No matter
No matter how hard he tries, John McCain just can’t distance himself from Bush.

Okay, this one’s funny no matter who you’re voting for.
Agreed!
We need more like it.
roflroflroflroflrofl
In the finest tradition of Gary Larsen!!
LOL!!
NOOOOO!!!
Chaos Turtle!! Why did you delete this LOL? I wanted to add it to my favorites…
*sad face*
You can still save it to your hard drive.
I didn’t delete it…. It must be part of the conspiracy, man.
Totally weird.
LOL. More McCain LOLs like this please?
I’m still smiling about it.
How about ANY Obama LOL’s ?
Yeah, okay, its kinda funny. But seriously, can this site get any more one-sided. The last lol that even remotely made fun of Obama was 14 pages ago.
This lol is not making fun of McCain, it is making fun of people making fun of McCain.
I don’t mind that it makes fun of McCain or not. My point was that I went back almost 3 weeks on here just to find a lol remotely making fun of Obama. So why is that? Is there a drought of Obama lols? Kinda doubt it.
This one is making fun of McCain just as much the ‘robot’ Obama picture from the 8th
Oh. You mean the one that says “By popular demand. Obama does “The Robot”. There was much rejoicing”. And that is making fun of him as much as this one where McCain is talking to some shrubs. Riiiight. The majority of Obama lols, and there aren’t that many, make Obama look like a bad-ass.
You’re allowed to make fun of his ears.
OK here’s one:
OH BOY! My man Obama gunna be first Brutha to has sex in the Oval Office!
And maybe while he doing it, Michelle and I can be banging in the Lincoln Bedroom. She be yellin’ “Free the Slaves Baby!” Oooh Yeah!
Best I can do. Sorry. no pictures available at this time. But Just Imagine the gal pullin’ on his them Big EARS! :O
Hur hur, racist lols r funneh.
Not funny at all.
That appears to be the issue here ema. So far the only remotely funny
lols about Obama have been either borderline racist, or “smack you
in the face with a halibut” racist. The problem appears to be that the
folks with sense, and a sense of humor (such as yourself) Dont make
any lols. Which you should. Regardless of whether you think they’ll
make it to the front page or not.
The funny Obama lols, I havent voted for, and they’re have been some
VERY funny ones that dont involve race or his ears(The hotdog/gay vote
lol for instance). It pleases me to see these things, because I like to
laugh, regardless of who’s on the butt of the joke.
So please… I beg of you, all of you: Make some funny lols about Obama
that dont involve race. Race is a stupid enough issue in this election
there’s no need to make lols of it, because its laughable as is.
One of the funnier Obama ones I’ve seen is the “mind if we dance wif yo dates?” caption. I can see where some people think that’s about race, but it’s a quote from a damn fine movie, people.
Oh god yes! Im tempted to find a good picture to use
“Oh boys, lookie what I got”
“Hey! Where da white women at?”
Im sure most folks know EXACTLY where this came from. And
sadly, the situation fits perfectly.. Only… the economy is mongo.
Our economy is only pawn in game of life? (And straight. Don’t forget that t part of Mongo.)
I’ve seen someone do the “where da white women at” but it wasn’t all that funny with the pic it was on. You need one of Biden and Obama for that one to work well.
Exactly. Im awaiting the right picture to inspire me to come up
with the side splitting, knock em dead funny caption. If you lolbuil
them, they will come.
Why is making fun of his ears equal racist?
First “brutha” to have sex in the oval office?
I would say just the first president to have sex in the oval office or any part of the white house.
With his wife, anyway.
That’s Below the belt!! i mean…that’s if i remember my anatomy lessons correctly…
*sigh*
The Obama – Robot one was silly, combining geeky dancing with Monty Python. That’ll get you laid on a Saturday night.
This one exaggerates the Democrats position that McCain can’t go anywhere without Bush hovering around him like the infamous albatross; Obama’s tactic has been to claim McCain as the 3rd Bush term, and John Sydney McCain has subsequently been distancing himself from W. This LOL is hyperbole of that accusation.
