Are you using my money to pay for it?
Yup. We citizens pay for it. Just like we did the last forty three times. Who do you think pays for the US Presidential inauguration? China?
Well, under the Republicans, China DOES pay for most of our crap.
Calm down people! It’s just politics. No reason to get so political about it.
Oh wait… nvm.
You know what, I didn’t look into the date, silly me.
and for what it’s worth (and not much lately based on the economy) the picture is ’shopped..
Usually I dislike ’shopped pics on principle. But for this one, I
make an exception. Well done, Mijan!
Tax dollars have paid for every presidential inauguration and every government administration in our nation’s history. This is no exception. The difference I see here is that instead of this administration catering to the richest corporate CEO’s and oil dictators, this is going to be the closest thing we’ve had in ages to an administration “of the people, by the people, and for the people.” That’s what I meant by “300,000,000 invited.” I’m not talking about the inauguration party itself. I’m talking about the whole country, and its renewed energy, enthusiasm, and hope for improvement.
I like this one a lot. Your caption matches the spirit of the photo, and you didn’t go all MIB on it! YAY!!
The caption placement is perfect!
Yes, and that was with the basic builder, too!
Thanks! And yes, it was the basic builder. Really, when it works, I like it more than the newer builder.
I liked it too.. I just hope the cleanup afterwards won’t be messy..
Well, said, and well captioned. Reminds me of when he won the election, there was a kind of impromptu block party in my neighborhood. I don’t know where people got the fireworks, but suddenly they were everywhere! It was great.
Reagan’s funeral cost in the millions. Who do you think paid for that?
Yeah, but it was well worth it.
EXACTLY, u dont deserve to win GO MCCAIN
Um, McCain’s inauguration would have been paid for by your tax dollars as well.
I, for one, welcome our new African American overlord.
Yeah except hes not really African American. He’s mixed.
Yeah, I’ll say the same as I do about Tiger Woods: if either one was not famous, and was pulled over by a small town cop on a deserted country road, could their race become an issue? Since the answer is obviously “yes”, I say that makes them functionally black.
Reminds me of an old Doonesbury cartoon. A black man is working as an aid to a wealthy republican senator. He’s pulled over while driving through her neighborhood to deliver some papers, and the police start to harass him. After trying to explain that he’s not breaking the law, he finally hangs his head and says “This is definitely because I’m black, isn’t it?”
The police officer answers, “No, sir. Latinos are entitled to the same treatment.”
Yup… a mix of African (Dad) and American (Mom)
Anyway you slice it, this was not funny. *sigh*
Q: How many sad republican bastards does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
A: That’s not funny. *sigh*
And here shows the “understanding”, and “acceptance” of the democrat party.
It was a retort to KaBooM.. I know n8 doesn’t think of ME as a bastard and has actually been quite accepting and understanding of my viewpoint. It’s the nutjobs he has an issue with..
Pretty much. In this case it’s the people who see a pro-Obama lol and feel compelled to post “not funny” regardless of the content. I swear, it’s getting as bad as the “First!” phenomenon.
At least “not funny” is one step up in the evolution of trolling..
Oh man, you just spoke of evolution in an accepting manner… that’s gonna cost you some conserva-cred.
crap..
As one who has recently lost cred, Eddie, let me say I totally sympathize with your plight.
what shall I do to redeem myself? I hope it’s not painful.. I don’t like pain.. well most forms anyway..
It will be a lengthy process of posting Evil-Pundit-esque diatribes about how Obama stole the election and is implementing mandatory abortions, etc. Bonus points for ad-hominem arguments against anyone who disagrees with you or brings actual facts into it. Good luck, and may the Flying Spaghetti Monster have mercy on your soul.
Sorry, n8, that is path to difficult to contemplate.. I guess I’ll have to stay where I am..
n8, you may want to try another cup of coffee. You totally forgot about the brown-shirted domestic forces goosestepping down the streets. (personal fave)
We will just have to get them better costumes if they’re going to be goosestepping…
I don’t blame you, Eddie. EP left some big clown shoes to fill.
LOL!
I know everyone thinks I’m nuts but I miss EP…
He was the crazy cat lady of our little PK neighborhood.
