How can so many people hate Karl Rove?
Consider this, when Japanese folks say ‘Rove’ it sounds almost the same as when they say ‘love’. So to Japanese folks he’s really ‘Karl Love’.
I’ll be the first to admit his full name would be ‘Kall Love’, something they market on late night T.V.. This is not as wholesome or good but still contains the word ‘love’ at least.
People love Jennifer Love Hewitt, So can Karl really be as bad as they say since his name is love, sort of? Krazy.
That got me thinking about what songs go good with this?
“All You Need Is Rove” comes to mind. If you want liberals to get so outrageously nutty, legions of squirrels start swarming, all you need is Rove. I guess you also need liberals, though, and squirrels.
“Can’t Buy Me Rove” He’s not corruptable! I guess that’s enough Beatles songs though. They are/were such a bunch of swarmy hippies.
“When Rove Comes to Town” is good. And what do you think Rove will do when he gets to town? Outsmart liberals, thats what.
“The Power of Rove” from the “Back to the Future” soundtrack. But I can just almost see Force lightening coming from Karl’s stubby fingers when I think about the title, though. Maybe that one’s not too good.
Are there any Love>Rove songs I’ve missed that you can think of? No? Hah I win!

I know a few of you out there in IMAO land like the IMAO podcast But its pretty obvious that the vast majority, the endless hordes of you LOVE the podcast. There are several that actually want to go out with the IMAO podcast. Nothing serious, dinner, maybe a movie, and talk, just to see what develops.
Sadly the current state of technology won’t allow that to happen just yet.
HOWEVER if you, loyal IMAO reader, want to help the IMAO podcast get more traction and help your favorite bloggers/podcasters, you can. Wouldn’t you like for us to be able to quit our day jobs and deliver the funny full time? Man, I know I would.

Some have already been spreading the word and many have voted at podcastalley and believe me, we all appreciate it GREATLY.
We are absolutely NOT trying to keep this thing a secret!

I just ate lunch. A salisbury steak popsicle with mashed potatoes and brown gravy. It occured to me just how much strikingly better practically everything tastes when you smother it with gravy.
Lots and lots of thick gravy. Mmmmmm gravy.
Could we have endured Kerry as president if he were covered in gravy? Maybe but, I think Michael Moore (who was a shoe-in to be Kerry’s ambassador to the Hutts) would probably have eaten him. But hey, those are the breaks.
Gravy, it’s what’s for dinner.

I thought this on MightyRighty was pretty funny,

The French government announced early today that it has raised their terror alert level from “Run” to “Hide”. The only two higher terror alert levels in France are “Surrender” and “Collaborate”. The raise in the threat level was precipitated by a recent fire which destroyed France’s white flag factory, effectively disabling their military…

Hey kids! Its time to denigrate the overblog, again. Remember what fun it was back in 2004?
Yes that means, I am running the denigrate the overblog contest again over at my old haunt.

But what about the overblog? Who’s getting entirely too much traffic and just.doesn’t.deserve.it? Got any nominations? Rules are the same as the one for underblogs except backwards and this year, upside-down …or…something like that.

Who’ll get mad at me this year? Stick around over there and find out!
Hey, YOUR denigrating comments could be the straw that breaks the camel’s back!

Attention IMAO Fans!!
Consider the folowing:

• Would there be interest from ya’ll in a CD containing some or possible all of the podcasts to date?
• What if it also contained bonus content like from bits that were cut for length? Or maybe cut completely?
• What if it came with a bright colorful medium sized IMAO.US and/or IMAOpodcast.com sticker? Maybe with a Nuke the Moon logo on it?
• What if it was made of pure gold or platinum and instead of selling it outright we sold shares of it and periodically emailed you a photo of it so you could know it was in good shape?

Ok maybe that last one was just a tad off the wall but what do you say?
What would your interest in something like that be? What say ye?

Karl Rove’s crime apparently is that he is, in fact, unabashedly and admittedly Karl Rove.
I know, what was shocking and repugnant and utterly unthinkable only a few years ago now is a simple cold hard fact of nature.
But here we are a nation with a Karl Rove living among us. Living among those of us who live in the nation’s capital anyway.
He freely admits it. Hey, the man even answers to it.

