Weird soundbites coming out of this campaign.
Like this oddball statement from the First Lady:
[Michelle] Obama closed by asking the audience three times, “Are you in?”
“Because I am so in,” she said over the applause. “We have an amazing story to tell. This president has brought us out of the dark and into the light.”
Now generally that’s a metaphor for something GOOD happening to you, but given Barack’s unmitigated record of disaster, it can’t possibly be true in this case. So maybe she meant it like:
______________
 |
1) The obvious death-metaphor of “walking toward the light.”
2) Train tunnel. Train coming. Obama likes trains.
3) Sunny, breezy, summer day. The roof of your house blows off.
4) Meditating with a single candle. Your curtains catch on fire.
5) Sleeping peacefully at 3am, the EPA exercises a no-knock warrant by throwing a flash-grenade through your window to remind you to use compact fluorescent bulbs.
6) You’re an old-school vampire and your name’s not Blade.
7) “You develop your own film? Cool! Let’s have a look at what’s soaking in the tray!” [click]
8) Out parking with your best girl and Officer McNosy puts 1500 lumens into your eyes.
9) Anyone remember the end of “Stalag 17”?
10) Oh look! Cyclops took his visor off!

Well, it all worked out OK for Joan of Arc, right?
“This president has brought us out of the dark and into the light.”
I’m guessing she was addressing an assembly of her fellow socialists.
Michelle closed by asking the audience three times “Are you in?”
Moochie is channeling her inner Jim Morrison? Was she listening to a boot of a Doors live show where Jim goes “Is everybody in? The Ceremony is about to begin…” I thought that the whole 60s music thing was the stuff of the Clintons. Shouldn’t Moochie be channelling her inner Courtney Love? Alannis Morrissette? Joan Jett mebbe?
The light is the flames of Hell.
Crap did I say that out-loud?
He brought us from dark to light the fun way: Flashlight tag! Woot!
…and Obama’s 2012 campaign song will obviously be:
How much is that doggie in the window (arf, arf)
The one with the waggley tail
How much is that doggie in the window (arf, arf)
I do hope that doggie’s for sale
…
“Officer McNosy”
Hehe.
Any time I see “Mc” in front of a name I automatically think of our also-ran friend who reached across the aisle landing in Kennedy’s junk – over – and over – and over – and over – and over….
Perhaps she means she and her fellow cockroaches. In that case, she’s correct. They’ve been dragged out from behind the wall into the light.
This dog tastes just like chicken! — President Obama
I assume she meant “us” the way Eric Holder meant “my people”.
“The better to see you with my darling”
Harvey wins the coveted, “Veeshir’s Thumbs Up” for today with a totally awesome Stalag 17 reference.
Especially when you could have used an “In the Army now”/Pauly Shore ‘paint the target’ reference instead.
It also crossed my mind to quote Simon Tam saying “light it”.
[Firefly, episode 5, “Safe”]
Don’t go into the light!

Stalag 17? Try watching “Kanal” http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0050585/
I forgot “C.H.U.D.”

We are so in. . . . DEBT.