Then you would miss MegaBob too? Not that I necessarily disagree, but they really did make it difficult to say we are Republicans.
I do too, ema…it isn’t the same without him here.
I don’t miss either of them.
No, I’ll take EP over megabob and his many personalities any day. EP for all his faults isn’t a crazy stalker.
I miss my dignity, my self respect, my naive ideals, my… Oh wait, you guys aren’t priests and where are my damn pants!!!?
“Oh man, you just spoke of evolution in an accepting manner… that’s gonna cost you some conserva-cred.”
Maybe he meant ovulation?
No, but that certainly works too!
Is there such a thing as a negative-Obama lol? I’ve never seen one on this site.
No.. next question?
Heh! Thanks for the clarification.
No there never is, sometimes there is one making fun of his ears… that’s it. We just have to suck it up since we are in the minority in here and try to get in some zingers in the comments!
ACK! You said ‘ears’..
Hey, what happened to the funny one with Obama and the black-and-white cow? That was a funny picture, even without captions. Didn’t any LOLs of that one make it through?
The mysteries of the selection method of the whole Lol(whatever)stable are more arcane than both the Electoral College and First Past the Post combined.
I can understand the need for *some* moderation, to the extent that something occasionally gets thrown in for balance. Fairness aside, doing so would keep things entertaining. Having said that, I’m a logic-head, and can see how the voting scales would never tip far enough in one direction to justify placement.
Wasn’t that the one where Obama “approves this future cheezburger”? It ended up on the regular icanhascheezburger part of the website, I think.
I think it was in “Upcoming” on PK, but I assumed it would make it here.
Thanks.
I’ll try to keep my frustration with the one-sidedness to a minimum.
There is, if you check out the voting page. It’s just that they usually don’t do well in voting, so they don’t end up on the front page. Personally, I think it’s just because they’re not funny.
*sigh* I’ve made them and people even seem to like them, I just never see them get on front.
Give it time. He’s got 4 years to make a mistake, and even through the averages are against it so far, it’s bound to happen sooner or later.
Prove you are worthy of understanding and acceptance and maybe you will get it. Typical Republican, wants something they didn’t earn. Guess what, we aren’t required to respect or accept you. We are required to uphold the rights we all share. That is all we are required to do. You have free speech, you can complain. but we don’t have to listen to your whining.
“Typical Republican, wants something they didn’t earn” – I don’t think that’s typical of Republicans, probably a lot of that on both sides of the street.
ema, you have to admit some of us tend to buck the trend..
on a philosophical note (wrong place?)…
shouldn’t “rights we all share” (i.e. equal rights) be predicated on respect & acceptance of individuals as human beings?
That would depend on your philosophy. If you are a secular humanist, then yes, very much so. If you believe that your rights are granted by a deity, and that said deity grants rights differently to races, genders, etc., then perhaps not.
As for me, I tend toward secular humanism, since agnosticism doesn’t shed much light on the topic.
Well, I would say most of us, but I’m an optimist!
Yeah, the incidence of people wanting handouts seems to be randomly distributed among the political persuasions. The difference is that those of the Republican persuasion tend to loudly decry handouts, even while accepting them.
I think the Republican party is suffering from multiple personality disorder right now…
*swoon-plunk*
Really! I just can’t understand all the bail out stuff they’re doing, it’s not conservative, I don’t know what it is.
*slightly lifts head*
.
Socialism? Bail Out = Hand Out? Rich white guy insurance?
It’s corporate welfare. Real Republicans used to rage against that sort of thing, but the current crop doesn’t seem to mind it too much. It’s a pity, that was something I respected about them. Corporate welfare is a pox, it directly contravenes the “invisible hand of the market”, keeping corporate darwinism at bay. Basically it keeps buggy-whip manufacturers in business. *shakes head ruefully*
We used to enforce anti-trust laws.
Which is why I’m a ‘Wobbling Down the Center ModRep’..
I think of you as Mod in an Austin Powers way.
Oh behave!
Trouble is, I think the Democrats will be about doing the exact same thing. There is no difference between the two anymore when it comes to these bailouts and they don’t seem to have any respect for the taxpayer anymore. Maybe Obama will have other ideas but judging from what Pelosi has been saying it will be more of the same.
