Allright, America, quit your bitching.

Why need duct tape when you obviously has control of the Force ?
oh and er……….. first.
*runs away from the mob*
*chases Chigou into the marketplace, upsetting fruit carts, pedestrians, etc.*
*rounds corner just in time to see Chigou disappearing into a sewer*
*shakes fist* I’ll get you next time, Chigou!!
but next night at an unexpecting restaurant…
…the unexpecting restaurant said to Chigou “I’ve been expecting you”…
In fact, duct tape IS the Force. Think about it. It has a dark side and a light side, and it holds the universe together.
WIN!!!
+1
BINDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No one gets that damn joke right.
It has a light side, a dark said and it binds the universe together.
Go watch Star Wars
Obi-Wan says binds and thus a joke using his description of the Force in the punch line should as well.
/nerdoff
you don’t get laid much do you?
ROFL!!!
PWND!
Love that joke.
I find your lack of faith… disturbing
OK, I like that one…
Well done!
i am not even joking, whoever did this one i think this iis the funniest pic i’ve seen on this site. nice job
Spelling FAIL
“Allright” -> “Alright”
Yes, and there’s a comma splice, to boot. Who cares? At least it’s a real LOL!
Grammar nazi moment: It’s debatable if “alright” is even a word. It’s working its way into legality, but last I heard it was still technically incorrect and should be “all right,” as two words, at least formally.
Words evolve in living languages. Being a grammarian in a linguistic world is an exercise in futility, at best. Once upon a time, “some” and “thing” were incorrect to compound, but usage prevailed over time, as it usually does.
I fight with my inner grammarian on a daily basis. Common sense usually prevails, but peace comes in the fact that I won’t live to see “your” as an acceptable replacement for “you’re.” Whew!
I was taught that there is no “alright” as there is no “alwrong”.
It’s evolution, baby.
the word ‘couth’ is not longer used, but uncouth is…
I’ve heard “couthy.”
That reminds me of a new word invented by Stephen Colbert:
“Truthiness.”
I love made up words. My English teacher had one: diabastrous. (Combination of “diabolical” and “disastrous.”)
As in: ” Some of those essays were just… diabastrous!”
the annoying thing about deciding what is and is not a word in english is, we got have an acadamie, there’s different schools of thought on what is and what is not a word.
the funny thing was the other day a french person asked my friend and I how many words are in the English Language. French has something like 90,000, English is somewhere between 300,000-900,000 our margin of error is larger than their lexicon
and you believe a Frenchman?
French has over 140.000 words in an average internet spell checker …
but hey: you Americans think that you are better than anyone else in any way., dont’you?
Troll boy is obvious troll… try getting an original name, cretin…
Les dictionnaires français les plus complets atteignent 90 000 mots
L’anglais, considéré comme particulièrement riche, dispose de plus de 200 000 mots, ce qui ne signifie pas que la langue courante en fasse usage.
and that’s why Aedriel is awesome…
*applauds in French*
Aedriel–You wrote French!!
*mwah! mwah! mwah!*
What I really need is a crash course in Italian… going to study there this summer
Cool! Is your brother going with you?
I found Michel Thomas’ method works well…
OK, you can’t *read* the language, but you won’t starve or end up in jail in short order…
Nooooo… that would be way too much for him, I’m afraid. I sort of need a vacation from him anyway.
UF – I can read most romance languages very well, it’s speaking them and hearing them spoken that I lack practise in – so I will look into that, thank you
He used to teach language crash courses to
people going into the resistance
movements in WW2
I have sampled many languages but I love French the best. Especially for cursing… It is like wiping your @ss with silk…
Yes indeed…
Tu salaud!
My personal favorite is “craptastic.”
As in, “isn’t that the most craptastic trailer park you’ve ever seen?”
Don’t know why, but it totally cracks me up!
I’m also a fan of “cracktastic”, as in the average American Idol final.
Who doesn’t love made-up words? I have a friend named Ann, and sometimes I’ll be like “Hey Ann… Are you having an ‘anntastic’ day?” and I told a bunch of her friends to say that too (the defintion of “anntastic” is “a person by the name of Ann who has something good at the moment”). I also have a friend named Nick, and he compiles a list of his made-up words into a “Nicktionary”.
I like ass-tastic better, but that’s just me.
Sounds like Nick needs a good hobby.

My favorite made up word:
Ridiculosis – The condition of being infected with stupidity causing ridiculous words to be spewed from the mouth, or actions of a ridiculous nature to be performed.
“What’s wrong with Ann Coulter?”
“Oh, she has a bad case of Ridiculosis.”
My favorite made-up word is “distructions,” a cross
between “directions” and “instructions.”
When all else fails, it’s time to read the distructions.
I heard that one as destructions – an amalgam of destroy and instructions

