George Washington on Gun Control
The Most Truth Ever Packed Into Three Words
[High Praise! to Legal Insurrection]
On a related note, the Dennis Miller Show (guest-hosted by Breitbart’s Larry O’Connor) on Wednesday had a caller who, when asked directly if he wanted government handouts or if he wanted a job, said “hopefully, both”.
I felt nauseous and wept for my country a little.
Link of the Day: The New V-E Day, or: A Preview of Obama’s Next SOTU Address
[High Praise! to The People’s Cube]
A Commemorative Address on the Defeat of the U.S. Economy

Communism: It Just Works
[High Praise! to Moonbattery]
Jeffrey Immelt:
The one thing that actually works, state run communism – may not be your cup of tea, but their government works.
Desperate plea for help found in a box of Halloween decorations imported from China:
“If you occasionally buy this product, please kindly resend this letter to the World Human Right Organization. Thousands people here who are under the persicution of the Chinese Communist Party Government will thank and remember you forever.”
The graveyard kit, the letter read, was made in unit 8, department 2 of the Masanjia Labor Camp in Shenyang, China.
Chinese characters broke up choppy English sentences.
“People who work here have to work 15 hours a day without Saturday, Sunday break and any holidays. Otherwise, they will suffer torturement, beat and rude remark. Nearly no payment (10 yuan/1 month).”
Ten yuan is equivalent to $1.61.
For what it’s worth, I’ve never found one of these notes attached to a license plate made in an American prison.
Perfect! Now Can You Do Something About the Cost of Healthcare?

This week’s uncaptioned picture for you to play with [High Praise! to iOwnTheWorld]:
Nothing obscure this week. No award.
However, bacon to AT for taking the trouble to move Obama’s arm over half an inch for the empty chair reference.
PRODUCTION NOTES:
#1: When creating lolbama! pictures, please caption with either black or white text, as colors like red and yellow tend to blur badly when I compress the images.
#2: Standard image size for these posts is 350px wide by whatever high. If you can have your images 350px wide before you caption them, I won’t end up shrinking your captions into illegibility when I re-size the images.
MAKE YOUR OWN: The free lolbuilder from I Can Has Cheezburger.
STYLE NOTE: Short captions are usually better. Your goal is 10 words or less, with humor value tending to increase exponentially as the number of words approaches 1.
IMAGE SOURCES: Lots of great Obama pics to be found at the White House Flickr page.
Send your submissions to lolterizt@gmail.com and – if they aren’t obscene (IMAO is a PG-13 site) and don’t suck too terribly bad – I’ll post them for you. Remember to include your name (and blog URL, if applicable) so I know who to thank.