Perhaps if the Republican Party can successfully disentangle itself from the so-called “social conservatives” (aka fundamentalist whack-jobs), it can then get back to its fiscal-discipline roots and become a party worth considering again.
I honestly think this last campaign, along with Bush’s policies may just be the thing that turns them back. God I hope so because I honestly get tired trying to defend some of the platforms.
I give you serious props for trying, for what it’s worth. Real conservatives don’t have much of a party to call home right now, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t any good ideas buried under all the neo-con crap.
That’s why some of us are roosting here. I don’t know why we can’t take the best of both sides, toss them together, and voila! A government that makes sense.
Not that I want to get all Kumbaya, but don’t worry. The Democrats were in your shoes a VERY short while ago, remember? We were all, “Where’s our d*mn cohesive message?”, “How come we can’t win big elections?”, et c. Nobody needs to waste any time worried about whether the GOP will survive: I’m not *that* lucky!
Someone’s LOL’ing, m’Lord!
and I happen to like Kumbaya and swaying and all that other smarmy stuff..
“God I hope so because I honestly get tired trying to defend some of the platforms.”
Then don’t defend them. Simple as that.
Simply since you vote in a particular way means you like the *bulk* of the lies they pump out. It doesn’t mean you have to accept all the crap like it’s prime steak, nor do you have be silent on the subject. Object and object loudly. If you keep quiet, they’ll think you don’t mind, and if you pay lip service to something you don’t agree with, then you get all you deserve, you hypocrite.
wow, that came out of left field..
I agree with Unc, except I think he should do “take backs” on the “you hypocrite” part. We’re all hypocrites, to a certain degree. I’m a hypocrite when it comes to keeping my job, for example.
It’s not that I disagree, it was the hypocrite comment that I thought was wrong. I do voice my opinion not on the platform as whole, but on individual items that I either agree or disagree with. As I have mentioned in the past, I am a Moderate Republican (or as some would call me, a R.I.N.O.) But, I would hardly classify myself as a hypocrite.
It may have been the way you expressed it, but I got the impression that you were tired of defending planks with which you didn’t agree. I assume that Unc read it the same way I did.
Ok, I think it’s probably the phrasing. When something is put forward by the Republicans that I don’t agree with, I will be one of the first to say so.
Good catch, ema. As soon as I saw “Typical Republican,” I thought “Oh, this always works out well!” *cringes*
Sorry, I was being a little trollish there and reversing the usual canard you folks level against us, that we liberals are all welfare cheats who want something for nothing. I should have used a winky to show it was a joke.
Oh–that makes better sense!
Dead pan is more fun though…
Yeah, but it’s hard to do in writing without being misconstrued…in bed.
Of course I find it easiest to write in bed.
The misunderstanding is part of the joke… look upon it as the interent version of a French Farce… which usually does involve a bed…
Theatre of the Absurd much?
If you want the subtext of 99% of my posts… think Andy Kaufman, just a lot less dead.
I still have some hook scars in my lip from that guy. It was said that, when Andy’s death was announced, many of his close friends thought, “Oh hell, what’s that rascal up to this time?”
AH but your incessant pissing and moaning for the past eight years was different?
Get over it, your were poor losers in ‘00 and ‘04 and you are graceless winners in 2008. OB did NOT get 99.7% of the popular vote, the Democrats do not have 100 seats in the senate, etc. The attitude that all Democrats are fine upstanding citizens and all Republicans are theiving corrupt scum ain’t gonna help fix the mess the past two adminstrations, WJC and GWB both, foistes on the American public.
Broad brush FAIL
Where the hell is Jane and her Big Stick of Logic when we need it? What a slacker!!
No shidibitz! We are definitely suffering from the lack of her wisdom here. Call it our “Jane Addiction?”
I was at work losers! Some of us can’t do our jobs in a substandard way because we have access to PK on our computers. It happens to be blocked on mine!
It was Friday movie day. I spent most of my time watching my students like a hawk to see who WASN’T moved by Hotel Rwanda and mentally marking them down as lost causes.
Where do you work, Dear? Darwin Elementary?