whenever i’m called an athiest, i thank the person, but assure them that while i may be athier than most, i don’t believe i’m the athiest. 95% of the time, they don’t get it.
maybe now we can be a couthier or couthiest athiest.
I am now, officially, your biggest fan.
sweet. and i yours. you bring out the evil in me (yes, it’s all your fault)
let us go forth and drink the blood of of aborted virgin puppies, sacrifieced to our sworn enemies
of course, i had to go and mess it up…
sacrifieced = sacrificed
i just got all excited
Want to borrow my ‘glasses’?
nah, i’m ok, but thanks.
the thought of aborted virgin puppy blood just does something to me. i’m better now.
or were you just taking a ’shot’?
Gets me excited too, I understand completely.
Unless, of course, you are married to my wife. Then there is ONLY
“alwrong”. ….all the time.
Surely not just after Valentine’s Day! Isn’t that your shot at redemption? Even major screw-ups ought to get a couple of days slack for being so wonderful yesterday.
*sigh* Wish it were so, mom. I haven’t been right in many years. Gave her her her favorite flowers and multiple cards from me and puppies, like I do
every year. No card in return as usual. Wonder what not-the-boyfriend
got. Cripes…listen to me. Enough. Thanks for the thought Musicmom.
That’s why… Never mind, I won’t go there. It isn’t funny and you have all my sympathy. I’ve been in that situation before.
Thanks Death. Spoken like a gentleman. Although I’m really admiring you restraint in not going for the cheap chuckle…… I’m also really wondering what the zinger would have been. Go ahead….you know you want to! I still have my sense of humor. If it’s good, I’ll steal it. Heh. Shoes for industry!
I know – like I said, it’s still working its way into legality. But if someone’s going to be a nazi…
I just hope “everyday” doesn’t turn into a suitable replacement for “every day” – those mean two distinctly different things!
Yes, and rumor has it that “disinterested” and “uninterested” will
eventually become interchangeable, both meaning “uninterested.”
In weaker moments, my eye twitches at split infinitives, but let’s not
attempt to boldly go where no grammarian has gone before, okay?
sorry, i’m undisinterested in this topic. (disuninterested?)
Misunderinterested.
Yes, you misunderestimate my undisinterest in this topic.

Spelling and grammar rules often change out of common ignorance and misuse, so it’s funny that fudge corrected the caption maker’s misspelling with a word that’s still in the stage of being forced into common usage by the undereducated.
Either way, it’s still misspelled — it should be “alright” or “all right.”
This is “allright” which, of course, is “allwrong.”
Point being, if you’re going to correct someone’s spelling you should use the proper spelling yourself, because any misstep is going to be amplified.
Oh yeah, gotta’ love a good sanctimony fail (ure).
Nope- it’s Aiight:P
yes, i agree. conservatives need to quit their bitching…
It’s my liberal friends that are bitching, wondering what the hold up is. They’re the ones with all the expectations, Conservatives know he’s not going to do diddly squat.
Nonetheless, I don’t care what anyone thinks of Obama, this is FUNNY!
No, actually what conservatives know is the system’s so fu*ked up there really IS no practical way to fix it, and whoever tries is, and will be, stymied by corruption and greed.
“A Republican is someone who believes government inefficient and ineffective, and when elected, endeavor to prove the belief true.” – Thom Hartmann

I do not trust the Republicans goals, but I am confident in their ability to get it done.”

oh like you libs did over bush? 8 years of hes not my president? STFU jackoff
That’s some enlightened debate right there.
*facepalm*
So obviously you doing the obverse NOW is perfectly okay.
bush was worth complaining about… and he has 8 years of hate stock. the economy´s too bad for obama to have hate stock…
Woodstock – 3 Days of Love and Music
Hatestock – 8 Years of Misery and Greed
= )
Yet they both involved a ton of mudslinging and left a giant mess in the end.
-
Real difference: everyone wants to claim they were at Woodstock, everyone wishes they weren’t at Hatestock.
I would have gone to Woodstock, but I was a bit busy defending Truth, Justice, and the American Way. I would much rather be able to claim I was at Woodstock.
…..so, you’re saying you were too busy being at Woodstock to go to Woodstock? (just kidding)
I understand it was very muddy.
Yes, there were some similarities..
There, see, you got the best part of the experience after all!
A big smelly mud pit full of kids on dope vs. a big smelly mud pit full of kids on dope?
(facetiousness, please don’t shoot me)
= )
LOL!! That sums it up nicely..
Thank for your service. I lost my dad to that one.
*you (sheesh. I even f*ck up a thank you. I need a drink)
Ah yes, tit for tat.
That time-honored tradition where one side engages in the same mindless BS that the other side engaged in during the previous regime, even as they condemned it for being foolish, immoral, un-American, unpatriotic, and/or traitorous.
The height of hypocrisy, and the real reason nothing ever gets accomplished at the federal level.
you just cant take your own medicine thats all it is.
It seems that mostly the right can’t take it they lost
L-O-S-T. Lost… did not win… seems god turned his face away…
If I were you I’d pray and stop whining…
At least Obama was unequivocally elected. Between Jeb Bush’s machinations and Diebold’s shenanigans, who knows what actually happened in 2000 and 2004?
algore lost every recount (all 5 of them) and wanted to keep going like al frankin till he found enough votes in heavily democratic areas to get elected. Sore loser? Then when republicans complain about obama’s policies and not that he actually got elected they get attacked as being hypocrites… Try this … go onto any college campus and walk up to a liberal arts teacher and tell them you liked bush. see if they dont stab you with a mat knife.
If there were enough votes to get elected, then he should have been…
you some sort of retard?
I think you should review the list because the site is very slow, I am bored, and it would be entertaining to read.
what list? The guy say that Gore could scratch up enough vote to get elected…
If that’s the case, he should have been elected.
you been at the magic markers again?
Sorry, my mistake for not clarifying. You said some sort of retard so I was asking you to review the list of retard phenotypes. Again, apologies good sir.
there was a couple funnier captions… but alll this bitching about him winning… get the F over it….
That’s just about what he really says in his press conferences.
Is this the replacement slogan for “hope” and “change”?
YOU’RE DOING A HORRIBLE JOB SO FAR!! GO BACK TO CHICAGO LAND MR. BAMA!
*pitches Yoo back under the bridge*
Good pitch, rho …. but better stand by with a bat since those Shouting Trolls are such persistent little sh!ts.
He’s asleep now…
Why do they always snore loudly, too?
Wait, I want to know if Chicago Land is anything like Candy Land? Gumdrop Mountains anyone?
Molasses tar pits, too. No, wait, that’s in D.C…
Mmmm–Chocolate Swamp
it’s more like nose-candy land.
you’re pitching woo under the bridge? tramp.
i knew i liked you

