Political Metaphor of the Day: Occupy vs. Tea Party
CAUTION: Contains violence and mild zombie gore.
I’m a little fuzzy on who XXL is or what they do (I think it’s a German company that sells sports equipment), but I like their twisted sense of humor, and the commercial has excellent production values.

You’ve Been Judged!
Keln of Nuking Politics picked his favorite punchlines to “To solve the city’s financial problems, Detroit…”

If you did, you should probably email him about becoming a guest blogger there.
If you didn’t, he’s got another straight line for you to practice on.
Keep trying. No one likes a quitter.

Seriously, you’ve GOT to check out Hunter’s post. It’s even got artist renderings:
Also, I’m thinking this video might give you some more ideas on how to celebrate Liberal Appreciation Month.

You’d Think She’d Have Been Too Busy Doing Her Own Damn Job to Notice
A Ohio community college forced a construction crew to remove its “Men Working” sign after the sign was deemed sexist by a female employee.
I’m surprised she didn’t also complain “working” was offensive to lazy people.
Cat Carriers
Apparently cats carry a parasite that can infect your brain and cause suicidal thoughts. And here I thought suicidal thoughts were just a normal response to realizing your house is filled with cats.

Frank J. 2016: What We Deserve
When I’m elected president, I don’t plan to give a lot of speeches because the job of the president isn’t to give everyone pep talks. Really, people, you’re adults; figuring everything out on your own. Still, I’m working on one speech for if I ever here people whining about the rich and how they have too much money.
This is a rich country. We are blessed with fortune and opportunity none of us had to work for; that came from the work of others. You should be grateful for that and work hard to try and earn what you were already given, but if instead your reaction is to whine about people who have more than you, then I do have something to give you: A fist for your stupid hippie face. Do you greedy little bastards really want to only get what you deserve? Because for most of you whiners, that means you starving the death. And I’ll also get something out of that: laughter.
Short and to the point; no reason to blab for hours.

Straight Line of the Day: Weirdest Ornament on the White House Christmas Tree…
Obama’s 2nd Term Brought to You By…
Obama has changes his position and now corporate funding will be accepted for his inauguration. This sounds like a great opportunity for sponsorship. Here’s some ideas:
* Bankruptcy attorneys.
* Services that cater to the unemployed like job hunting sites.
* Al Qaeda. Think of how “A 2nd Obama term, brought to you by Al Qaeda” would really get people fearing them again.
* Mental health services targeted to anyone really enthusiastic about a 2nd Obama term.
* Canada. “Hey, you always make fun of us, but we don’t seem so shabby now, huh?”
* Hard liquor; realizing we have Obama for another four years will significantly increase liquor sales.
Of course, all the people really behind Obama’s 2nd term aren’t going to care about the pomp and circumstances and just want free stuff, but Obama won’t be using money donated to him to buy people presents. He only uses our money for that.
Cartoon of the day

I know some people — otherwise pretty good people, but with no sense whatsoever when it comes to things like economic reality — that support higher taxes for “the rich.”
Talking with them goes something like this:
Me: So, if someone makes the same amount of money as you, should they pay the same amount of taxes as you?
Them: Of course.
Me: So, what about someone who makes twice as much as you? Should they pay twice as much as you?
Them: Yes, it’s only fair.
Me: What about someone who makes 1,000 as much as you? 1,000 times as much in taxes?
Them: Yes, they should.
They truly have no clue about taxes, and that they just said that higher incomes should get a tax break, not a tax increase. It’s times like those that I wish I had my cluebat with me.
Random Thoughts: National Treasure
The average person treats monopoly money more seriously than Congress and the President treat tax dollars and the federal budget.

Did we ever get revenge on Japan for Pearl Harbor?
The Founding Fathers wrote gay marriage in the Constitution from the beginning but hid it in a way only Nicholas Cage would be able to find.
There is nothing red about the ginger, so why do we call red head kids gingers? Maybe because like the ginger root they have no soul.

Listing Michelle Obama’s Weaknesses? Where to Begin…
Samuel L. Jackson suggested Michelle Obama run for President, saying “Michelle is Superwoman. What can’t she do?”
