If you did, you should probably email him about becoming a guest blogger there.
If you didn’t, keep trying. No one likes a quitter.
Remember when Frank said movies should be fun?
This is the funnest movie I’ve seen in years. As in pure, silly, pointless, goofy fun from start to finish. Enjoy:
One Russian politician is claiming that the meteor that hit their country was a US weapons test.
Ya know, if John Kerry were smart, he’d say “yes it was, so don’t get out of line”.

It never really seemed right killing perfect strangers, but having come from a small family, I’d run out of options.

Just so you know, when people ask where you were on 9/11, they’re actually FBI agents trying to see if you were involved.

We focus too much on Ashley Judd and not enough on the 300 million odd other Americans who will also never be senators.

DC’s Ray’s Hell-Burger, famously visited by President Obama in 2009, has now gone out of business.
We should have Obama visit North Korea.
I want to know that if you elect me president in 2016, I will barely use the power of government because I fear what that is. At the the heart of every single law is a threat: I will send people with guns after you if you don’t do that. It doesn’t matter how minor the law is, the threat is there. Such as in New York City, if you sell a 17 oz soda and refuse to stop, eventually people with guns will come after you. Over soda. So obviously the people who wield the power of government haphazardly are psychopaths who should be locked up. Also, anyone who claims to be a peaceful person but is for government expansion is in fact a very violent person who loves using the threat of force to get what he wants and will use it in even minor instances. In fact, I could repeatedly punch that person in the face and be less violent. And I probably will do that.
But I am not a violent person, so I won’t use the government to force people to do anything and will dismantle as much of it as I can.
Frank J. 2016: I will obliterate the government because I am not violent.
Works like this: I feed you Moon Nukers a straight line, and you hit me with a punch line in the comments.
Raul Castro announced he will retire. Replacing him will be…
So Hagel was confirmed for Secretary of Defense, which just confirms that there is no such thing as too dumb to be in Obama’s cabinet. In fact, it almost seems like Obama is purposely surrounding with really stupid people — such as, of course, his vice president. Maybe Obama is really insecure about his intelligence — which makes sense considering he’s never accomplished anything useful his entire life — and thus can’t stand to be around anyone smarter than himself. Hence his inner circle of dimwits.
Then again, maybe Obama is just so stupid he doesn’t know what smart is. That’s certainly true of all the people who think Obama is really intelligent, but maybe it applies to Obama himself.
Anyway, this is why you don’t give the federal government lots of power because inevitably it’s going to end up in the hands of really stupid people. Now we have to ride this out for four more years. Maybe one day we’ll have a government that isn’t an obstacle to prosperity, but I’d never count on it.

If we want to preserve marriage as a religious institution, we need to divorce it from the state which will never stopping messing with it.
Separation of church and state is more important as a protection of the church than of the state.
What is it we want from the state with marriage? A blessing or a suite of legal contracts?
Just take the word marriage out of it. Make a suite of legal contacts available to consenting adults to sign in front of a lawyer.
Or group of adults to sign together. Let’s just head off that controversy now.
There’s no such thing as too dumb to be the Secretary of Defense.
The most popular bigotry these days is dismissing anyone who disagrees with you on a political issue as a bigot.
I forgot to ask: Did Seth McFarlane do funny voices during the Oscars? And what’s an “Argo”?
Found a picture on the Internet the other day, and it made me think of you. Well, kinda. Let me explain.
Here’s the part of that image that was of most interest:
[Click the image to see the full original, in context, apparently in the window of a shop in Idaho Springs, Colorado.]
Now you see why I thought of you.
No, I’m not calling you a hippie. I thought of you, because I thought this is a sign that you could use. Or, that we could use here at IMAO.
So, I’m asking you: How could we use this sign at IMAO? Or, how could you use this sign? What do you think, sirs?
Hillary Clinton plans to make money by going out on the lecture circuit.
Can you imagine trying to sell tickets to that? “Hillary will be speaking” – “What does it matter!”
