I always knew the tornado chasers looked a little too squirrelly for their own good.
Sometimes, you just need a hefty dose of mockery, laced with some out and out snark.
And Fridays are the perfect day to share it, aren’t they?
Enjoy. Bless you, people at The Onion. Bless you.
Best idea I’ve seen in ages:
I heard a friend suggest that our congress people be required to wear NASCAR uniforms bearing the logos of their “sponsors”. Of course, it would be a lot of logos for some of them, so maybe only the logos of the top ten or fifteen “sponsors”. Anybody here good with Photoshop? Maybe start with the senate since there’s only a 100 of them?
Oh please, please, please let’s come up with a way to do this. It would be such a crazy hoot.
In fact, who would be the first one you’d want to see?
I’m picking Steny Hoyer, just for shits and giggles. Apple red satin, gold piping and a backdrop of small greenbacks up the sleeves, just for kicks.
Or maybe a line of bobblehead dolls with matching collection plates and black tie fundraiser ensemble packs.
Because there is so much money in politics, wouldn’t it be nice to have visual aids? Especially some really tacky ones which get the point right across for all the world to see.
So many possibilities, so much time to play with them.
I just know that people can come up with something way, way better. Can’t wait to read.
UPDATE: I got some links to a couple of places where the "candidate logo" has been done before. From the 2008 presidential campaign, it’s not the best of looks for McCain and Obama. And another from way back in 2006. Still funny, though — and ripe for better graphics, if you ask me. (more…)
The appointment of Maria Sotomayor for the Supreme Court is the clearest indication yet that President Obama’s campaign promises to be a centrist and think in a bipartisan way were mere rhetoric. Sotomayor comes from the far left and will likely leave us with something akin to the "Extreme Court" that could mark a major shift.
Did they employ some SNL reject to write this up? Because it certainly reads like a badly scripted skit. "Extreme Court." Oh, that’s a good one. Burn.
*cough*
Or do you think the "they are all named Maria, aren’t they" slippage was just a typo?
Laughter. It really is the best medicine. (more…)
Because I couldn’t let the last day of the Pajamas Media network as we knew it pass without a proper send-off.
Nope…no GOP budget numbers over here. But there is a hefty helping of GOP finger-pointing, ducking of responsibility and disarray:The problem — their budget rollout didn’t contain any hard budget numbers or deficit projections. They say those hard numbers will come out next week…
In the words of an SEC civil filing against Bernie Madoff’s accountant, David Frehling: “In addition, the S.E.C. filed a civil enforcement action alleging that Mr. Friehling “did not perform anything remotely resembling an audit” of Mr. Madoff’s operation.” Ouch. But I think that could be tweaked a bit for the current “no numbers needed” GOP super-awesome alternative budget proposal
This is one of those “when a tree falls in a forest” sorts of questions, I suppose. Because, frankly, I grow weary of the “I know you are, but what am I?” level of retort from the self-same bozos who lambasted anyone who dared question the mispronunciation of nuke-u-lar as unpatriotic communism.
I mean, hell, David Letterman is able to encapsulate “the stupid, it burns” in a mere matter
