Forget Punching Hippies, Hippie Skeet Is Where It’s At

(Submitted by Ed the Pastor [High Praise!])

Yes, this is a hymn in praise of the joyous wonders of Oregon’s Obamacare exchange.

Yes, it really is a song about the “freedom” provided by a government mandate, and using “your own wings” in a system that’s paid for by someone else.

The fact that the writer of this song does NOT note the irony of it – in fact, he’s quite sincere – is (one of the many reasons) why I hate hippies.

Ya know, when *I* watch it, I’m picturing it as an allegory for Obama’s death panel victims flying off to heaven.

Except in heaven, the music will be a LOT better.

You Got a License for That Windmill, Boy?

A new study shows that wind energy facilities have killed 67 federally protected golden and bald eagles in the last five years.

Wouldn’t it be cheaper to use shotguns?

This week’s uncaptioned picture for you to play with:


Nothing obscure this week.


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.
