicals on the road. Note if you have followed Obamas reign then analogously (sp?) are already living through this video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XLtYHqon1w
Easy Jimmy, you don’t ask Fred Thompson, Fred Thompson tells you when he is good and ready!
Shiggz, no one dsaid anything about romneycare because it was a commie move in a commie state. You see, the 10th amendment applies to communists states that wish to implement communism, but not to American states that wish to have freedom.
The differences between romney and Sasquatch’s husband are that romney’s ears are not that big, and soros bought an R for the telprompter.
So I have the Marco action figure. You pull the string, and mention Rosie and he does Jiz in my pants…
I have the Jimmy action figure also. You pull the string, and mention Barney Frank and he drops trou. and bends over…
Me thinks Fred’s been having too much of that fine Tennessee whiskey.
One is able to tell it is after lunch. Grammar and spelling become unnecessary when speaking about Fred Thompson.
Maybe if I sacrifice a goat, he will forgive me.
I was not enamored with Fred in 08. He would seem like a huge breath of Fresh air right now though. An Alpha male whose wife didn’t cheat on him, can hold his own in an argument, doesn’t put his foot in his mouth constantly. Damn that would be huge right now. I think he would have lost to Obama in 08 but think he could win in 12.
I do agree that Tennessee whiskey is better than Kentucky bourbon, Marko. Wait. Did you say that?
dit-da-dit-da-dit…FRANK READS THE NEWS…THE WORLD LISTENS!
—
New Obama action guy SEAL edition? It seems commenters at the seller’s site are lacking a sense of humor, but most were O.K. with the Obama as the Joker action figure. The real problem here is the idea of an action figure of a man for who exhibits no action.
—
Romney’s Mormonism makes Frank uncomfortable; however, we are left to wonder if his latest appearance without a necktie indicates some type of split with the Mormon Church.
—
Frank insightfully recommends that Biden make himself noticed by bringing donuts to the office. There may be a fly in the ointment with respect to the fact that co-workers may not care for imaginary donuts purchased from a restaurant that exists only in Biden’s imagination.
—
The Republican version of Dennis Kucinich says he would not approved shooting Osama in the eye. His interview is — if you can believe it — is more incomprehensible than usual. Two take away points: First, why can’t we all get along? Second, it would be wrong to send helicopters and SEALS on a mission to a London hotel.
—
Lastly, Frank informs us that Osama’s wives don’t like us. Just another sign of success in a long war.
Oooops. Should be: …an action figure of a man who exhibits no action.
Sorry to hear you had to live in Seattle, Shiggz. But just imagine how I feel – I was born and grew-up there and 50 years ago, it was a pretty good town. But when I go in there these days, I find it’s full of ugly, fat, liberal women who don’t know how to drive (ugly bags of mostly
watercrap!). Oh, and creepy hippie wannabes with their pants halfway to their knees and their hats on backwards. The kids in there are stupid to beat the band.Sorry… “If you don’t have anything good to say about someone, don’t say anything at all” just doesn’t seem to work for me these days. *Sigh*
The Ronulans must be asleep today. Too bad, I was in the mood for teh troll funneh.
Does the Obama kinetic action figure come with the Nobel Peace Prize accessory kit? A long form birth certificate? Sealed college records? A pole for vaulting over alligator-filled moats? An exemption from Obama Care? A “Klingon” switch so that when you pull the string, it can talk to its wife? A mob of union thugs to lavish campaign money on it? A Constitution to spread on the ground under the Portugese water dog Buddy-Bo accessory? A teleprompter reading, “Yes, I did!”? Realistic sneer action? And, most importantly, do we have to keep paying for it for the next 100 years?
“* The U.S is interviewing three of bin Laden’s wives, and they’re reportedly “hostile” to us. Why? What did we do?”
Just because we killed their husband, I hope they don’t indulge in an anti-Christian backlash…because that would be hateful and wrong.
Thanks for the link to pomplamoose.

