Raising the Question: Are These the Creators of HealthCare.gov?
Generally describable as “Worst. Promotional video. Ever.”
And yes, these folks really, truly thought this video was a good idea.
They’re So Relatable
Bill Clinton defended Hillary, saying she’s “not out of touch” because “we go to our local grocery store on weekends.”
Yes, just like any normal person on the way home from a 6-figure speaking engagement.

Wisdom of the Day: Fist Murder Shell Young Germany
Whatever bro. I'll let my fists do the talking.
*makes fist, moves thumb like mouth*
"(high pitched) Please don't beat up my friend, Matt"

They say an icicle is the perfect murder weapon uh thanks but I'll stick with my bejeweled, custom made hammer with "MURDER" embossed on it.

Girl even when you red shell me, a part of me is still happy for your success

Uhh coach?
*mask falls off*
*coach is hitler*

Just Do the Job You Already Have, Please
Democrat Senator Ed Markey proposed establishing a special envoy at the State Department to coordinate America’s “global response” on lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender issues.
That’s not what State is for. If they ever get their own country, State can give ’em an embassy.
Obama Warned Us – Getting a Raise
“More than 450,000 of your neighbors are poised to get a raise.” —President Obama on Minnesota raising the minimum wage #RaiseTheWage
@BarackObama
“Oh… and a bunch are also getting priced out of the job market and into unemployment. That’s cool, too, right?”
Straight Line of the Day: Google Glass Has Added a New Feature to It’s Wearable Computer…
(From a suggestion by Anonymiss of Nuking Politics [High Praise!])
Works like this: I feed you Moon Nukers a straight line, and you hit me with a punch line in the comments.
Google Glass has added a new feature to its wearable computer…

This week’s uncaptioned picture for you to play with – not sure which way is easier to caption, so I’m including both for your convenience:
Optional suggested theme: what Obama says when he talks in his sleep…
To Hatless in Hattiesburg for being seduced by the Dark Side of Jim Henson, and to Kris for knowing the gesture that accompanies that line.
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.
Random Thoughts: Israel, Minecraft, and World Cup
I’m guessing hearing about the GOP Convention was the tipping point for LeBron.
People are firing missiles into Israel and there is some sort of debate whether to murder the crap out of those people? I don’t get that.
If people are firing missiles into your country, it’s irresponsible to not murder the crap out of them.
Minecraft for iOS finally got the infinite worlds update. I had no interest in it without that.
I bought Minecraft for PC back when it was in alpha. Tell today’s kids that and they’ll act like you worked on the Apollo missions.
Once on a plane I sat next to a guy who worked on the Apollo missions (the unused escape system). That was awesome.
If Palestinians hunted down and murdered the crap out of people firing rockets at Israel, Israel wouldn’t have to.
What’s the best case scenario the guys firing rockets at Israel are hoping for? They’ll hit weak spot and it’ll blow up like the Death Star?
Finally listened to the song “MacArthur Park.” It is unbelievably awful. Could only get through two instances of the chorus.
I don’t care how long they took to bake it; I could not take it.
How in the world did that hit number 2 in the late 60s? Drugs doesn’t even explain it.
I just can’t imagine any state of mind where I could take that song seriously.
Wait, the guy singing that awful MacArthur Park song is Dumbledore? Man, that song baffles me on so many levels.
We’re to the best teams of the World Cup, so we’re now watching the very best players not score goals.
That was the last game of the World Cup? But I wasn’t done making fun of soccer!
Whoops. I got kickboxing confused with box-kicking. I’m a champion box-kicker.
Realized I need to hunt down original edition of Star Wars movies before daughter old enough to watch them or she’ll never hear “Yub Nub.”
So… What’s the Overstatement?
Republican Congresswoman Michele Bachmann said “here’s the understatement of the year: The United States border is not secure”.
Huh. I thought it was “the government tracks your emails better than theirs”.