If only, these kids are so pampered they wouldn’t know true hardship if it bit them on the ass. That’s half the problem, they can’t even relate to a movie like that because it’s so out of their scope, they think it could never apply to them. Meanwhile in the next breath they’ll complain about the fact that they have to stay after the bell. I’m like, srsly? You just watched a movie about the genocide of nearly a million people and you’re telling me it’s an injustice that you have to stay two minutes after the bell for talking? I hate high school, I can’t wait until I’m back in Elementary where I belong. *sigh*
That would be a tough row to hoe! I can’t imagine how you hold up, facing all of those zombie-looking blank faces. You could probably make more of a difference with the younger ones. What state are you in? I’m in Texas, so our kids are just “learning the test,” and have been for years. (Bush implemented his program here before he was unleashed on the rest of the states, mind.) I have a ton of teacher friends, and even the righties are looking forward to a different plan for our schools!
.
I’m sorry for the upset yesterday. I come from a large military family. You’re smart, so you can guess the rest, surely. I get upset by *very* little, otherwise.
Beware the Jabberwock, my son:
the claws that catch, the jaws that snatch.
Beware the Jubjub bird
and shun the frumious Bandersnatch!
I wasn’t upset with you, I was attempting to joke, I thought the smiley explained that, but I guess I wasn’t clear enough. Sorry if you thought I was yelling at you, I would never! Well, I would, but you’d probably deserve it if I did.
I was referring to the problem with GOM, but that’s old news.
…And yes, there’s no doubt in my mind that if you were yelling at me, I would truly deserve it!
Ooo. Good selection technique for the ‘little darlings’!
You might notice that Obama didn’t have to bring in the Supreme Court to arbitrarily award him the victory, nor did he resort to smearing his opponent’s military service. You might, on reflection, admit that “we” had legitimate grievances, whereas “your” pissing and moaning reflects little more than an inability to get to grips with your own butthurt from the spanking Obama delivered.
man, I hate when logic rules the day.. but yeah, as a ModRep, there was more butthurt over McCain’s choice of running mate rather then his loss to Obama.
I can’t vote since I’m underage, but if I had been able to, Sarah Palin would have been the deciding factor in my choice. I thought either candidate would do a good job, but I do not want that woman anywhere near my national government.
No offense to anyone who likes her.
I think you’re in good company here! That said, I feel a little sorry for Sarah. President Bush provided a great head wind for Senator McCain. I don’t want to see the GOP blame the whole failure on her. (I totally reserve the right to make fun of her, though!)
“AH but your incessant pissing and moaning for the past eight years was different?”
Um, yes.
If and when Obama blatantly steals at least one and possibly two elections, ignores warnings so that an attack occurs on American soil, attacks a sovereign country for profit and/or spite, appoints his unqualified cronies, takes us from a fair-sized budget surplus to a huge deficit, strips away Constitutional rights, bungles the handling of a natural disaster and its aftermath, etc. etc. etc., I’ll piss and moan plenty about it, and I would hope everyone concerned for the well being of our country would speak up, too.
As of this moment, he hasn’t done any of those things — in fact, he won’t even take the oath of office for another two months. Nobody has to LIKE the man if they’re not so inclined, but complaining about him at this point in time suggests sore loserdom, if only by process of elimination, since he hasn’t yet done anything but win an election.
“you people” who are you calling you people…sry, couldn’t resist. Back to all the political pissing and moaning (from both sides)
“the elections were not stolen? I cannot count how many different independent organizations did recounts of their own after the 2000 election, and every one of them came out with the same result as the first one.”
I’ve read many sources that seem to pretty definitively state that at least the 2000 election and probably the 2004 election were stolen. The votes were never counted accurately in 2000 (as has been exhaustively discussed elsewhere), and Diebold promised and delivered Ohio in 2004. You of course have the right to disagree; I will say, however, that the very fact that elections CAN be stolen is deeply disturbing to me.
“Can we not just be happy that the guy is finally gone after Jan 20th, and good riddance?”
I’m happy about that, but I don’t think it makes the last 8 years un-happen. My point in replying to the original poster was that Bush, as contrasted with Obama, has actually been in office and done things that were worth pissing and moaning about, and so the analogy was not a valid one.
