I suppose you could stretch things a bit and call it a metaphor for electing Obama despite the signs that it might be a really bad idea.
Anyway, if you see me putting a “Goat 4 Sale” sign on the White House lawn, you’ll know what I’m trying to say.

I suppose Animal would make a decent Hulk.
Anyway, go ahead and offer your Muppet Superhero suggestions in the comments.
Oh… and Crazy Harry as The Green Goblin.

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.
Buried in the fiscal cliff deal: a $4 million credit for electric motorcycles.
The money can be used to pay hospital bills if you show up at a biker rally riding one.

British Prime Minister David Cameron said that tax-avoiding foreign firms like Starbucks and Amazon lack “moral scruples”.
David, you can try to shear a sheep, but don’t expect him to hold the clippers for you.

Probably one of the funniest things about the trillion dollar coin idea — and it’s already about the dumbest political idea anyone has every come up with — is how seriously the advocates are taking it. Like look at this humorless reaction (language warning, of course) to FOX News suggestion that the coin would have to be equal in weight to 89 blue whales.
Really, how dare FOX News make the scheme to use a loophole on a minor law to mint a trillion dollar coin to pay debt seem idiotic. This is smirt people stuff. Very serious.
Works like this: I feed you Moon Nukers a straight line, and you hit me with a punch line in the comments.
After being awarded Father of the Year, Bill Clinton…
Piers Morgan is pretty pompous and dumb, so I don’t really see why he’s been getting so much attention, but still it was pretty nice to see Ben Shapiro take him on. Though I cringed at hearing semi-autos referred to as “assault rifles,” it was nice to see someone stick up for them. My preferred argument about “assault weapons” (read “scary looking guns”) is that in a country of rights, law-abiding citizens don’t need to justify to some snooty Brit why they want something. Still, Shapiro stuck to the defense against tyranny argument. You don’t hear that one that much as it always sounds kinda nutty in such a peaceful country, but it’s true.
Really, guns are the ultimate check and balance against government. And since the government serves the people but doesn’t rule them, it should always have a healthy fear of its citizens (while, on the other hand, the people should never have cause to fear the government). Inane politicians may have many plans to change this nation, but they should always keep in mind that the people they’re trying to push around have many scary looking guns — ones with folding stocks and pistol grips!
Dogs were domesticated. Cats were just made smaller.
If those movies nominated are the “best” pictures last year, then why didn’t I bother to go see any of them?
Can’t wait for the Oscars so they’ll explain to me the difference between “sound editing” and “sound mixing” again.
Not only does Jack Lew’s signature look like that, but he makes airplane noises when he writes it.
I can’t believe FOX News’s silly segment. They’re making this $1 trillion coin idea seem RIDICULOUS.
If we require background checks on all gun purchases and someone purchases a gun without a background check, he’ll be a criminal.
Financed by a trillion dollar coin, Obama could do a gun buyback where he offers $3000 per gun turned in.
So here’s the main thing confusing me about the $1 trillion dollar coin: Is money a real thing or not?
NASA says we needn’t worry about that asteroid hitting Earth in 2036. That’s the good news.
If you remember, in 2004, scientists discovered an asteroid they named Apophis, and were concerned that it might hit Earth during one of its flybys. Now, they say that while it’ll be a close encounter, it won’t be a deadly one:
“With the new data provided by the Magdalena Ridge [New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology] and the Pan-STARRS [Univ. of Hawaii] optical observatories, along with very recent data provided by the Goldstone Solar System Radar, we have effectively ruled out the possibility of an Earth impact by Apophis in 2036,” said Don Yeomans, manager of NASA’s Near-Earth Object Program Office at JPL. “The impact odds as they stand now are less than one in a million, which makes us comfortable saying we can effectively rule out an Earth impact in 2036. Our interest in asteroid Apophis will essentially be for its scientific interest for the foreseeable future.”
The April 13, 2029, flyby of asteroid Apophis will be one for the record books. On that date, Apophis will become the closest flyby of an asteroid of its size when it comes no closer than 19, 400 miles (31,300 kilometers) above Earth’s surface.
Personally, I was never worried. After Obama’s reelection, I’m thinking won’t be a civilization left for Apophis to destroy.
In Illinois, a Denny’s restaurant manager kicked out 5 cops for being armed.
Ironically, that move is only effective on GOOD guys with guns.