That reminds me of the time I heard tell of a sailor who fell overboard & was sucked under the pier by a 5-foot WAVE
I won’t tell you how long it took me to get this joke.
(And me, the granddaughter of a WAAC!)
Nice to know you got there though. It’s such an old term (an old joke), I wasn’t sure anyone would understand it.
.
- ACSIS of Evil, the Stanic formerly know as IowaSucks
I got it too! And he was one lucky sailor!
I’m still getting past the point that you “heard tell” of something.
Your hick grammar is nearly perfect, but “formerly know as”
should be “formerly knowed as.”
Otherwise, perfect, and of course LOLful!
Well, I might could change the tag line, but then all y’all might stop picking on me.
Breaks fingers and removes Caps Lock key.
Death called… He says only he can use capslock.
Also something about the sand in your hourglass…
I didn’t know Death was a fan of Days of our Lives! I don’t think much of his taste…
He got hooked when Marlena was possessed by the Devil. He thought it was a romantic comedy.
It wasn’t??? Crap! I’ll never get the hang of those soaps!
I know, between the ‘back from the dead’ and ‘who’s the daddy’ storylines, it’s hard to take anything seriously in those stories.
Whose Daddy is back from the dead? Next week…
The amnesia ones are good, and who can ever tire of the
adultery?
It’s not adultery if you have amnesia and can’t rememer that you’re married. Duh.
It’s not??? Crap! I’ll never get the hang of those soaps!
I myself enjoy the Twin Switch story lines. One of them is always evil. It’s a rule.
What if the evil one gets amnesia, and forgets to be
evil?
That would never happen. The goatee (sp?) that is the evil twin’s staple would still be there, ensuring his/her continued evilness.
The Goatee of Evil (TM) is really awkward in the case of girl twins, through.
True… I think they must have some other evil feature. Strangely pointed eyebrows perhaps?
What about some cool reptilian pupil contacts,
with phosphorescent glow during the scenes
of extra evil-doing?
What’s wrong with reptillian pupils? Dear God, could this mean…? I AM the evil twin!!!!
Nah…. You don’t have demonic red eyes…. They seem to be a staple of hard of thinking films…
*sniffs* I could be… If I really wanted to, that is. I mean, just look at the aborted babies controversy I created yesterday. I’m at least half evil, right?
There, there… you’ll always be the most evil to me…

Back of B*tches! You won’t make your way to the top of my evil empire! *starts throwing peasants down the stairs to obstruct Rho and Aedriel’s progress*
See, I’m so evil I used “of” instead of “off” like I should have. Yeah, that’s right, I did it!
*continues more covert forms of evil and hums show tunes to disturb unknowing onlookers*

Ah I knew they were familiar, Jane… d’oh!
(double post) If it’s any consolation, nobody caught my American Psycho…

