What if Words Actually, You Know, MEANT Things?

[High Praise! to Hope n’ Change Cartoons]

HHS Secretary Kathleen Sibelius finds herself in the increasingly blazing spotlight, being forced to put on a smiley face about the healthcare disaster she is directly responsible for. But General Sibelius isn’t standing down (as many are now calling for). Rather, she’s proclaimed “I called on the contractor to get its A-team here and give us 150%.”

In other words, she’s demanding 50% more from her people than is logically, humanly, or mathematically possible. Which makes Hope n’ Change wonder – how many of the other components of Obamacare are required to function at 150%, 500%, or a trillion-jillion% over what is actually possible?

Link of the Day: Forget the Pledge of Allegiance, Recite THIS Every Day

[High Praise! to Proufoundly Disconnected]

“The S.W.E.A.T. Pledge” (Skill & Work Ethic Aren’t Taboo)

When *I* read this, I think “this is so obvious and non-controversial, why would this even need to be written down?”

Then I remember… “liberals”.

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


Kris, for his fanatical devotion to 50’s Sci-Fi movies.


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.
