One Good Offensive Picture Deserves Another

[High Praise! to The Looking Spoon]

For its upcoming cover, The New Yorker has chosen to turn innocent childhood icons into something inappropriately adult and splash them across the front of a nationally-distributed magazine:

Look, liberals, Bert & Ernie are nothing but a felt-covered parody of the Odd Couple for young people. If you insist on inserting your agenda into this, how about we insert a discussion of the unfounded rumors about Obama’s… um… discreet indulgences into an alternative lifestyle?

Link of the Day: Support the Coup at Nuking Politics

[High Praise! to Anonymiss of Nuking Politics]

Just as the American Revolution helped inspire the French Revolution, so my attempt at wresting power from Frank J. here at IMAO (failed though it was) has sparked a feminine and cookiefied uprising at Nuking Politics.

Her Infinite Majesty Empress Kitten the First (formerly known as Anonymiss) seeks your assistance in consolidating power.

Go lend a hand.

Wisdom of the Day: Wake Bland Bloomberg Math Dance

A White House 4th of July

Obama apparently has a very long to do list this year for Independence Day.  Here is what my leaks claim he will be busy with this holiday:

  • Lay by the pool with his old, lovingly dog-eared copy of The Communist Manifesto.
  • Finally get around to reading The Declaration of Independence.
  • Ruminate about making his birthday National Black President’s Day.
  • Finally beat the Korean Team in the annual White House hot dog cook off with his special version of Bo-wurst.
  • Cancel the 4th of July and blame it on the sequester.
  • Debut his new 4th of July Pageant in which the British win and King Barack eventually takes the throne.
  • Announce that 9/11 will now be National Tolerance Day, and tell his fireworks crew to ‘light up the sky like Benghazi.’
  • Spend the day in white face and a powdered wig.
  • Go through the NSA phone and e-mail records so he can get his next list of targets to the IRS before the audit deadlines, which inevitably means, get a good tax lawyer, Frank J.
  • Have Bill Ayers over for drinks to discuss their plans for his ‘unauthorized’ autobiography.
  • Give everyone in his administration a gift certificate good for one free pardon.  The offer never expires.
  • Put tiny holes in Biden’s water wings and alert the media so they can catch him jumping into the pool and saving Joe’s life.
  • Take a $29,000,000 family vacation instead of a $30,000,000 vacation, stupid sequester.
  • Take a day off from his arduous golfing schedule.
  • Let Joe come with them to Disneyland so they can jump to the front of the lines.
  • Buy extra bandages and salve in case Joe keeps grabbing the wrong end of the sparklers again.

Obama Warned Us – One People

We worship an awesome God in the blue states and we don’t like federal agents poking around in our libraries in the red states. We are one people, all of us pledging allegiance to the Stars and Stripes, all of us defending the United States of America.

BARACK OBAMA, Larry King Live, Oct. 19, 2006

“And when I’m not worshiping my awesome blue-state God or poking around in red-state libraries, I’m pledging allegiance with my arms by my sides and defending the United States of America from those malcontents who keep trying to protect the Constitution.”

The Continuing Obamacare Clusterfark

So a key component of Obamacare, the employer mandate, is going to be delayed being implemented until 2015 so that there won’t be this massive blow to the economy the Democrats will get blamed for just before the 2014 election.

I don’t know how you can positively spin this. This awesome Obamacare that everyone is supposed to love is just way too scary to actually go ahead and implement. And you think just delaying it will blunt Republican attacks on it? “Make sure to elect more Republicans, or Obamacare is actually going to be implemented. And it’s obviously going to be awful because Obama himself is scared of it.”

I don’t know what we expected though when we had a bunch of idiots in Congress shove through a massive health care law that none of them read or understood. It’s just taken three years for them to begin to realize how stupid that is and that they’re mantra of, “Eventually, everyone is going to love it!” is not happening. Have you talked to the HR department of businesses these days? No one understands exactly what Obamacare will mean for their business; they just know it’s going to hurt.

Anyway, did you know the president could just unilaterally decide to delay implementing a law? If I’m elected president in 2016, that will be my policy for like every law. Then again, maybe there will be a vote. Perhaps it could be an annual tradition — the annual delaying of Obamacare. It will be a yearly reminder that no matter how bad things are, it could be worse.

Calling all cryptozoologists

LochNessMonsterWe’ve all heard stories about mythical creatures running around. The Loch Ness Monster, Bigfoot, chupacabra, mermaids… creatures that don’t exist.

Or do they?

Every time you turn around, there’s another article about how the Mystery of the Loch Ness Monster has been solved. Or the Chupacabra Mystery has been settled. Or something.

Well, over the years, some of the imaginary creatures turned out to be real, and some didn’t. The Giant Squid, is real. And, 200 years ago, white folk didn’t think the gorilla was real. Stupid white folk.

Anyway, here is a list of some of the creatures that some people claim to exist, but which existence is yet to be proven.

If you have sighted any of these creatures, report them. A few of them, the government wants you to report to DHS, so do your duty, Citizen.

If there are any other creatures about which you’ve heard reports, but can’t confirm or are certain aren’t real, let us know. Because, well, Science!