Always a favorite.
What about the car accident thread, where the recovering patient looks nothing like the original? Somehow they look like another…actor?
Man, if I knew car accidents would turn me into someone younger and more attractive I’d start cutting people off in traffic. Well, more than I already do anyway.
Oh my!
*waves to Jane from the bottom of the empire, watching the peasants bounce down the staircase*
Hi Steve! Mind the children, they tend to bounce all the way to the bottom.
The first place that duct tape needs to go is over President Affirmative Action’s mouth. Hands off, shut up, let the adults handle this one, okay?
There speaks a bitter, bitter white guy…
Thick skull, empty head. Probably covered in Cheeto dust, too.
Aww, don’t be so hard on yourself.
Dude, seriously, put the mirror down.
And quit grinding Cheetos dust into your mom’s rug.
Cry me a river of your sweet sweet Conservative tears.
*offers Forge a glass to catch the tears*
They’re great with a twist of fresh lime.
I enjoy mine with a little salt around the rim. Also with the blood of Aborted Babies.
Wow. Thtat’s really fu!king sick. Do you bite the heads off bunnies, too?
Hi Fake LOL. You misspelled “sock,” there. It has an “o.”
What am I faking? If this poster had actually seen, smelled and held the broken remnant of what used to be a human being, she (and anyone else) wouldn’t joke about drinking its blood. It smells horrific and looks worse, and disposing of it is no picnic.
Whatever your politics, it’s really insulting to joke about.
There is already a poster called “LOL” here. That “LOL” was
hijacked this past week, so it’s easy to see how one would
think “LOL” was being hijacked again. Jane’s joke was not
for the sensitive, I agree.
Better?
I’d like to have just one person who jokes about drinking foetal blood have a go at the nasty bloodshake of detritus that’s left behind following removal.
If one could make it past the initial gag reflex from the odour, once it was in one’s mouth one would vomit until one’s toenails flew from one’s mouth.
Not amusing in the least; this statement is really not a joke, and its necessity for shock value in this instance is nil.
Yes, better.
As for the rest, this is a LOL site, and not everyone
shares the same sensitivities, or the same sense
of humor. Not every comment is going to hit it out
of the park with everyone. Just ignore her
comment and have fun, okay?
Not only that, but to know Jane is to know she uses sarcasm quite often.
Fair enough, I suppose, excusing one’s rude public behaviour with “oh, it’s just sarcasm, she’s allowed.”
I still maintain one would never joke about it again if one actually had a big gulp of what it actually is they are joking about.
So, you’ve tried it? Ewww!
IMO*, her reference was more of a political
statement. You must admit that few, if any
others here, share your knowledge, yes?
(*I’ve read a lot of Jane’s posts, so I feel
comfortable in guessing her meaning.)
You will certainly be able to discuss your
knowledge in a serious discussion here, if you
stick around. I’m just saying that this isn’t the
time, though I understand that my opinion is
worth what you paid me for it…
Sorry Aed, above was at NOT.
Nay, never quaffed (and as I said the suggestion nauseates me no end), but I have had it splattered on my face and spilled on my person. Not pleasant, and if one gets “used” to it one would be a tougher bird than I.
And it’s not amusing or even remotely effective as a political statement, either, IMO. What is political about drinking the blood of a dead innocent? I thought our species had evolved past the days of threatening to (and/or actually) drink the blood of the vanquished.
“I drink the blood of aborted babies” just sounds ridiculous, and doesn’t help one’s argument, ever. It’s designed to shock and offend, and is usually used as a last resort to bolster a faltering argument. I can’t figure out why it was used here, other than to make the poster appear, well … hmm. I really am mystified why that was necessary.
But I do appreciate your opinions.
Geez, you really have no idea what sarcasm is, do you? Jane was making a joke based on the right-wing fundie view of liberals.
-
A sense of humor. Get one.
*Snap*
Awesome, nice to know three weeks absence hasn’t taken away my abilty to offend. I was afraid I’d lost my touch. You have it in one froo, but then you know me so well.
I am very aware of what sarcasm is used for; there’s no need to suggest I need a sense of humour when the poster herself just revealed that the intent was to offend, and not to amuse.
Your sense of humour allows you to find this amusing; mine does not.
My point is that I find it a shame that those who make such offhand comments under the guise of political ideology don’t know what they are really saying.
I don’t espouse any particular political ideology regarding this topic (for me to do so would be hypocritical), I am merely pointing out the veracity behind such a statement.
“I drink the blood of aborted babies”
But I do… from a cup made from the skull of a virgin…
I’m sorry, but my care-o-meter is hovering at about 0.5 today, you’ll have to come back and freak out on me another day.
*covets Unc’s skull* That’s awfully nice mister, where’d you get it?
Now that’s not surprising. Do you also monopolise the anuses of the choir boys you keep in your basement for fattening prior to their ritual murders in order to acquire said drinking vessel?
Someone’s been spying on your private parties, Unc. I told you some blinds would help with that.
I am not freaking out. I simply made a statement regarding your comment.
Freaking out would be threatening you or having a temper tantrum.
I’ve done neither; I’ve simply pointed out how revolting your statement is in actuality. Somehow I can’t visualise you (or anyone) actually doing such a thing, and I don’t even have the first clue who you are.
And as far as libs/cons are concerned, the whole world, fortunately, isn’t constrained to such a vastly divergent ideological spectrum, so we don’t all know just how at odds Americans are regarding all things political.
I probably should have recognised it for what it apparently was when you used the term “babies” rather than the correct “foetuses.”
Oh, I’m sorry, my care-o-meter just went down to 0.2, but feel free to continue freaking out, you may raise it to 1.0 for entertainment value alone.
You can get things like that from the Tibetans in exile
You say ‘revolting’ like it’s something bad…
I knew Tibetans had to be good for something! As to you “revolting” comment, surely you know that all humor must be completely inoffensive to all people at all times.
It’s really a shame the way many here tend to drive those with differing opinions away with such dismissive attitudes, name calling, and by denigrating their opinions rather than addressing said opinions.

FWIW, I do find that statment fu!king repulsive, whether in jest or not.

‘Tis certain you all enjoy one another’s company, so I leave you to it.