“If the Democrats had bothered to put up someone worth voting for in either of those elections”
I’ll certainly grant that both Gore and Kerry ran generally half-assed campaigns, and that each made their fair share of mistakes. Whether or not they were worth voting for is a matter of opinion. My opinion is that just about anyone short of an axe murderer would have been worth voting for if it kept Bush out of the driver’s seat, and everything he has done or failed to do in the past 8 years has not only reinforced my opinion, but actually been worse than my worst fears.
RE the “why can’t you just get over it?” issue, which I’ve heard and read many a time: up until two weeks ago, I think Jon Stewart expressed it best when he said, “How can we get over it? He’s still here!” Getting over a fair and square election that didn’t go my way is one thing, getting over a subversion of democracy is quite another.
“I know that I simply am looking forward to being represented to the rest of the world, by someone (a) who can speak full sentences, (b) knows how to make those sentences up himself if need be, (c) doesn’t piss off every other nation in the world with his arrogance, and (d) FFS, is the first goddamn black president in the history of the country!!!!”
Agree wholeheartedly. Amen and hallelujah to that!! What’s FFS?
Wow, thank you for succinctly making the case for all of those pro Prop-8 folks…
WOW! Turn your flame thrower down a little.. The assumption was made because ’round these parts, historically Republicans (and I am included in that category by the way) have made it a point to bitch and whine about the lols. Based on that, I can understand how n8 lept to that conclusion.
-
You on the other hand have made the incorrect assumption that n8 is a f*cking moron, a$$hole, or any other name you can toss about.
-
So, here’s one directed at you that you can include in your limited vocabulary – Wankstain; a person of such low intelligence that only a clump of dried dead sperm are a comparison.
Thank you eddie. I now have Diet Coke dripping from my monitor. I am permanently putting Wankstain high upon my list of favorite insults. That was fabulous.
YAY! Mission Success!
A palpable hit…
we’re not in fox news anymore…
Wow! How could anyone NOT be swayed by such a well-reasoned and persuasive post? You can always spot a winner… just look for the profanity!
I’ll bet he’s a Libertarian!! a f**king Republican would never f**king swear like some swabby!! Oh, wait, that’s me.. *sigh*
I said that on a different thread. I got flamed for it :/
Matthew, for what it’s worth I still have scorch marks on my butt from posts way back. They don’t heal, but the pain does go away.
Flaming is part of the territory… I look like Captain Pike.
*Gives n8 a life* Wow, KaBooM sounds like me in traffic–not pretty!
Sound.play(“mario_1up.mp3″);
REVEAL: KaBooM is that annoying tv commercial guy who sells cleaning products. *covers ears*
Oh yeah, that guy that only has one volume setting. LOUD. Dude, it’s a damn shower spray. Calm the eff down.
LMAO! I’m just glad he’s not the voice-over for that “apply directly to the forehead” ad.
McCain and Obama want to get over the campaigh ugliness. Here’s to the spirit of unity! If only the sore-a$$ supporters would get over it and try to get along too. Nobody says we all have to agree all the time. Just being civil and having discussions is what the country is supposed to be all about.
On one hand, those that were whipped into such a frenzy by the campaign are having a harder time letting go because some of their pundits continue to push the hate, in spite of their candidate asking for unity. They should be haranguing those who can’t get over their own agenda and push the division, but they stay all angry at us instead.
It doesn’t help that the info-tainment magnates like Rush, Coulter, and O’Reilly have a vested interest in keeping angry conservatives angry. Hate radio is even worse. The problem is that this divisiveness pays big bucks, and “news” stations have bottom lines to feed.
Wise council indeed…
Funny you should mention sweet lil’ Anne. She’s my favorite, and I’ve been missing her. Just yesterday, I made another LOL of her (click name).
.
BTW, I was shocked to read that she and Bill Maher dated back in 2002: Strange bedfellow FAIL!
Oh man, they dated? That must have been some supremely angry sex!
I’ve resorted to drowning the images in alcohol…in 32 minutes.
Help, I need brain-bleach now!
He had a taste for drag queens? Who knew?