“John Sydney McCain” – lol! No far using middle name!!
*fair* dammit!
He needs to explain his middle name! After all, Sydney is a town in Australia, and Australia was founded by criminals. What does that say about McCain?!
It’s troubling! I agree…
In bed.
Um…that he has an immunity to iocaine powder?
There goes my cunning plan to make a deal for sex with Palin…
inconceivable!
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means…
[/Inigo Montoya]
she’s obviously not inconceivable. nor is her daughter
In the word’s of the intellectual Larry The Cable Guy
Thats funny right there, I dont care who ya’ are!
Their fields are very fertile. Plow them well… Or carefully… Or both.
It’s because this blog is a ‘democracy’. I make plenty of Obie LOLz, suspect others do as well, but the viewership here is strongly left-biased. (The forum itself is more balanced.) Anyway, a simple majority sees to it that LOLz critical of BHO or the left in general do not see the light of day.
I guess in order to defeat the librals here I will use the ACORN tactic of using fake votes. I’ll just make a hundred accounts and use them to vote on Obama lols.
Dude, if you have the time for that, go for it.
Actually, I don’t. It was a joke.
If you’re gonna do that, at least do it in a positive way. Make GOOD LOLz about conservatives and vote FOR them. (Like the one I made about MLK, just came up on the radar.)
Well, yeah, and vote against the really vile and hateful “Republicans/conservatives are stupid/evil/greedy/(pejorative of choice)” lefty trash.
Just so you know, I vote down the banal anti-Repub LOLs as much as I do the anti-Dem LOLs.
And your MLK one reminded me of the billboards hung in Denver for the DNC “MLK was a Republican”. Somebody tagged one “Honk if you were too”. Seriously, though, the guy was pro-civil rights, a community organizer, anti-war (which is likely what got him killed), and very much pro-universal health care. I don’t think these are the same values of the Republican Party these days. I’m willing to be made wrong, though.
I’d love to discuss this with you at length; it bears detailing. If you want to see where I’d be coming from, check out the following links. Note that the first is written by a niece of MLK.

I thought about using the tag ‘community organizer’ in my LOL, but distilled it down to fairly neutral ones taken from online bios. I class MLK as a pacifist, as opposed to “antiwar”. Perhaps too subtle a distinction, but if we assume that there was a conspiracy to assassinate him (I tend not to go there, that way lies madness), it was likely based on the people who surrounded him and the fringe groups they represented–just as radical as Bill Ayers and his bunch. (In fact, Stalin would have called them “fellow travelers”.)
Perhaps we should find a way to communicate outside of the forum; OTOH, others might benefit from the discussion as well. Though we clearly disagree on certain viewpoints, I think you and I have made a breakthrough. Yay, us!
My Obama LOL’s don’t even get to the vote page anymore– in fact, NONE do !
Obama hasn’t won and we’ve already got censorship.
I ran through the vote page earlier: an insipid number of “Sarah is stupid LOL!”, a few about McCain not getting it, and a healthy number implying the gayness between Joe and Barack. (Which I voted for, because they were funny)
It’s not censoring; it’s taking a cross-section of those LOLs made. Maybe the site managers pick at random, maybe they cherry-pick the ones they feel funniest. Honestly, I’m inclined to believe it’s a luck-of-the-draw algorithm controlling what makes it to the votes page. What I don’t believe, however, is that a memmber of the Obama team reviews these pictures and prevents the ones anti-Barack to be posted.
I’m pretty sure there is a great deal of human interference, it’s not an algorithm because eventually an Obama lol would get on the front page if it were.
It would still require a number of votes to get there though and if there isn’t enough, I think that is where the human element comes in.
Obama LOLs do make it to the voting page, and even the front page, but not in recent days.
I find it difficult to imagine that there is so much human interference with the Joebama LOLs, but somehow ignoring the ones where the captioning doesn’t fit the screen.