K, Bye.
Aye. I can’t help but saying that’s much funnier than the one posted above.
Thanks for that.
“Wow. Thtat’s really fu!king sick. Do you bite the heads off bunnies, too?”
-
I’m glad SOMEONE here is above name calling.
Since NOT LOL has taken his/her sanctimonious self off, I’ll explain for anyone interested what prompted my original comment that spawned all of this. When I woke up this morning I found this [LINK] in the opinion section of my local paper. The comment asserting Obama, and by extension all liberals, supports “unrestricted abortion on demand” is the sort of backwards thinking that is very prevelent in the county I live in. It is frustrating to say the least. So that article combined with not serious comment ElbieSee made about drinking the tears of conservatives led to my statement, which was apparently more inflammatory than I gave it credit for being when I typed it. I’m certainly not apologizing, I still think it was funny, even if I DID type it before I’d had my first cup of tea.
Well, speaking as a bystander, it is kind of inflammatory (and a little bit ewwwy) especially out of context, not that anyone here is unable to defend their statements.
FWIW, I (and most, you know, RATIONAL, people) don’t think all liberals are out to pin people down and give then abortions …
Just an observation.
Nice to know, you wouldn’t know it by most of my neighbors, who seem to think liberals want abortions served at McDonalds.
“I’ll have the double cheesburger with side of third trimester abortion please.”
Okay, now that’s REALLY eewwwwy!
*brainbleach and vodka poultice applied*
I may be small town, but I damn sure ain’t small minded, and neither are those with whom I surround myself. Sorry you are dealing with the zealots.
In addition to that, I have brothers and grew up on military posts (my dad retired as a Lt. Colonal) so my Ewwwww factor is absurdly high.
i honestly don’t know which is more outrageous;
.
those who make and spread the lies that obama wants up to 6th trimester abortions (yes, you read that right) or
.
those so friggin stupid they believe and spread any bs fed to them by their party, their church, or their appointed guru without stopping to question it.
[link]
Yeah, we slaughter our own chickens, beef and emu, and I ran a daycare for several years, but the prospect of even considering consuming anything aborted makes my gag reflex trigger, probably because I’ve had to help pull dead calves from their mothers. Now that, my friend, is NASTY!
*tries not to reminisce too much*
I’d lay off eggs then… people get pissy
when you point out they’re just chicken
menses
LOL!
I know! Butchering chickens is amazing, because you get to see the eggs in every developmental stage (as well as the proverbial running about sans head). It’s fascinating, really.
And I don’t eat eggs for that very reason — chicken ova, blech.
It grosses me out. I know it makes me a wuss, but such is life.
I should stipulate, I prepare eggs for others, and will eat them in baked goods, but sunny side eggs and a side of rasher yucks me out! It’s like a grotesque smiley face begging to be consumed …
I go with the cheese grits and/or mush, thank you vey much!
Aedriel,
I just clicked your link.
*splort*
EEEWWWWtastic.

I miss the dead babies jokes we used to tell in college. And somehow I only became more jaded…
The other day my sister made some eggs…
So we cooked them and an ate them…

Dead baby jokes = yes.

Well, I remember two jokes my friend the 4.0 clean cut guy Ron told me and I will relate one of them.
Q: How do you get a thousand dead babies into a car.
A: Blender
Q: How do you get them out?
A: Straw
Awesome!
Q: Why did the dead baby cross the road?
A: It was chained to a bumper
-
and my coup d’etat (and I AM going to puke now)
-
Q: What is red and creeps up your leg?
A: A homesick abortion.
I thought it was stapled to the chicken.
Fine, fine… I will tell the other one.
Q: What is the difference between a dead baby and a cheeseburger?
A: I don’t have sex with a cheeseburger before I eat it…
I can’t remember the other ones I heard from 4.0 but he was an odd one for looking so damn normal…
*NOES*
*DIES*
*smirks* I win…
Yes you do, that one was great. Kept
me laughin for a good few mins XD.
Yes.
I assumed as much.
Glad we’re on the same page. I drown puppies too, in case you were wondering.
i prefer feeding them to rats. better entertainment value.
*contemplates* Hmmmmm, your idea has merit. I will take this under advisement for the next meeting.
Whatever you do to puppies can’t compare to what the American soldiers were videotaped doing. Were you their commanding officer, perchance?
Sadly, no. As a left-wing nut ™ who wants to force abortions on the unsuspecting populace, I don’t support the troops in anyway shape or form. I, in fact, make many jokes at there expense because it’s their fault for joining in the first place.
you mean you don’t support them when they’re forcing abortions on those dirty a-rabs as part of a satanic ritual meant to increase obama’s anti-christual powers?
.
i’m shocked at your lack of patriotism!
I’m a liberal, while I agree with the forced abortions, the lack of patriotism is par for the course. I am greatly embarassed about using the wrong “there” up above, however. Drinking the blood of innocents is one thing, but incorrect grammar is completely beyond the pale.
People do nasty things in war. Some people are stupid enough to photograph themselves doing it and send it home to mom for her to enjoy…
I think you’ll find the Americans have no monopoly on nasty crap, just more of it in the 20th Century than most. I think that’s down to the fact that in the 18th C they were slotting Brits, in the 19th C they were slotting each other (and starving them in camps) when not killing the aboriginals and writing worthless bits of paper giving people their own damned land…
Basically, the 20th C is the first time they’ve had to take it out to the international stage… their hand in the partition of the Ottoman Empire and the screw up that became over oily sand, the whole re-enactment of the American Land Grab from the amerind replayed in Israel, attempts at Empire in Korea, Vietnam etc… the long Great Game in Afghanistan against the Russian, when all the sane players had left the Afghan waste to Russians. Finally the current adventure in the Middle East, that’s left the place Hell on earth and likely to result in a Wahabist-Islamic hegemony. I think my personal favourite memory is the amount of money it cost to get them into WWII… I don’t see I should be grateful they came in… they were paid.
now i’m the one who’s embarrased. i of course meant
atheist/communist/socialist/islamic/stanic (we’ve got to
get a shorter name) patriotism.
i’m sorry for the confusion…
hey, if we abbreviate, it would be acsis. we can the the acsis of evil!
Well said Fester, war is never pretty. What is necessary to subvert humanity’s survival instinct and psych large groups of people up to kill other large groups of people often lead to actions that are reprehensible, sadly.
Being British, I learned that one early…
@ Iowasucks: “stanic”? You mean there’s actually a cult that worships Stan Lee? Hail Stan!
Yuo mean there are people who don’t worship Stan?
Yeah, lots of ‘em worship Cartman.
Respect mah authoritay!!
ah, a slip of the finger (shaddup).
that was funny. i too worship stan!
Ok, I actually like ACSIS of Evil, and this IowaSucks is getting
old, so I think from now on, I’m going to be know as acsis.
- acsis, the stanic formerly know as IowaSucks
Cartman is a given… but STAN?
Well, there are those of us who support all things TIMMEH!
You know, I have Cartman on my refrigerator, you’d think I could
actually remember his name is Eric.
I stand by my worship of Stan however.