He is funny and she has a smile that could slay most men.
She also has a great voice and he makes the music – or most of it. They do well together. ((She reminds me a lot of the secretary (use-to-be) in the series, ‘The Office’. Pam?))
Crabby, any good conservative knows that those accessories are extra and can only be purchased with the new, government-approved, tracking chip-equipped, GM credit card (w/21% interest rate). In other words, yes.
I found a video that Jimmy and Marco made together… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pXfHLUlZf4&feature=BFa&list=SPED9441CFC963F147&index=10
Wow. She IS an angry bird.
So, they made a video game about her?
@USSJC: I literally came close to blowing my coffee all over my monitor. I guess that’s fitting. For the rest of you, you’ve got to get far enough into the video to figgur out it’s a parody.
Oh, and depending on where you work, the video is prolly not safe, but what the heck, it’s Saturday.
The Obama action figure should be holding a golf club
I found this video of ussjimmycarter when he was a boy:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U39SV2dbDvw
Sorta explains a lot, I think. Keep track of long you can stand watching it.
Frank J. throws his hat(s) into a ring full of liberals:

FWIW, I love Pomplamoose.
Huckabee announced that he WON’T run. Yay!
#41 – Jimmy, 37 seconds.
Oh, you missed some of the best, then, 4of7.
This one’s for DamnCat:

I was in no mood for comment until somebody reminded me that Huckabee sucks! I mean he’s not running! Yaaay!
The next words I want to hear out of his mouth are “You will never hear from me again. I promise.”
Sorry, I mean that’s what I want to hear him saying on am radio. Then I want to forget about him. May he live happily ever after.
Jimmy – Go clean yourself up!
Thanks for being honest about your prejudices Frank. It’s always good to know where someone’s bigotries lie. You can then avoid offending/irritating them with your mere presence.
TTFN
I did, ussjimmycarter!
“I shaved extra close this morning in anticipation of getting smacked by you.” WAR!
And seanmahair, read Frank again:
“* Romney does not like Obamacare. He will repeal it if he’s president. But he really likes his Romneycare which was exactly like Obamacare but only in Massachusetts. This makes me antsy about supporting Romney… probably because he’s Mormon.”
The way I read that, Romney’s dualistic position doesn’t make sense. And Frank’s doesn’t either – on purpose, to illustrate his point. It’s supposed to be humorous, I think. Maybe I’m wrong.
One of the signs of a good writer (in my book), is a perfect willingness to be misinterpreted. Genug.
@seanmahair: I may not understand, but was that the line that offended you? I see it as ironic humor related to the fact that liberals accuse conservatives of relying on racism for all political animus. Frank finds a reasonable reason to oppose Romney, but discards it in favor of questioning his religion.
If I understand you correctly, you prollly dislike the weak joke I made regarding Mitt making a speech without a neck tie; however, it fits into the same good natured ribbing I receive and give regarding individual Christian denominations.
At your pleasure, feel free to regard or disregard this post. In closing, I would like to quote Jimmy and say, nicht genug?
Burmashave, you made the point better than I did.
Seanmahair, I hope you continue to comment. You (and others) are one of the reasons I read and comment here.
Come on! I wanna see one of these Irish dohickies: 🙂
Or even one of these: 😉
Or even this little Irish wee one: ☺
#45 – Jimmy,
Ok, I watched it again and it got better.
(kid slaps himself) “I’m the president! You don’t slap me!” (then chokes himself.) Now that’s funny!
A day without Seanmahair’s comments is like a day without sunshine!
And too many days without sunshine can cause rickets!

I don’t think ussjimmycarter thinks it’s funny, though, 4of7. Kinda like seanmahair doesn’t think Frank’s comment is funny either (which it wasn’t, except in that “dig dig” not-really-meant, this-is-obviously-ridiculous sort of way and since you know Frank doesn’t really mean it, it’s funny, since it’s Frank. (Oh, shut-up Jimmy!)).
Personally, I love seanmahair’s Mormonism and I’m not Mormon. But then, I’ve been known to hang-out with Lutherans, Presbyterians, Catholics, Jews and even people from Ohio!
Speaking of Lutherans….
Do you know what Lutherans do with their beer bottles??
(Ok, now trust me people. One more for today…)