I could argue about MLK’s position on war specifically as it related to Vietnam, but somehow the idea of arguing about a pacifist seems… not right.
Instead I will spend a few minutes reflecting on how I miss decent mench politicians like (Republican) Eisenhower.
Just so you know, I vote down the banal anti-Repub LOLs as much as I do the anti-Dem LOLs.
So do I. If it is dumb, it gets a fail, regardless of political leaning. I’ve been using that button a lot lately.
*yawn* Boring. What else ya got?
I will use the Nevada state tactic of not reading the cover sheets ACORN attatched to each vote that did not meet quality control standards then blame them for dropping the ball.
Every ACORN registration received a call back at the number provided and the information was verified. If an employee did not complete the paper work correctly or if a registrant filled out the form falsely a cover sheet is attatched to that registration card. BY LAW they have to turn in the forms even if they suspect the forms are inaccurate. They do NOT by law have to put the cover sheet on the ones they are unsure of but they do anyway as a service to the state they are working in. The state then has the responsibility to verify or reject those forms.The cries of ACORN illegality are the death rattle of the republican party trying to play Kennedy/Nixon games so they can claim the election was stolen when they lose.
vote should be “voter registration card”
Bullcrap.
“In 2006, ACORN also committed what Washington Secretary of State Sam Reed called the “worse case of election fraud” in the state’s history.
In the case, ACORN submitted just over 1,800 new voter registration forms, and all but six of the 1,800 names were fake.
More recently, 27,000 registrations handled by the group from January to July 2008 “went into limbo because they were incomplete, inaccurate, or fraudulent,” said James Terry, chief public advocate at the Consumers Rights League.”
If you don’t like the source, you can get it from the Las Vegas paper, too.
http: elections.foxnews.com/2008/10/07/acorn-vegas-office-raided-voter-fraud-investigation/
Here’s a link to an ACORN fact sheet. Basically, they are required to submit all the applications they get, even the ones that they know are problematic. In most cases, they attach a cover sheet to the problematic ones explaining the problem. This whole thing is just more desperate flailing from McCain and the RNC.
marcambinder.theatlantic.com/archives/2008/10/acorn_rallies_its_troops.php
Yeh, yeh, yeh. The fox does a great job of guarding the chickens.
Pls–really–read the entire article linked above. It is actually about ireegularities encountered only a week ago in Las Vegas.
At the very least, ACORN’s requirement that their workers turn in 20 registrations a day, especially when they have to work outside in Nevada heat, is a virtual guarantee of ‘padding’, to put it kindly. I feel much more strongly about it than that, but I am trying to play nice.
ACORN has been linked to this sort of things for many years, in many places, and it is not only Republicans who have pointed it out.
I finally got time to read your link, and I didn’t see anything particularly conclusive. The possibility stands that the irregular registration forms were filled out by provocateurs, or more likely by homeless folk needing an excuse to come stand in the air conditioning for a while (it was Nevada after all). ACORN alerted the state when there were irregularities found in the forms, so they did their job. I doubt there’s any wrongdoing here on ACORN’s part.
Thank you for making the time.
I agree that the numbers are SO FAR much lower in Nevada. However, other ACORN offices have been raided as well. They have shown a pattern of this in the past. Were a foreign power to be engaged in such activity, it would be considered an act of war.
Okay, I’ll open myself up to one. There have been rumors of people shouting “Kill Obama” or some such at Palin rallies. I suggested elsewhere that these could be leftist provocateurs. It is the sort of thing which the left has a history of (starting, for example, with the Chicago convention in 1968). But I have never heard of the right in this country doing so APART FROM DURING NIXON’S ADMINISTRATION. Can you point me to sources alleging or proving such? I am genuinely curious.
Tx,
r.
You claim without evidence that the left has a history of using provocateurs, then you ask for evidence that the right ever has. Classy.
I merely submit the possibility of provocateurs, as well as the possibility of other reasons why bogus registrations might be submitted (homeless in search of temporary respite from the outdoors.) You do raise the spectre of COINTELPRO, and it would not be unheard of for such measures to be taken. I don’t know the whole truth, but I am also not one for grandiose conspiracy theories.