It does suck up the blood better than anything I’ve tried.
oh! is that what those ’sham wows’ are made of?
LMAO!! ASCIS/Iowa is my hero! ♥ ♥ ♥
I know, right?!
Well, minus three weeks, but better late than
never.
Haha. Well, weird gushing aside (thanks, I think
), at the risk of giving something away, you’ve inspired me 
I’m amusing *and* a muse?
My lucky day, indeed!
I’m getting a deja vu… now that I think of it, I HAVE seen this kind of lol about 20 times here on pundit. sure, people are psyched, but it’s bordering on obsession around here O_O get a move on, tyvm
[link]
My take on the picture…
Yeah, yours is better.
Agreed.
its not just here. Washington reporter who had worked in washington for 10 years jumped over a barrier to ask him for his autograph “for his kid”. Get over him people hes just another liberal
“hes just another liberal” – and Reagan was “just another conservative.”
And THAT’s what has you Republicans about pissing your pants. Like Reagan, Obama has energized a generation. Reagan’s impact on politics lasted far longer than his presidency. If Obama’s impact is as strong as Reagan’s, y’all are gonna be pretty marginalized for the next twenty years.
Better stock up on Depends.
Nothing to see here, just another bitter right winger….
Bitterly clinging to his guns and religion?
/ba-dum tish
(Sorry. Couldn’t resist.)
It’s an accurate image…
I’ve often suspected that people were so upset about that comment because it was true, if not very politically correct.
No, there was outrage from the cons for the same reason libs feel outraged about being generalized and stereotyped. I live in a TINY town and cling neither to guns nor religion. Just because I’m small town America and make a lot less than those who live in the city doesn’t mean I’m a bitter gun-clinger and bible-humper, and I prefer to not be stereotyped as such.
Not to mention that not everyone who is religious and/or a gun owner is bitter or paranoid.
Hhh. Sorry to be exclusionary — I should have stipulated that I actually do own a gun and a bible, but I have neither clung to nor humped either one (at least while sober).
Me, too, and neither have I…
Everyone?
I’m sorry, I was having so much fun being Evil Jane today.
No worries, it’s all good …
Just know that we DO exist (kinda like the M&Ms and Santa commercial).
Actually meeting someone such as me would probably make you all faint!
*raises hand*
I’ve been here a while, dear. They’ve met one of us
And here I thought all the gun porn you sent me was real… My world is a lie!!! T_T
There there, dear. I have some puppy porn if you want it.
Now you’re just teasing me…
I’m pretty liberal, but I think we should cling to our guns. At least it allows republicans to serve one useful purpose. It’s the only civil right they believe in, I’m all for letting them fight for that one while we’re trying to get back the ones Bush ignored.
Oh please. That cheap Chicago grifter isn’t trying to fix shit.
He’s the most scandal ridden pResident in recent memory and he’s not even been in office a month. Seven appointees have already either withdrawn nominations or are permanently tainted.
Let’s not forget that Geithner (yes, THAT appointee!) is a tax cheat.
Jesus wept.
Interesting that you assume that the zombie carpenter shares your politics, but he was all about -helping- the poor, not shafting them.
Based on the books, the Jewish Zombie was a Communist.
Yes, I remember that from the Undead Sea Scrolls…
Take this, all of you, and eat it. It is my… BWAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIINNNNSSS
Can’t think of a comeback, but this is too kewl!
We missed ya, Janie! *hugs*
Awww, thankies. Childhood catholicism (sp?) and a love/hate relationship with Zombie movies make a weird mix sometimes.
and the difference between the two would be….?
That is a fair point. I will say my abject fear of nuns and zombies is roughly equal.
I believe I recalled my quirk about zombies before so I sympathize but you already knew that…
My mother thinks my irrational fear of both zombies and nuns is hilarious. The only difference is that I occasionally run into nuns and have to deal with them. I hate when they come into the store, I always think that if I can’t find the book they want they’re going to condemn me to hell. That or make me stay in from recess, it amounts to the same thing.
It is perfectly rational to be spooked by fetid and vicious creatures… And zombies.
The zombie carpenter at least paid His taxes.
and the government still nailed him to a tree…
A message for all there…
Wow.
And it’s true too.
@forge – don’t forget the death and destruction caused by GW and “Dick” Cheney and their henchpersons in support of the war they lied us into in Iraq. Well, maybe lied is too strong a word. Maybe we were just misdirected. While we were misunderestimating them.
Rove never gets any love…
If they’d sent the mo-fo to the right jail, he would have…
And we haven’t even gotten around to the torturing of our detainees and the warrantless wiretapping of millions of Americans…
I assume you mean 24/7/52, unless you have a 365-week calendar.
-
Totally agree with everything else there, Forge.
-
Personally, my opnion is that several of Obama’s nominees resigned for one or more of the following reasons:
-
1) The Obama campaign has shown how the Internet continues to push the boundaries of transparency. It’s getting more and more difficult to GET a cabinet position if you have skeletons in your closet. Obama knows that everyone has them, so he defends his appointees ANYWAY, but he does it in the light of day. Some nominees just don’t want to be exposed anyway.
-
2) This administration is taking the helm at a really nasty time for our country. It takes some serious *ahem* gumption to WANT a job in an administration that will either be lauded for it’s Great Solution, or completely villified for Failure to Act. You KNOW it will be all black and white for people until 30 years of history start to show the shades of gray. Not every nominee is prepared for that level of adventure.
-
3) I think some of them were talented, but actually have genuine philosophical differences with Obama and his buds. Obama sees the value in having contrary opinions around, but it’s not *always* valuable, and the one who is the “contrary opinion” doesn’t usually like having to fight what he or she sees as uphill battles every single day. That’s a tough job that not everyone wants.
-
Of course, my opinion is probably worth what you paid for it.
too bad he’ll only make it worse
Worse for the Republicans, yes. You guys won’t see office until 2016 at best.
Heh, they’ll be electing Democratic post-office workers before they put another Republican up there…
Nothing wrong with post-office workers — practically every president has worked in a government position at one time or another.
True this; I’m just saying they’re gonna have to be pulling Democrats out of the nooks and crannies ‘cuz soon there’s nobody that’s going to elect a Republican. I think the real Conservatives are gonna have to form a new party and screw the obstructionist corrupt crybaby Fundo-fascists permanently.
Define ‘real’ Conservatives… the ones who seem to think the only laws are biblical, or do you mean Fiscal Conservatives who figure social mores can sort themselves out?
Yeah, those. Government really has no place trying to arbitrate morality or “values.” Render unto Caesar and like that.
Yup, they need a party of their own…
I’m not a republican. But yeah, he’ll make it worse because we’ll no longer have a free market or freedom for that matter. Everything you ‘need’ will be supplied by Uncle Sugar. You don’t need rights. Uncle Sugar will take care of you. You don’t need to see a doctor when you want to. Uncle Sugar will decide that for you. You don’t need to work to become successful. Everyone will be peasants, just like you. Of course, those who are closest to the inner circle are the only ones who will be outside of the peasantry… Move along, nothing to see here. Just stay asleep and keep drinking the kool-aid.
You should probably stick with Rapture Ready. You’re outclassed and outsmarted up here.
Are you not a Republican because the party is too liberal for you?
Geez! Grow a brain already…
*whispers* Who’s “Uncle Sugar”? I don’t have my right-wing nutjob talking points up to date.
It’s hard to translate from troll to English, but I think s/he’s
diabetic…
Does s/he go door to door asking if s/he can talk to you about your sugar intake and handing out copies of Sugar Busters?
*killing the joke* Uncle Sugar, as in Sugar Daddy. Pretty much our rich benefactor that treats us like pets and tends to our needs when he says we have them.
Least that was my idiot to American English translation.
That’s okay, it was half an inside joke anyway. On of my coworkers came back from the doctor’s office and was told he was diabetic. He freaked out for about a week and then fully embraced the lifestyle. We joked that he had converted to a new religion because he would preach about the evils of potatoes and corn (which is REALLY ridiculous because I live in Indiana and corn is given here in the summer) and try and pawn sugar free snacks off on us. Scientolagists have “Dianetics”, my coworker had “Diabetics”. When we told him this he was the one that said, “I’d like to talk to you about potatoes, here’s a free copy of Sugar Busters.”
Aha, very delightful. Thanks for the update.
Hey, Jane, I get the joke, and you know I’m not a care troll, but being diagnosed as diabetic is totally not the same: we don’t want to save your soul and procure you a planet, we want to make sure your body stays healthy throughout your life so you don’t end up like us. Plus it makes it easier and we really do feel better when those around us support our cause. My family is genetically prone to Type 1 and 2 (I’m the Type 2 you’d never expect — diagnosed shortly after my 19th birthday and skinny as a rail at the time), and have to insulate myself (that’s our anti-sugar joke) and my daughter regularly from the powers of the simple sugars and the carbs.
Just sayin’.
Aunt Jemima’s husband?
I thought she was married to Uncle Ben, the bigamous hussy!
I think she and Ben got divorced shortly after he decided to become the ‘San Francisco Treat’.
I hear he is with some vegan dude who wears tight pants now…
Yes, he was formerly known as Sugar Pops Pete. [Link]
It seems that Kellogg’s had kept him sugared up for years in order to keep him under contract. That’s how he first met Uncle Sugar aka, Uncle Ben. Uncle Sugar was Kellogg’s supplier.
If duct tape cant fix it … it’s broke!
I guess his meaning behind “Hope” and “Change” meant, “Nothing will change, and hope nobody will notice.”
EPIC WIN!
hope and change just means we will finally be free of republican bs
Not true — republicans aren’t going away, they’re just not in the White House.
Nothing that evil ever dies…
LMAO! And you think the Domcrats are that much better? Politics aside, don’t you realize they’re all cut from the same cloth?
Great caption, very much on the mark.
Except for the fact that duct tape is a shirt-term fix — one still must go back and find a solution for a permanent fix.
I know it’s a lol, just saying.
*short (hah)
The temporary solution usually becomes the final solution…
My point exactly.
i see your point, i’m just amused since the things i have ducktaped have far outlasted most other things that I own….except my gameboy. that thing is a brick.
That and JB Weld. I knew a guy wot put that stuff on a cracked block in an old 409 pickup truck and went another 100,000 miles with it. Holy moley!!
*adores JB Weld*
I duct taped the back of my cell phone on in 2006, and it’s still going strong. *shrug*
It’s better than chewing gum, anyway.
Precisely how so? By not doing it the way it’s been done since 1980?
“Sorry, more like he’s fscking it up even worse.” Would you care to elaborate? You can’t just make a blanket statement like that without providing some example of how he’s fscking it up.
-
Now that there’s a Democratic president and Congress, let’s just wait see how much he really is able to fix. I’m at least giving him the benefit of the doubt. After all, he hasn’t even been in office for a month, so you surely don’t expect things to change THAT quickly? It took Reagan some time to fix the mess that Carter left. Let’s at least give the same consideration to Obama.
*hugs from the left wing nut job*
Thank you, you ol’ fair dude!
Back at ya, kiddo! If nothing else, I’ll give him 6 months before I start nitpicking.
I’ll cut you loose if you get too twitchy at 5 months.
LOL! You know me better than that. I’ll bide my time, trust me.. And for the record, if in 6 months time it looks like Obama is actually making some headway on cleaning but Bush’s mess, I will be one of the first Republicans here to give him kudos.
That’s ‘cuz you’re a Republican wot has a brain.
A Republican with a brain? Come on, that’s just a myth like ‘all you can eat buffet’ and ‘jumbo-shrimp’.

