It has recently been estimated that the current U.S. tax code is about four times longer than the roughly one million word complete works of William Shakespeare.
I suppose the real question is, if monkeys with typewriters given enough time can compose all of Shakespeare’s works, can they also come up with the tax code…or is that actually how it was written in the first place?
Not that their inability to count or do simple math is really questionable at this point. Watch as the Democrats disregard a rather vocal number of delegates to amend their party platform…
Haha…silly Democrats.
Hey, and by the way, I just had a birthday. And you know what my parents got me for my birthday? That’s right! Amazon.com credit. What should I do with that?
I was thinking, maybe buy a book or something. I like books. But I am not sure what book to buy. I think I want a funny book. Maybe something with a lot of political satire in it. Does anyone know any like that out right now?
There have been plenty of anecdotal stories on attending this year’s Republican National Convention, and from most accounts it sounds like it was relatively fun…for a political convention. I still don’t think I’d want to go, but then if I had a reason to go I would probably enjoy it more. You know, like if I was a senator, I could walk around making people bow and kiss my ring. At least, I think that is what senators do.
Well, I was thinking: what would a day at the Democratic National Convention be like? Probably boring, but then hanging around some railroad tracks in the middle of nowhere is boring too…until there is a train wreck. And with that many Democrats and their nutty supporters in one place, there’s bound to be a few wrecks. So it could be interesting after all…

Yep. Sounds like a great time to me.
Washington, D.C. (NPN) – As the nation turned to various festivities and traditions on this Labor Day, from grilling food in the backyard and spending time with family, to remembering the hard work, ingenuity, and enterprise that it took to make this a great country, the President took part in a ceremony of his own, followed by a speech to commemorate the occasion.
 |
The ceremony began with the President laying a wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Job, and after a moment of silence for the many jobs lost, President Obama gave a short speech to mark the holiday.
“This day, Labor Day, is a day of remembrance of the many jobs that once made this country so great.” said the President. “For without them, we would not have had the peace and prosperity that we so enjoyed before. It is important on a day like this, a national holiday, to remember those many jobs that were saved or created, shovel ready or not so ready, public union or private union, green or kind of green, and all the rest that keep at least some of America working and paying taxes to me.”
“And it is especially important to honor the unbroken unemployment lines, and also the unbroken line of fallen jobs.” the President said. “I see many of them out here today. It is with their continued sacrifice that my dreams of a different kind of America will be made possible. We may mourn their loss, but keep looking forward to the future I am bringing you to.”
After the speech, the White House hosted a special lunch with national union leaders. During this, one of the union leaders, Larry Greer, gave a short speech of his own.
“On behalf of the many labor unions in the nation,” said Greer, “I would like to thank President Obama for his continued efforts in helping organized labor regain its grip on power over evil businesses and the people in general. If it were not for his tireless work to destroy as many non-union jobs as possible, we would simply have faded away with time.”
The speech was met with cheers and toasts in the President’s honor.
In other news, a job from California that was reported missing last month has turned up in the port city of Pinghu, China. Chinese officials have granted the job full asylum, as has been their policy for the last several years while more and more jobs continue to self-exile themselves from the United States.
It looks like Mitt Romney pulled a fast one on the Obama campaign. He has decided to go straight on to Louisiana to meet Governor Bobby Jindal and check on the storm-damaged areas on the coast. When the Obama team heard this, they scrambled to change their plans and get Obama to Louisiana by Monday.
From the Daily Mail:
‘In light of the President’s travel to Louisiana to meet with local officials and view ongoing response and recovery efforts to Hurricane Isaac, President Obama will no longer travel to Cleveland, Ohio on Monday, September 3,’ the campaign said in a terse statement.
That’s right Mr. President. Your leisurley golf-course pace is over. You’re on Romney time now.
The “Chief Diversity Officer” of the U.S. State Department was so concerned about people saying racist things, that he felt it was his duty to find a way to connect just about every phrase in the American vernacular to how it might in fact be racist.
For example, “hold down the fort” is apparently racist towards Native Americans, because it has something to do with forts protecting people from them in the old days. And as we all know, there was no such thing as a fort prior to white Europeans building them in America to steal Indian lands.
So, what other words or phrases might we be using that could be racist?
Fellow nuker FormerHostage (High Praise!) got a head start on this in his comments today:
Skillet -> cast iron -> black -> RACIST!
Dinosaurs -> giant lizards -> rhymes with wizard -> Grand Wizard -> RACISTS!
Recently in an interview, controversial film maker and big fat dummy Michael Moore predicted that Mitt Romney will win the election. He lamented the fact that young people aren’t excited about Obama any more like they were in 2008 and probably won’t get out of bed to vote. He also said something about Republicans riding dinosaurs, which gives them a clear advantage.
