Not a Metaphor: This Is How the Liberal Media Operates

[High Praise! to Laughing Conservative]

Lies and Irony

[High Praise! to The Truth About Guns]

Franklin Foer: Have you ever fired a gun?

President Obama: Yes, in fact, up at Camp David, we do skeet shooting all the time.

Liar. He hasn’t the slightest idea what burnt gun powder smells like.

I do.

It’s like bacon that you can’t eat. It smells like…

…freedom.

The interview continues:

FF: The whole family?

President Obama: Not the girls, but oftentimes guests of mine go up there.

“Not the girls”

…says the man who wants women in combat.

How to Make a Liberal’s Head Explode

[High Praise! to The Astute Bloggers]

When liberals tell you they support another expansion of federal power at the expense of personal liberty you should ask them how’d they feel if President Palin and Majority Leader Cruz and Speaker Ryan had that power.

Do they really want Palin and Cruz and Ryan to control their healthcare or pensions?

Then, while they’re stammering at the prospect of Palin signing 23 PRO-GUN executive orders or 23 PRO-LIFE executive orders, ask them why they think that giving career politicians and bureaucrats more money and more influence over the lives of ordinary people will improve things for the ordinary people.

Wishing to Upgrade My Ignorance

Is it normal to use a shotgun with a ported barrel to shoot skeet?

I ask, because it’s not a sport I participate in, and I didn’t even know there was such a thing as a shotgun with a ported barrel.

UPDATE: I had to Google this, but here’s the difference between sporting clays, skeet, and trap.

Which makes me wonder if Obama was describing his activity as “skeet” because that’s what he was actually doing, or if he was shooting trap, but doesn’t know the difference.

Bloomberg Loves His Guns

After asking Mayor Bloomberg about gun control, a reporter was shooed away by his armed security detail.

Weird. You’d think they’d just wear “gun-free zone” t-shirts.

Getting Ready for the Big Game

A website that predicts the outcome of sporting events based on computer models picked the 49ers to win the Super Bowl.

Big deal. I can do that with a coin flip. You want to impress me? Predict how many Super Bowl commercials will feature monkeys in business suits.

This week’s uncaptioned picture for you to play with [High Praise! to James]:

That’s the official White House Obama-shooting-skeet picture, which you’re not allowed to manipulate.


Mrs C for “touchdown”.


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.