Now, now. I’d go with “honest politician” on this one.
Up with ‘cheap accountant’
Or “approachable academian.”
I’ve known a lot of them…
Good to know a stereotype can be just that. How about the ultimate –
“Military Intelligence?”
Varies wildly… usually inversely with rank above Captain
Granted.
“Government organization?”
Oxymoron
Wait — isn’t that Billy Mays?
I always did have a mistrust for the REMF’s..
he’s likely not reading y’know. They hit and run from reason or somethin’….
“cut and run?”
It took eight years to eff it up in the first place. He hasn’t been in charge for eight weeks.
And I doubt it can get any worse. Unless you’re rich and have been rolling around in tax cuts for the better part of this decade…
More like, “Because I CAN, Motherf*$^er!” So much for putting pending legislation up on the website for two or three days so the public can read it and respond – guess that’s once term limits are eliminated. This 1100 pages, not a one of them even read it (except the bits and earmarks they sneaked in) – kinda like the Patriot Act only with a trillion dollars.
Again, they’d have to work for aeons to get anywhere near what the Bush administration spent. There’s an entire school of economics that says you don’t fix a broken economy without spending some money. So we’ll spend some money – again, still only a tiny fraction of what Bush spent killing brown people all over the world – and see what happens. At least some kids might get new school books or heaven forbid, not starve or freeze next winter.
While your busy laying blame at the feet of Bush, please feel free to set a bit aside for Congress. They weren’t much help either y’know. It makes no difference whether they’re Republican or Democrat, they were all in bed together and must share the blame equally. After all, Bush can only spend what Congress approves, and visa versa.
Oh yeah, I know, but they were really only little elves in Bush’s workshop. If Pelosi and Reid were suddenly and unexpectedly dropped off a cliff I’d have to take the whole following week off work ‘cuz I wouldn’t be able to quit drinking.
Damn, got me on that one.. I’d probably join ya!
And all the mortgages will be paid, and all the gas tanks will be full of gas.

