Part of me admires his creativity and dogged work ethic.
The rest of me can’t help seeing this as a metaphor for implementing Obamacare as a solution to the rising cost of medical care.

Things a Man a Heartbeat from the Presidency Should Never Say
[High Praise! to Oppo]
Joe Biden’s gaffing it up again on guns.
There’s only one thing you can do that’s more grotesquely irresponsible than shooting your gun off a balcony, and in Joe’s mind, it’s good advice:
“Well, you know, my shotgun will do better for you than your AR-15, because you want to keep someone away from your house, just fire the shotgun through the door.”
Check out Joe’s Field & Stream interview for more horrifying unintentional comedy, including:
“No one’s arguing we should make machine guns legal.”
Psst… Joe… they ARE legal. Just heavily regulated and prohibitively expensive.

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.