(Hint: This one’s artistic!)
Y’all are sweet and no I wasn’t planning to stay away. I’m simply going to try to stay out of the whole Romney – Mormon – politics thingy. I can’t convince folks who dislike/despise/fear/(negative adjective here) Mormons any different and I’m not up to trying. So better I should just avoid the temptation to be offensive or to be offended.
Brigham Young once said (paraphrase) //He who takes offense when no offense is meant is a fool……..he that takes offense when offense is meant is also a fool. I am totally aware my faults (fool-wise) at least. // We do try to have a sense of humor but sometimes we don’t (I don’t, mea culpa). So sorry.
Sorry if I gave y’all the wrong impression. I love you too.
Yay!
Warning: that last bit of wisdom from seanmahair is meant to disguise the irrational contempt which mormons feel for all other people, and to protect them against retribution for their future actions. That’s why they paraphrase.
Unfortunately, I’m serious. 🙁
Offense intended. Sorry.
Sorry to disappoint but I paraphrased because it was too late (for me, 5 am comes very early) and a I was too lazy to find the actual quote. Most Mormons ( not me of course, I personally detest human beings as a species and feel God’s time would have been better spent something more productive when when he decided to make man……..danced, played Mario Cart, Go Fish or perhaps picnicked with the Angels) love their brother and sister humans, truly.
And since we’re the only religious group in the US that have had an extermination order put out on them that lasted until the early 1970’s I don’t think we’ve escaped retribution.
Retribution for what I could ask but I realize that all the evils in the world are due to us.
Yet again why I said ta-ta in the first place. See Jimmy and 4 of 7 I don’t have to say anything offensive, my very existence is an excuse for abuse. It gets a little tiring after a while and one’s sense of the ridiculous is taxed to the extreme.
I don’t have a problem with Romney because he’s a Mormon, although not a fan of Mormonism myself. I do have a problem with Romney because he’s a RINO and the LAST thing we need running for the GOP is another RINO who is up for POTUS because “it’s his turn” a.k.a. Bob Dole, John McCain! We need a strong, articulate rock solid CONSERVATIVE who understands that both Romney Care and Obama Care are Nanny State Programs! When the Government has control over your body, you are pretty much over!
Romney keeps giving lame talks about how Romney Care was a good idea but Obama Care isn’t??? It doesn’t sell, Mittens! You are a technocrat and the last thing we need! We need a bold CONSERVATIVE leader who will talk about budget cuts and massive reform of government! You aren’t up to that job! You love Government! You believe in Government! That’s the problem!
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
We ended the extermination order?
I wish someone would’ve told me that before last weekend.
Jimmy, next time you are the YouTubes check out the Liberty University Bed Intruder version of the old Bed Intruder songs from a year or two ago. Helps a lot if you are familiar with the original viral video that they put their talented spin on.
Hey Sean, I’m with USSJC on the question of Romney’s religion and glad you posted back. I don’t have an irrational fear that somehow his being a Mormon would negatively affect his job as president. On the contrary, I know that as Mormon, he likely shares the many of the same moral values that I have. That matters to me. Were it not for Obamacare, he’d likely be my guy.
As my (baptist) pastor said to me once with regard to Romney, “We [evangelicals] thought Carter was a good idea, but look at how that turned out.” My pastor meant that evangelicals thought that Carter was one of our own, but the end, his utter failure as a president taught a number of us that religion shouldn’t be an important issue when choosing a candidate. (I’m not comparing Romney to Carter.)
That said, I will still poke fun at him with Mormon stereotypes, just as I get grief for being opposed to dancing (we’re not really), opposed to cards (we generally don’t care) and against drinking (which is A-OK in moderation). I had a good belly laugh last week watching MST3K when Crow said of a horrible 1960’s dancer, “She dances like a Southern Baptist!”
My dear Burma I don’t really mind the gentle tweaks we all toss around about stereo types. What bothers me the most is that someone would use someone’s religion as a reason they should not be elected, not get a job, not get a spot in school.
I personally don’t support Mr Romney. He is too much of an independent for my taste. Unlike some citizens I don’t vote for someone base on their religion nor do I vote for someone based on the color of their skin, their ethnicity or their political party. I vote based on what they actually do. I vote based on not just their public lives but on how they run their lives. I guess that makes me judgmental but someone who can’t be faithful to the people they say they love, they can’t be faithful to the citizens of this country.
Oh and Peasant, yes they did but I’ll bet you could get the Mob running Illinois to put it back in effect. It probably won’t be too expensive. Stuff like that’s cheap in this economy. Of course these days folks are not quite as willing to be murdered so it might not be as much fun.
Carry on.
Yay! Seanmahair is back! 🙂
Romans 14:4
“Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls. And he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.”
@seanmahair: I looked it up on wikipedia,and Missouri executive order 44 was unjustified as it was worded. I would go on, but since you feel abused, I apologize. I may have been too blunt to be accurate. TY for the education.
RON PAUL!
Thank you Milli, I am going to stay out of the fray for now. It’s just not worth the aggravation, irritation el al. Of course because my ancestors are mostly Irish I will of course find myself unable to keep my temper and will of course break my resolution. Just like giving up chocolate, it’s a pledge destined for failure, but I am determined to give it the old college try.