I do think, however, that it would be foolish for Obama’s campaign to try to stuff the ballot box when the poll numbers show him being so far ahead anyway.
With that in mind, and the observation that Obama’s campaign is not especially given to doing foolish things (my turn to open up for broadsides!), the simplest explanation becomes (IMHO) provocateurs acting singly or in concert.
Thanks for the serious-minded discussion, I’m really enjoying speaking to a reasonable adult.
GGA,
Do you deny that there were riots in Chicago in 1968 which were incited by leftist radicals?
n8,
It’s all Ema’s fault. She told me to stop calling names.
>.> then you’re going to have to try harder, hmm? rather than complain all the time…
You can always make LOL’s that rip on Obama. If you don’t like it show some initiative.
I don’t think you are getting the point.
No seriously… go through the voting or upcoming pages. There is a drought of Obama lols there too. If nobody is making them, how can the moderators post them up for us?
Quiet, you! There’s a librul conspiracy, and that’s all there is to it!
ZOMG, conspiracy! *dons tin foil hat*
I guess you’re right. I will get to work then.
You’re just not getting the opportunity to see them. They are there, but PK “LOLz” (they are less and less funny these days) are posted much sooner than those on the other blogs. Apparently only tens of votes are counted for PK posts before elevating a LOL to the front page, as opposed to hundreds for ICHC and ICHD.
Given that a lot of the “jokes” are time-sensitive, I can mostly understand that. Personally I get sick of going to the vote page only to see a deluge of Same Picture/Same Caption/Different Wording, usually of terribly unfunny bits.
The first is a good point, and I agree with you on the second, too.
P.S.: Herb, since you’re here, and nothing to do with this LOL, but on reflection I realize that at core I agree with you about the concept of ‘othering’. I am reading David Carradine’s “The Spirit of Kung Fu”, in which he discusses Taoism. ‘Othering’ is a prime example of duality, the separation of the observer from the observed, which Taoism gently combats.
Okay?
That said, you can’t base foreign policy and national defense on that. I do have a Buddhist friend who says that he would rather be killed than use violence to defend himself (I didn’t ask what his wife and kids think of that.) Most people are not about to ‘go gently into that good night’; I and they will use every means at our disposal to avoid being murdered, singly or collectively.
So. Ideally and conceptually, I’m with you. In practical terms, not. Hope that helps to unother you and I.
I agree.
*waits for earthquakes and floods and the sun to turn black*
Opposite sides of same coin, you and I.
Namaste.
I greet the light within you also.
You guys are all right. Civility WIN.
Crotchwaffles and douchenozzles *can* work together sometimes
Ew. I’d ask which of us is what, but I think I don’t wanna know.
I am almost afraid of what I would be called as a moderate… Though I agree with you that I am taking whomever kills me with me or at least try. And if they touch my family and my hands find them, it might take a while for them to die.
I don’t tolerate people attacking my family. Buddism is nice until all the nice people are killed for not resisting.
So… Crotchdouchewafnozzles?
O_o… I think that made me green for a couple seconds with nausea.
Couchtruffles?
o_O Fair enough I guess… >_>
What’s the point? The people who maintain this forum and vote on LOLz have political views to the left of yours and you don’t like it, so you’re going to whine about it?
I could see how you see it that way, and i agree with you. I’m whining. But here’s the thing, I don’t even like McCain. I am just curious as to why there isn’t equal opportunity bashing. I am just pointing out the boringness of total, one-sided bashing. Because as a conservative, what’s the point of visiting, contributing, or supporting this sight. It’s the same shit every day. Much more of this and I can see the few conservatives that do visit, not visiting anymore. Then what do you have? A liberal bash on McCain, Palin, or Bush that has comments with no debate. Then maybe it will start being boring to you too.
