* If Obama doesn’t get his job-killing tax hikes as part of the debt deal, he’s threatening to not send seniors their Social Security checks. So let him further murder the economy, or old people will die! I don’t even get why he’s holding such a hard line on job killing tax hikes considering how willing he’s been to spend regardless of tax revenue before. All he wants is the debt ceiling raised so he can start recklessly spending some more, so why insist on job destruction? Maybe its just hatred of this country, but maybe he’s just trying to spoil the deal because he wants to hurt old people. Maybe this is all about lingering hatred for his typical white grandmother.
Or maybe my problem is that I’m trying to put some sort of logic behind Obama’s actions. Maybe the guy has gone mental. I mean, he’s a small man in a big job, and maybe the pressure has finally gotten to him. We always thought he was just making up straw men for his speeches to be dumbly partisan, but maybe he’s actually hallucinating these made up people arguing with him. Wait a second… what does his teleprompter he’s been reading off of actually say…
Oh no. OH NO! It’s just ‘All work and no play makes Barry a dull boy’ written over and over! Where is Obama? Is someone keeping an eye on him? Wait? What’s that sound?
HE’S IN MY HOUSE!
* Senator McConnell has announced his fallback plan where Obama and the Democrats would have the power to raise the debt ceiling themselves. Then Democrats would have to own raising the debt ceiling and Republicans could wash their hands of it. But, on the other hand, DEMOCRATS WOULD BE ABLE TO RAISE THE DEBT CEILING THEMSELVES!
If we really want to get this country on track, it’s all about giving these people less power, not more. The best government of all would have these people with nothing but a couple bucks to spend and they’d use all their time arguing whether lunch should be at Arby’s or Taco John’s.
* Ron Paul will not run for reelection, instead he’s opting to focus on his presidential run. So what should Ron Paul do after he loses the presidential race (since he’s a nutter and his supporters are super-nutters)? I’m thinking he should use all that enthusiasm he’s made for himself to start a business — maybe like an arts and crafts store where he sells ribbons, thread, googly eyes in bulk, and such. And he should call the store “RON PAUL!” Then all his followers can get on every bboard and every blog comment section and spam about how great RON PAUL! is… maybe even going door to door screaming “RON PAUL!” They could even have a nice slogan for the store: “First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then they buy your multi-colored construction paper at its everyday low low price!”
* Amazon is striking back against the new tax law in California by sponsoring a ballot initiative to repeal it. So it will be contest of who is more popular: California’s government or Amazon.com. That’s too easy. Let’s try another one – Who is more popular: California’s government or pedophiles.
* Electronic Arts has acquired PopCap games for $750 million. I’m hoping we’ll see some synergy between the two, like maybe a Madden vs. Zombies game.
* Netflix is having a big price hike. Instead of $9.99 for unlimited streaming plus one DVD at a time, it will be $7.99 for unlimited streaming and another $7.99 for one DVD at a time. I kinda wonder if they’re just trying to scare more people off of DVDs since they really just want to focus on streaming (in other countries where Netflix has launched, they don’t even do DVDs). Considering how long our DVDs from Netflix sit around versus streaming we watch, we’ll probably just drop getting DVDs. DVDs are so low tech anyway; I mean to watch one you have to get up off the couch and find it and then put it in the DVD player like you’re some caveman. With streaming, you just stay there relaxed on the couch and select what you want to watch. And if we really want to see a new release, we can rent through Amazon and also still stay on the couch. Someday, in the future, we’ll never have to leave the couch — unless we want to explore strange new worlds, seek out new life and new civilizations, and boldly go where no man has gone before… but from the state of our space program, I’m pretty sure we don’t want to do that. Couch is where the future is!
* Interesting story from Russia: A man tries to rob a salon, and then the 28-year-old female owner — who is a black belt — knocks him out with one kick. Neat so far, huh? Well, then the woman ties the robber up naked, feeds him nothing but Viagra, and keeps him as a sex slave for three days to teach him a lesson. I don’t know what to say that other than vigilante justice in real life is always quite different from Batman.

* Obama is still in my house, BTW. He’s eating all my Reese’s Peanut Buttercups and he won’t leave. I mean, I haven’t come out and told him to leave — that would just be rude — but I’ve heavily implied I’d like him to go. Guy will not take a hint.
