The Obamacare of Short Films (Metaphorically Speaking)

Posted by Harvey on 5 October 2013, 10:00 pm

The only difference is that this film descends into self-parody on purpose and is entertaining because of it.

This is a story of long, long ago in the American West. A brave cowboy heroically saves a beautiful girl in imminent danger from a villain. It is a classic scene but so classic that film prints are now worn-out. There are scratched and stains. The frames are sometimes jumbled. The hero not only has to fight against the villain but must also struggle against the film projecting him. The whole film is filled with jokes and nostalgia, paying homage to silent animated films.

What Are We Paying These People For?

The FDA is paying a company $182,000 to track the FDA’s online presence so it can “better understand” its social media campaigns.

Can’t they just get a free report from the NSA as a professional courtesy?

For the Vets Who Liberated the WWII Memorial

Back in 1945, the people who led this nation weren’t afraid to use the word “Victory”.

And when you got there to visit that Memorial, you were told that it was closed. Access was only made possible through the efforts of Congressmen Palazzo, (R-Miss), Steve King, (R-Iowa), and Congresswoman Bachmann, (R-Minn).

The leftists who are currently in control of the government don’t seem to understand Honor and Respect, and they don’t understand what the rest of us have always known: you preserved the Freedom that this country has enjoyed in all the years since that Victory. Thank you.

If it weren’t for your sacrifices, the government would be writing regulations, signing executive orders, and lying to us daily in German.

Might want to go read the whole thing.