I am of the opinion s/he’s a transsexual in denial. She totally looks like she was once a man. Her attitudes toward women sort of back it up too.
I present for you, exhibit A: The Adam’s Apple.
I don’t think s/he takes enough of the hormones.
Doh, nesting fail.
dammit, the comment first appeared at the bottom of the thread and then came back here, so it failed to nest, then nested anyway!!!
Stop! You’re KILLING me! LMAO
Republicans don’t screw in light bulbs. The screw in a twin bed. Every other Thursday night at 9:45 Pm in the missionary position.
(Unless thay are in a bathroom in the Minneapolis airport that is)
I’d love to come! Thanks Barack
I’m going! Signed up in April. Yay!
Don’t forget we’re also paying for the transition, etc. He’s keeping that $605M….
January 20, 2009
Beginning of an Error
Yes, because the last 8 years have been so spectacular.
You thought so too! I especially liked the lemonade..
Wasn’t that KoolAid? (I know, I know: “Obtuse Reference FAIL”)
no, it was lemonade.. I swear it was.. but it did have a weird bluish tint to it.. -
-
*shrug*
-
Go figure..
Ooops! Never drink or eat anything blue! (unless it’s cheese)
I think I was drugged.. something that was maybe a holdover from the Clinton years?
You weren’t supposed to inhale!
Oh great, NOW you tell me..
Aww…but blue food bestows immortality!
uh, no, that would be red food.. my Creator told me so.. It says so in Genesis, blue causes braindamage, red causes brain enhancement (although, I am paraphrasing here a bit..)
Really? George Carlin told me that it’ll give me immortality. Too bad he couldn’t find some… ):
Link in name, by the way.
Elf shot the food!!
Wizard needs food, badly!
I recently ran across an Irish cheese; some kind of white cheddar that had had blueberries put into it prior to pressing. OMG! The best mix of flavors in a long time!
Sorry, that sounds a bit too weird for me.. blueberries and cheese? Seriously? I like both, but I don’t know about together like that.
Eds, think “blueberry cheesecake,” and free your mind!
Oh, well now that’s a whole different ball game. I loves the blueberry cheesecakes!
Costco, of all places, used to carry goat cheese that was edged (?) (if that is the correct word) in unsweetened chocolate (like baking chocolate, only powdered). It was strange, and I cannot imagine who came up with such an idea in the first place, but the mild creamy cheese went pretty well with the bitter chocolate.
I am bringing pie. NOBODY ELSE BRING PIE.
You’ll need punch! I’ll bring punch. Punch ‘n pie.
Gotta have some Captain in the punch…I’ll bring the rum!!!
wait… seriously? WTF I RSVP’d I WAS BRINGING BANANA CREAM PIE! what kind are u bringing?!?!?!
Mmmmmmmm.. with the graham cracker crust?!?!
yes with the graham cracker crust=]
and for those crazy liberal vegan hippies- vegan chocolate cake.
INAGURAL BLOCK PARTAAAY ‘09!!!!
okay,FINE, there’ll be a choice of pie. But I get more decimal places.
*gives you one*
I hope it’s a lot of pie–enough for everyone, yes?
Better be or a foresee a nasty turn of events..
“There were all nine kinds of pie that Harold liked best.”
Resisting the urge to answer with a Heroes reference…I don’t suppose anyone saw the most recent episode?
I fell out of love with Heroes after the first season, sadly.
Most of us just try to pretend that the second season didn’t happen…it was all a bad dream. The third is shaping up to be much better.
Crockett Johnson FTW!
Please to make sure it’s Sweet Potato Pie! I understand it’s his favorite.
Isn’t sweet potato pie basically pumpkin pie? Can one really tell the difference in taste?
Basically, no, inasmuch as one is made out of pumpkin, and the other sweet potatoes. Wow, obvious rhorho is obvious.
It’s Hope pie with a crispy Freedom crust.
With some whipped cream of Change on top.
I wish I could go. I’m not about to buy a scalped ticket, though.
Got three tickets from our State Rep (in Pa)…where are you, maybe I could get an extra…
I wish I could go, too. I volunteered on the campaign, and so did my mother and sister. I’m also an Army veteran who got out of the service last year. It would be nice… but I’ll watch it from home.