In other news, seismologists are using Science! to try and locate where on the planet Michael Moore is at any given moment, as this may be the key to predicting earthquakes.
Remember that Chinook helicopter that went down in Afghanistan last year and killed 30 Americans?
Well apparently Obama decided to follow tradition as president and send the families of the fallen letters expressing his condolences and such. You know, personal letters signed by the president. It’s not much, but at least it is a little something. Right?
From Gateway Pundit:
Their letters were all the same.
Form letters – signed by an electric pen.
Classy. I’m surprised Obama didn’t also send a photo of himself with the letters.
Check out the link for shiny pictures and the full story.
Washington, D.C. (NPN) – On the heels of the recently published results of a ground-breaking research project linking the use of marijuana, or “choom”, to the development of rampant idiocy in its users, some groups are beginning to question the “Choomer-in-Chief” himself, President Obama.
 |
“All we want to know is, how much of this stuff did he use?” said Brian Goldberg, a senior fellow for the Center of Political Scrutiny. “I think the American people have a right to know just how much the President’s brain has been affected by this horrible drug, preferably before they decide whether to reelect him or not.”
While most groups agree that it is sufficient for the American people to know just to what extent the President subjected himself to reefer madness in his youth, others are claiming it simply isn’t enough, and that there is a more important question that needs to be addressed by the Obama administration.
One such group, Citizens for Open Choom Dialogue, wants to know more about the President’s supposed “Choom Gang”.
“You have to look at this objectively.” said Robert Fullerton, the group’s founder and chairman. “It isn’t enough to know how much choom the President subjected himself to, because as idiotic as his policies are, he still seems relatively functional for an incompetent moron. What we need to know is, who else from his choom gang is serving in our government?”
Reading from a list of suspected individuals, Fullerton and his group are most concerned about a specific person: Vice President Joe Biden.
“Think about it. Is there a more idiotic person in the higher levels of government?” said Fullerton. “Why would anyone purposely select Biden as their Vice President, knowing full well that the man is a complete and utter moron?”
“I’ll tell you why.” he declared. “It’s the choom. Joe Biden was or still is a member of this “choom gang”, and that is why the President selected him as his VP.”
The group has been pressuring the White House to either admit to these accusations, or to show proof otherwise, requesting a list of the Choom Gang membership from President Obama. When asked about it at a recent White House press briefing, Press Secretary Jay Carney made the following statement:
“Look, ah, this is just another type of birtherism.” said Carney, while beginning to foam at the mouth, as he is wont to do. “These “choomers”, that’s, uh, c-h-o-o-m-e-r-s, these choomers are just the same crazy people that want the President to submit yet another document that is irrelevant. They wanted the same thing as with other irrelevant documents such as his birth certificate, his school records, and those silly Fast and Furious documents. Frankly, none of this creates jobs. It’s about the jobs people. And the children.”
And with that, Jay Carney disappeared in a puff of smoke.
An official statement released afterwards from the White House declared, somewhat ambiguously, that Vice President Biden was never a local member of the original Choom Gang of Obama’s school years. Whether or not a current choom gang still exists and if Joe Biden is a member of it was not addressed.
Other “choomers” are starting to pressure the President to release a list.
“It’s simple, either Biden was, or he wasn’t a choom gang member.” said Donald Trump during a recent episode of The View. “Why is this such a big deal? What is the President hiding? I’m not saying Biden was, or is a choom gang member. But we all know he is, in fact, a flaming idiot. So that brings up the obvious question, of his, er, his membership in this choom club thing. Why won’t Obama just answer the question and put this thing to rest? Just release this Choom Gang list, Mr. President!”
NPN sought out Trump for additional remarks, but following his initial statement on The View, Joy Bahar attacked him with a chair and he was unavailable for comment while recovering.

IMAO ace reporter Ghengis Khen [High Praise!] contributed to this story.
There is a report floating around on the interwebs that scientists, using Science! have succeeded in hacking a person’s brain and retrieving information from it. As scary as that sounds, the procedure is still in its infancy, and requires a lot of brain activity to pick up on.
Regardless of this little problem, which I am sure Science! will fix eventually, I can foresee such a brain-hacking of an important person. Say…Joe Biden for instance. That would be interesting. So, of course, I had to think to myself what might be retrieved from Mr. Biden’s brain in such an experiment…

With the permission of Harvey and in humble homage to his Fun Facts About the 50 States , I think it is high time that we look at some fun facts about the state of Oiho….
__________________
* Oiho became the 58th state on August 21, 2012 by executive order of President Obama, despite calls for the contrary by residents of the 57th state of North Virginia Carolina.
* The state flower of Oiho is the Corpse Flower, and is dedicated to the memory of the Navy corpsemen from Oiho that fought in past wars.
* A large number of Corpsemen come from Oiho, and represent an important voting bloc for the Democratic Party.