Exactly like the Left whines about FOX
And like FOX whining about everything not white, Christian, and/or Republican!
pelople make LOLs about sara Palin as well
that’s because the only ridiculous thing Obama has done or said is… hmmmm…wait , it’ll come to me. Oh! I know! He worked with that guy who blew up a statue dedicated to people who shot American Citizens! Twice! that’s all I got.
I don’t think captions like this are making fun of anybody, really.
I’m sure McCain isn’t really talking to a bush. But the way the camera caught him, it looks like he is, so somebody put a caption on it like he’s talking to a “Bush”. And that makes it funny.
I’ve seen a lot of similar ones with Obama. The camera freezes him in some silly position and somebody puts a funny caption on there that describes what it looks like he’s doing.
NOT what he’s actually doing. I think most of these LOLs that are making fun of the person in the picture are about what that person is actually doing. Many of the ones that aren’t about that make fun of the person, but when it’s not about what’s actually going on, only about what it looks like, it can be funny without making fun, if that makes sense.
McCain himself would probably think this one is pretty funny, IMHO.
you’re john mccain, aren’t you? and you approve this lol? that’s so awesome.
Good one!
N-8?
BINGO!
Want to know how to make a sweet little old lady curse like a sailor?
Get another sweet little old lady to yell out “Bingo!”
*watches another sweet little old lady swear like a sailor*
I’ll be damned…
All I ever had to do was listen to my grandmother watching a Reagan speech.
Youtube or it didn’t happen.
All I had was a vid of Bill O’Reilly pounding Ann Coulter from behind while they both watched an old Reagan speech, but stupid YouTube took it down.
O_O
The hell?!
I know! That’s what I said!
I am also afraid of finding out the reason you had that video… *shudder*
It was the weirdest thing… I hit up google looking for falafel recipes, and next thing you know, Republipr0n! And once it starts, it’s like a bad road accident… you can’t look away!
You’re forgiven and here is the number for bad porn finders support groups. They can help you. *gives number and reassuring/platonic pat on back*
*examines number* Ohhh… no, I’m not allowed within 60 feet of that place anymore. Not after last time.
-_- Me either…
Poor Johnny… maybe you can run again in 4 or 8 more years.
NO!!
The White House is mine in 2012!! You PROMISED!
I’ve noticed something very interesting. There are decent number of people that when confronted with the realities of democracy, cry for socialistic answers. Probably an incorrect observation when viewed on the whole but right now it seems to work.
The idiots in office, when confronted with the realities of capitalism, begged for a socialized loss. On PK, in a deficit of Obama lolz, I see people on EVERY lol complaining that there isn’t balance… Balance is brought on by the votes, not by an authority just picking out lolz.
Granted there might be some sort of actual bias of selection happening but I see similar antics in polls. Are we to expect the polls to be “balanced” to show the reality you are most comfortable with or do we expect democracy to speak?
Just some thoughts to ponder.
damn you and your logic
<3
I do try in my own moderate way.
Ever notice how long and non LOL your posts are?
OH! Look! Hummingbird!
*Wheels Chair Closer to Window*
I’ve noticed. I’m just not funny and I’m truly sorry. Yep hummingbirds. *pushes chair out the window* Now play nice with them.
In bed?
Sure. *rolls a bed onto you through the window* Always happy to please.
Nothing like a good healthy defenestration to get the morning going!
And if he wets that bed, I will beat him.
Hehe you just said, wet, bed, and beat in the same sentence… In a NOn sexual manner….
I feel very dirty. I must atone for this sin.
In bed?
Sounds like a plan. Wear something revealing.
Everyone begs for “fair play” when they’re losing. Not so much when they have the advantage. That’s not a left or right thing, it’s just a human thing.
Very true, which is why I made sure not to name parties. We all do it. I have to consciously stop myself when I catch me doing it.
Ever notice how, whenever you’re looking for something, it’s always in the last place you look? *ducks*
I tend to stop looking once I’ve found what it is I’m looking for. But then, I’m one of those nasty elitist libruls. How do they do it in the heartland?
They ask for fair play when they’re winning.