I’m hoping we’ll see some synergy between the two, like maybe a Madden vs. Zombies game.
It was already done, Mutant League Football.
Much better than Madden. I’ve played Madden, and you can’t even kill the ref once! And forget about landmines.
They could even bribe the refs. It was like a Cowboys game on Nintendo!
That’s how the Russians handle everything.
“Or maybe my problem is that I’m trying to put some sort of logic behind Obama’s actions.”
Are you trying to insinuate that George Soros is not logical?
“Obama is still in my house, BTW. He’s eating all my Reese’s Peanut Buttercups and he won’t leave.”
You talk like having peanut butter cups is a good thing. Beside didn’t you know, osama says, all your cupz belongs to us.
Now! Out of the way, I am headed for Russia to become a burglar.
When I first read the details of Sen. McConnell’s plan, I was confused. It’s got all kinds of stuff about Obama submitting a request to raise the ceiling but having to submit spending cuts at the same time but the increase will be automatically passed unless everyone objects but mebbe not the spending cuts but he can do this four or five times but each time it’s only for about $700 billion.
Then, I read the description at Ace of Spades, and I figgurred it out: “Have at it, Obama.”
Didja catch the article on HotAir about the atheists who are opposing the naming of a street “Seven in Heaven”? The name is in honor of seven local Brooklyn firefighters who lost their lives on 9/11. Here’s the thing. I’m all for religious freedom, but on the other hand, I’m also all for muskets to the junk, with bayonet if necessary. As the great Ted Knight once said, “I didn’t want to do it. I felt I owed it to them.”
Take out your guns and start cleaning them. Barry’s such a pansy-@ss that he’ll run out the door screaming like a little tiny girl.
Re: the Russian salon owner…is that on pay per view?
Keep that creep away from your buttercups!!! (I’m leaving out the part about shooting him because I don’t have time to visit with the federales)
Madden vs. Zombies: Man, those football zombies are the worst – super-fast AND hard to kill. Only the Power of Madden could defeat them.
What does Obummer have against old people? First death panels, now starve ’em out. What’s next? A televised public stoning of Betty White?
Betty White would kick Obama’s az…imuth.
We we see Jewel Twist merged with Grand Theft Auto, that’s all I want to know.
I hate to say this, but give Obama a break. After living off of Moochelle’s diet I’d be raiding my neighbor’s peanutbutter cups, too. But why is Obama your neighbo?r Is he stalking you like that reporter stalked Palin? Creepy.
So he’s attempting to throw seniors under the bus he drove into the canyon next to the ditch?
OK, I’ve had zombies up to here (raises hand very high) but I would buy Madden vs Zombie Attack. “Here’s a guy whose head is almost entirely rotted through, but you know, when he gets movin’ in the backfield, you can’t tell where he’s gonna end up. I remember that tight end when he was still alive, and you know, death really has improved his game.”
oh yeah, Zombie on Zombie action… nice. Can’t tell who’s arm is where or what body part is what or what that guy over there in the corner is munching on, now that’s hot!
@Mxymaster: “That guy, he really plays with heart – hey, whose heart is that, anyway? The thing is, you know, these guys just never give up. I like that in a player. You practically have to shoot these guys in the head to stop them. If fact, you literally have to shoot them in the head. Gumption, that’s what it is. Or voodoo magic. Whatever.”
After Ron Paul loses the primary he should be given a ream of paper and a pair of safety scissors.
@Crabby:
“Now this, this kid, Glurk, he’s got one hell of an arm. Actually, looking at the tape, you see he’s got about five of them, bundled up for snacks. I like a guy who thinks ahead. Now, wait–you see, the humans are going for the long bomb here. In fact, I think it’s a M982 Excalibur. Boy, that’ll leave a mark.”
I know ! Pay the Russian Salon Keeper’s bail on the promise she raid your kitchen ! Video tape it for the DNC website that mysteriously appears and cannot be scrubbed !
Ron Paul ’12. Enough said. You’re starting to sound like an old shriveled up hippie/commie/liberal/progressive with all this Ron Paul bashing Frank…
Obama’s actions aren’t so hard to explain if we surmise 1) a strategy to take the USA down several pegs in order to make possible a United Federation of Planets style world government, plus 2) basic incompetence.