Eee! I’m in Illinois (so yeah, I’m doubly proud), but I doubt I could get down that way anyway. So sad! Thanks, though.
I love his anti-gravity tie.
Reminds me of Dilbert.
pointy-haired boss GONE! W00T!
(ehe.. sry about the leet)
f*** yeah!
(?)
At least we can all agree that he’s the most hip president we’ve ever had.
Yeah, except for that hottie John Tyler…
JFK was pretty hip…
If anything JFK in his Rat Pack, screw anything that moved way was probably a little too hip…
You’re right. John Tyler was much more cool with his cool.
Teddy R was pretty hip too.
“Teddy R was pretty hip too.”
No s#it! Former cowboy, former police commissioner of NYC, black belt in martial arts, charged up San Juan Hill on FOOT, had a pet bear, got shot while campaigning and FINISHED MAKING HIS SPEECH with the bullet in him…
I guess they made ‘em tough in those days.
They just don’t make ‘em like they used to. I think the closest we’ve gotten was an actor who portrayed cowboys rather poorly. (I don’t care about your feelings about Reagan politically, his acting was shit.)
Somebody, I forget exactly who (but it might have been Gore Vidal) commented to the effect that it was even flattering to call Reagan an actor: “Laurence Olivier was an actor. Jimmy Stewart was an actor. Cary Grant was an actor. Ronald Reagan was a sportscaster.”
This would be true,, even Bonzo did a better job!
in acting that is..
Hey, Andrew Jackson’s inauguration was practically a rave, sans strobe lights. If that’s not hip, I don’t know what is.
I travelled though DC airport on Inauguration night 2001… I’ve never been to a place that was so palpably miserable to be missing the biggest party night in 4 years…
I think DC will finda a way to make up for it on 20 January!
They’re closing the airport?
*headdesk*
It looks like Obama was Photoshopped into that picture.
Please, for the sake of those of us who HAVE to live and work in and around DC, don’t come.
I can’t even get out of my work parking garage right now because of some political mess that is tying up every lane of traffic on the NW side of the city. 7:30 p.m. on a Friday. I just want to go home!
okay…so this must be based out of Cali. I did exaggerate a bit. It’s only 7:15 p.m., but I assure you it is no 4 p.m.
I believe it’s in Seattle, but it could be San Fran.. either way, it’s a few hours behind you and lot’s of hours behind me.
I’ll pass. I’m sure I’ve got something much better going on.
Peter Cook was once approched by an Member of Parliament he loathed who said to him ‘We must have dinner sometime’
Cook replied ‘I sorry, but I’ll be watching television that night’ and walked away.
Sorry, no party.
The Washington Metro is in dept with a Belgian bank (KBC) and it will probably go bankrupt if it can’t pay back its loans.
So that means no metro for you Merkians on 20/01/2009. Gotcha!
I don’t get the lol in this.. unless it’s the 300 million nbr. In actual fact, I think 58 million or so Americans voted for obama, and something like 52 million voted for Obama (just rough numbers)
Err. 52 million or so for McCain
I didn’t vote for either one. They are both too the same.
Both want to continue war.
Both were/are for the bailout (and stooges of the private corporation The Federal Reserve)
Both are members of CFR.
Both are for Big Govt
I wonder how they stand on the NAFTA/The North American Union? (No press even seemed to get an that out as a question, let alone an answer.)
Yeah, those numbers are pretty rough. Obama won by 8.5 million popular votes.
What, no one complaining this photo is “shopped”? The original is floating around as a new one to be captioned still. This wasn’t taken in front of the white house OMG false advertising?
I don’t know about complaining, but I did make a comment way at the very top.
Aha, so you did. My bad.
It’s ok.. I tend to skip the first few comments myself.
Yeah, and any comments involving…
Staplers??? o.O
Well, it’s not unflattering or malicious like some of the others, so why complain?!
I know. I was just waiting for those who are of a mind to self-parody.
You had your 8 years and f’d it up royally. Get over it and just enjoy the ride.
Lol!

There aren’t words enough to express my disgust with this clown and donothing nobody.
