(Bacon to Basil for suggesting this)

In the comments to a recent post where I described Democrat Rep. Jim McDermott wanting to take down the FBI’s wanted posters of terrorists because they’re “offensive to Muslims”, walruskkkch said:

Going to have to invent a new word for McDermott, for some reason stupid just doesn’t cut it anymore.

Good idea.

I’m going to start things off with “uncromulent“.

Your turn in the comments, please.

The State Department is prepping its policy regarding the Egyptian coup, and my man in State has managed to get his hands on Susan Rice’s talking points.  She is positing these as the primary reasons for the rioting in Egypt.

• The sequester.
• The fact that bikinis will be banned at the Miss Universe Pageant in Indonesia.
• The unlawful delays in the implementation of ObamaCare.
• This Youtube Video.
• Israel exists.
• It was discovered that Morsi was targeting his opponents using tax audits, which was more corruption than the Egyptians could stomach.
• It was rumored that Morsi was planning on nationalizing Michelle’s nutrition recommendations.
• The new season of Arrested Development was such a letdown.
• It was announced that there would be free punch and pie.
• What?!! Suzanne Hofts of The Bangles is Jewish?!!
• Morsi was too slow implementing marriage equality, and those camels have such pretty lips.  And those lady humps…
• The video for Walk Like an Egyptian was inaccurate and offensive and immorally burka-free, so the men have no choice but to act like mad dogs in the face of such wanton sexuality.
• This is what happens when your communities aren’t properly organized.
• There were rumors of a Justin Beiber sighting, and in a case like that , it is first come, first stones.
• A Danish cartoonist published this offensive cartoon.

4of7, resident IMAO artist, has sent me some new artwork. The first is entitled “Dial B for Bacon (or Baby)” and was sent to celebrate the birth of my son:

The next is him trying to illustrate the idea of bacon in art form:

And the last is my favorite. He has a number of possible titles for it, but I like the idea that at the center is the Constitution which is in battle against little ninja monkeys that are hidden throughout the drawing:

I usually hate art and creativity and beauty, but I really like these.

So Obama has this brand new thing he just thought of after four years in office: Make the government smarter and more efficient! And he’s super excited and tweeting about it and sending this image around:

Actually, doesn’t he look kind of bored in that? So bored, I can only guess that what’s on screen must be unemployment statistics.

Anyway, smarter government sounds like a good idea. I mean, here’s what the government is doing now: the IRS just accidentally released thousands of people’s social security numbers. Frankly, it doesn’t seem like the government could get much dumber. But do you really think Obama (with the help of Biden!) are capable of making things smarter? Is there any indication they even know what smarter is?

Frankly, these days I’d settle for a less malicious government. Until then, I’d rather the government stay dumb.