Reporter: Karl Rove!
Karl Rove: What?
Reporter: Hah! Gotcha!
Karl Rove: What?
Reporter: You admitted it, you ARE Karl Rove. Hahaha. you are soooo busted.
Karl Rove: Yes, it true, I am Karl Rove.
Reporter: Hahaha You’re goin’ down now.
Karl Rove: But the question you need to ask yourself is how did Karl Rove get YOU to get ME to admit it?
Reporter: Hahaha–huh? Man! You’re evil.
Karl Rove: I’m Karl Rove.
Reporter: I believe that’s what I just said.

See? That’s all the evidence they’ll ever need to convict him.
Maybe if he changed his name they’d like him more. I’m thinking to something like maybe, Marx.

Are idiots.
When we hear them say stuff like how we should “take the storm seriously” and “get to safety!” then they turn around, go out into the wind and rain to capture live footage of the destruction, and tie ropes to their legs so they don’t fly away.
They tell us the rain feels like NEEDLES! What a bunch of loons.
You know I’d guess the last scenes most people see when they are killed in a hurricane are, I’m very sure, “unbelievable” and “incredible.”
Not the brightest folk, these storm reporters. Then again, I guess that’s why they are in cable news, instead of the real world.

And yes I lived and made it back safe, thanks.
Dying for details? Go here.

Frank has been blogging now for 3 years as of today.
So of course you are thinking, “Where’s my free ice cream?” CUT IT OUT!
You selfish free ice cream demanders need to stop, and step back for moment and think of Frank for a change. Think about his needs, desires and quest for world domination.
To paraphrase, John Kennedy, the Democrat responsible for U.S. involvement in Viet Nam,

Ask not what Frank can do for you.
Ask what you can do for Frank.

The answer is manyfold, varied and yes sundry. Actually that’s not the answer more of a description of the answer.
The real answer is of course to do things to help expand Frank’s reach, popularity, power and ultimately his pocketbook.

• Email 5 dozen someones you know, sending them a link to his blog with appropriate effusive praise.
• Email everyone you know and 20 people you don’t know a link to his podcast site also with similarly appropriate effusive praise.
• Give him money outright. A simple, direct approach, much like Frank himself. He’d appreciate that.
  
  
  
  
  
• Buy an IMAO t-shirt, sure it’s more selfish on your part than the donation but helps accomplish many of Frank’s goals.
• Pay attention to his his advertisers, do I really have to spell it out? C-l-i-c-k T-h-e-m.

Happy Blogiver$ary, Bo$$
Update: And you can vote for the podcast on Podcast Alley.

I’ve read some Brits’ (notably Ben’s) comments in earlier posts. I stand at attention to the steel of their resolve.
When newsmaking things happen in London like they have today, I invariably go to a couple of level headed, gun-owning Briton’s to get the what’s what. The Englishman at an Englishman’s Castle has no related post yet (I hope he’s ok).
But Mr Free Market at Free Market Fairy Tales addresses the spineless murdering scumbags with defiant, determined, and admirable prose. A piece of it here.

We will fight you on the streets of Basra and if you decide to come to London, we will fight you there.
All of Hitlers bombers and V weapons couldn’t daunt us, neither will you.

The rest of it here.
Update: Added Union Jack plus good news, the Englishman is ok.

Now we’ve shown the comets of our solar system that humans or at the very least American-humans mean business. We know and we have shown that we know what it takes when it comes to being able to hit them right smack where they live or, orbit.
With such a show of force out there for all the trouble makers in our celestial neighborhood to see, I truly doubt we see any more trouble out of their dirty snowballish kind for a good long while.
I mean sure, we’ve not been hit by a comet in recorded history. But still.
Wham! And you just know that comet was aching all day.
We totally kicked that comet’s ice. I mean we tore it a new a brand new ice hole, literally.
To the comets I say,
“Take that, stupid comets! Some call you Earth-crossers. Just you try and cross us! We’ve got more clothesdryers where that one came from. Millions more.”