* While the ambulance was invented in Ohio, the method of writing “AMBULANCE” backwards on the front of the vehicle was invented in Oiho as a means of confusing lawyers approaching it from the front.
 |
* Doctors at the Oiho State University Medical Center were the first to perfect the method of testing kids for asthma using a breathalyzer.
* It is now state law in Oiho that erratic drivers be pulled over and administered an asthma test by police.
* The state is named “Oiho” which is a Native American Warren tribe word for “You didn’t build that teepee”.
* Oiho State University is the largest school in the state. The football team is named the Oiho State Buckets.
* The mascot of the Oiho State Football Team is a man in a suit wearing a bucket on his head.
* The fans also usually wear buckets on their heads to support the team, but have trouble following the games this way.

UPDATE: Linked at Legal Insurrection.
So the latest polls are showing that Romney and Obama are “neck and neck”. Ignoring how ridiculous it sounds for those two guys to be necking, it seems quite ridiculous to me that this could even be the case.
I mean, Obama is like the worst president ever, in the history of everything. Even Jimmy Carter wasn’t as bad as Obama, if only because Carter couldn’t get away with as much crap as Obama can in the new progressive era. And by new progressive era, I mean an era where people are willing to ignore how bad things are if they get some free stuff.
It took generations to get people to this point where they are so willfully ignorant of what happens when a government trades your very freedom for some free stuff. And that free stuff isn’t even that good. I mean…food stamps? You won’t be eating high off the hog with those. And welfare and unemployment aren’t really great paychecks.
And does anyone really want to put their health in the hands of Medcaid? Where you get government-prescribed treatment and no second opinons? Do so many people actually choose this way to live? I’m not so sure.
I’m a big time fan of America. I’m such a fan, I even served in two branches of the military. Ok, yeah, they let me play with really cool weapons, so that was probably the number one reason. But still, I am a big fan of America. And as a fan, I refuse to believe that something close to 50 percent of my fellow Americans are either idiots or nincompoops. Because that is what these polls suggest. Is there any questions that Obama has been a horrible president? I’d love to hear an actual argument to the contrary.
You won’t hear such an argument out of the left…they are too busy telling us that Romney commits murder-cancer and Ryan likes to throw old people off of cliffs to actually defend their own president’s record.
So what’s the deal? I have a theory! And it has nothing to do with shady pollsters, because there are some pretty good pollsters giving the same results. My theory is that there is a new computer virus on the loose. Created by the left. What this virus does is infect computers that it targets, specifically those of pollsters, and confuses their mathematics capabilities.
Who better to create such a virus than people who can’t even do simple addition and subtraction. Like, if you take money from business owners, they will have more money to hire more people. Only the left could get that result. Or, if we spend more, we will reduce the deficit. Again, only leftist mathematics can prove that theory.
I think I am on to something here. This is the only way polls can be telling us that there are as many people willing to reelect the worst president in history over an inanimate carbon rod, much less a former governor and businessman in an economic recession. I think it goes something like this:
Pollster: “Hello, I would like to ask you if you are planning to vote for Obama or Romney?”
Sample Person 1: “Obama? Obama!?! Are you kidding me? That guy is a complete stuttering catastrophe of a miserable failure. I am voting Romney!”
Polling computer: IF mention obama THEN add=1 vote for obama.
Sample Person #2: “I wish Obama would self-exile himself. I am voting Romney.”
Polling computer: add=2 vote for obama.
Sample Person #3: “I like unicorns.”
Polling Computer: IF mention unicorns THEN add=256 vote for obama.
I don’t know for sure if this is true, but this might be a sample of leftist logic in virus form. I call it the stuxwithobamanet virus.
Our dear president is in a bit of a pickle, and it really boggles the mind how this could have even happened. You see, his opponent, Mitt Romney…that guy who is well known for murdering people with cancer, taking one-way trips with dogs on his car, and outsourcing jobs because it creates more poor people he can laugh at…has been out-doing Obama in fundraising. To the tune of over $60 million dollars! That’s right! Sixty! With, like, a million zeroes behind it, or something.

Well, it’s a lot, and Obama isn’t too happy about it. He’s putting on a good show, of course, acting like everything is copacetic, and assuring us all that he will really stick it to the rich when he gets re-elected. Which is the important issue, no doubt. Those filthy devil-spawn rich people need a good sticking to, because it grows the economy and provides jobs and makes roads and bridges.
See, people can only give so much money to a campaign directly. Something like, $10 I think. Plus that dollar you can give on your taxes. So that is..umm..17 dollars I guess. So, the average ordinary Julia, who really loves Obama by the way, can only give 17 dollars straight to Obama. Which is really unfair, but those are the rules that the rich Republicans made to keep Democrats down. So, to raise money, Obama has to host dinners, clown shows starring Joe Biden, and things like that. And it costs like, one-hundred-eleventy dollars to get into these kinds of things, which the average Julia doesn’t have.