Every time I see complaints of “Not enough people voted for the Right, too many people voted for the Left!” I just assume they’re rehearsing for after the election.
A bit harsh but just as true/inevitable as people saying we’ve all gone stupid if Obama loses for whatever reason.
I think we’ve all gone stupid anyway. After the dust settles from the election, the media will be talking about Paris Hilton’s latest antics again within a month, and the idiot public will be lapping it up with abandon.
Sometimes I wonder if you are trying to trigger my first killing spree by reminding me of the idiots I am around.
Absolutely. Make sure to get video. Points will be awarded for both body count and style. Head shots count double.
Groin shots?
They’re gold, Jerry! GOLD!!
Excellent cuz I was planning on being a slasher since I am not up to date on my gun skills.
in bed…
True, I use artillery there.
Pity, I was expecting you locked and loaded.
Nah, I prefer sobriety in my sex and the only one locked down, in this case tied down is the girl. XD
Did you ever get that blood out of your clown suit?
No but it adds personality so I kept it and raised my rates.
LOL!!1!
Wait a minute n8… I thought Gacy liked the menfolk…
they weren’t exactly MENfolk. not yet anyway.
People are posting that they’re going to move to Alaska if Obama wins. Like Alaska is some magical place free of ties to the US govt…
Ah the joys of geography fail.
Ah, but it is just a stone’s throw from Russia; the REAL land of opportunity. And where, I’ve heard it suggested, Obama votes for you. Or something along those lines.
Good crap in a crate of crustaceans, I want to HUG you right now (based on more than how socialism terrifies me to the core).
I made this same basic point the last time Bush won and people whined about “our vote didn’t count!” BULL, you sore loser. Just because your guy didn’t win doesn’t mean your vote didn’t count. That’s like going to Vegas, betting $20 dollars, losing and claiming your money didn’t count. It sure did, you just bet on the hand that wasn’t strong enough to win. As in elections. There were just more people who voted for the other guy.
You may hug me. I takes them where I gets them.
I didn’t make it out to vote and then stopped caring when I was going to vote for Gore. Gore won Iowa without me anyway so even my almost vote counted, just wasn’t enough.
would that be MATING crustaceans?
we all know how HOT shellfish porn is this election.
… *buys some*
Hot prawn?
*Blushes* Well, I do enjoy a good arm sandwich.
*Sigh* recognising nesting fail. Nobody wanted to hug me.
*hugs tight and forehead kiss* No worries love. I got ya covered.
*purrs* Just like Daddy used to to it.
You know it, baby.
Also, just because your candidate didn’t win doesn’t mean your voice isn’t heard.
I used to not vote because I know my state is going a certain way, it always has and always will and I have no say in who gets to be president.
But this year, I am going to vote and for a third party. No, my candidate won’t win, but at the very least, it goes on the official record that one more person doesn’t like the two-party system and wants a wider range of viable candidates.
It doesn’t change who gets to be president, but at least my voice is heard.
Sigh….now he’s talking to plants??? Peachy.
He is trying to steal Gore’s job.
Gore speaks mainly to trees.
In bed…
there’s besitality and then there’s….”botanitality”?
And pedophilia. He doesn’t always count their rings to confirm age.
Technically it would be pedodendraphilia. Love of young trees. Sad that there is dendraphilia to begin with.
Wouldn’t it be hortiphilia? Or agriphilia? Regardless, I’m invoking Rule 34.
Oddly enough, my understanding that tree sex is dendra, I suppose those others could work for smaller plants.
why are we talking about plant sex again?
A combination of mine and your fault.
Dendrophilia…. dont ask me how I know that…. *picks a poplar
branch out of his zipper*
I SAID DONT ASK!
Took that “treehugger” term a little too far, huh?
I guess you do Got Wood…
. . . Which are only large Bushes–Holy Crap! It’s a conspiracy! They’re all in this together!
I knew it!!!
…I’m on the fence (though I’m leaning more towards McCain), but this made me laugh.