So Obama needs rich people with that many elevens of dollars to pay for a plate of catered food from some guy who didn’t build his business anyway. Which is only fair, because at least three of those elevens of dollars go not to the processed mashed potatoes, but to Obama’s campaign. They do important stuff with this money. Like making new commercials about how evil Romney is, and how he once traded his soul to the Devil to become a famous singer, and when that didn’t pan out, he owed the Devil three souls, and so he sold orphans’ souls to the Devil. Or to bumping four hours of tee times to get the president into an exclusive course during his campaign tour. Important campaign stuff like that.
So, like I said, that leaves rich people to help Obama get all of this money he needs to stay as president. But, as we all know, rich people are evil, and evil people are pretty much dumb. They don’t realize how much richer they will get when Obama raises their taxes to one-hundred-eleventy percent. Because this will stimulate the economy, and make more jobs, and then rich people will get richer. Even though the middle class will get even richer than the rich people are, and the poor will actually inherit the Earth. I read that somewhere.
But rich people, being evil and dumb like they are, just won’t pay to eat dinner with Obama, because they are against him fixing the economy. And they won’t pay to see Joe Biden act like a clown either. But that is probably because you can see that for free on the news every night. Maybe that is what the Obama campaign is doing wrong. If you could only see Biden do his clown routine in private, and charge for it, maybe then Obama could get rich people to pay, even grudgingly.
I should write the Obama campaign now and tell them I figured out how they can raise money.
R’lyeh, South Pacific (NPN) – Potential presidential candidate Cthulhu has made it official: he has decided not to run as a third party “greater of evils” option in this year’s U.S. Presidential race.
The Dread god is sitting this one out.
“I just don’t see the point,” a somber Cthulhu said. “I mean, my platform has always been the total and utter destruction and subjugation of the human race, starting with the United States. But this year, there is already a candidate who can help accomplish these things.”
Cthulhu worries that running for president could jeopardize the Obama campaign by stealing votes from the misanthropic and nihilist segments of the Democrat base, which are sizable, but not enough to win an election on.
“The worst thing that can happen here, is that people select the lesser of evils, Mitt Romney. I just can’t be party to that, when I am such an outspoken proponent of the greater of evils in an election.” said Cthulhu, while eating one of our reporters. “Mmm nom nom, um, if Obama keeps up what he is doing, burrrrrp, then I could take the election in 2016, and the United States will be so broken by then, it will be child’s play to finish the work I intend to do.”
In other news, while it was speculated that General Zod would also enter the race again, very little has been heard out of his camp. Zod himself was unavailable for comment when asked about it, but a spokesperson did respond to NPN’s inquest.
“The General has not made a decision on whether he will run this year, or, more likely, simply take over the world.” said the Zod spokesperson. “Kneel before Zod.”
[We’re giving Keln of Nuking Politics a chance to impress you by letting him try his hand at guest-posting at IMAO. Shower him with bacon or tofu in the comments as appropriate.]
So Romney came out today and told everyone that he has, in fact, paid his taxes for the past 10 years, and then he said that Harry Reid should now reveal his mysterious source. But as we all know, anonymous sources are anonymous for a reason. Usually because they might lose their position or job, or maybe even get targeted for an old gangster-style whacking. In Reid’s case, it is more likely that he doesn’t want anyone to know that he gets his tips from his imaginary friend, Koko the giant sock monkey.
But, that whole business is really irrelevant, and Romney and Ryan seem to understand that, which is why they are starting to whip out the white boards and do math in front of a live audience. It sounds risky…doing actual math in front of people during a campaign. I mean, math for most people is a real buzz-kill. Especially for people on the left. Math is too objective for them to really “dig”. They might like imaginary numbers though.
See, Romney, who is Mr. Business, and Ryan, who is Mr. Numbers, are kinda like those nerds in high school that were on the debate team, the glee club, and worst of all, the Math Team. It doesn’t get nerdier than that folks. And Obama is like, Mr. Cool. He can’t really add 2 +2, and doesn’t even know how many states there are, but he is cool, man. The mom jeans moment notwithstanding.
I guess that makes the American public like, high school kids or something. It’s just natural to say “haha, Romney is a dork.”, and stuff him in a locker with Harry Reid and his sock monkey when you’re too cool for school. But it’s all fun and games until…the big math exam comes up.
Then what happens? Can the cool kids save you then? Nope. That’s when you start letting the dorks sit with you at the lunch table in exchange for some study help for that big math test. Because, you’re too cool to know how to do math. And the school Quarterback, Obama…well he doesn’t know anything about math either. He’ll still pick on you for sitting with the dorks, but he’s going to fail his math test.
Maybe if we’re lucky, he’ll get kicked off the football team too.