Because no one would expect that.
And in the silence that follows, one tearful child finally speaks up…
“but Santa! WHY?”
(I know it was a Python ref, but above is what ran through my mind)
I was thinking of MP’s reference to the Grim Reaper and nobody at the table giving a stuff!
“It was… the salmon mousse.”
LOL!
But I didn’t eat the salmon!
You’ve never actually stated an alternative solution that wouldn’t result in a financial monopoly, which is one of the two equilibrium points in laissez faire anarcho-capitalist systems…
I really don’t approve of the bailout, mostly because it’s giving money to people who’ve established they’re too corrupt or inept to be allowed anything sharp, let alone the keys to the kingdom. However, there are no solutions that don’t involve either chaos today and monopoly/cartel tomorrow, or hell down the road aways…
In the end, the duct tape solution at least promises something like market choice down the line for a while, but is introducing a load of noise in a dynamical (sic) system that sometime, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon, will cause the system to run wild in some way that is almost impossible to predict, beyond it will be uncontrollable and violent.
Damn, that was refreshingly coherent. I wish you were on some of the other boards I frequent – they could use some (apparently no-so-common sense).
I spent a chunk of the early 90s with my nose in the Santa Fe Institute
Studies in the Science of Complexity, specitifcally Volume 5 ‘The
Economy as an Evolving Complex System’
Blows the Austrian School out of the water…
A mosquito fart could blow the Austrian School out of the water. It exists only to assuage the conscience of rich pricks the world over. It is not science, it is propaganda. Nobody has ever gone broke telling rich pricks that they are good people.
So you’re saying I need a new profession?
I can’t say I agree wholly.
It works for ‘Widget’ economies, until the system stabilises as a
cartel or a monopoly.
I didn’t get that message at all from the LOL. Are you addressing the LOL or
someone’s comment above?
whoops, the nesting. Yeah, I’m going at all the people who are saying he hasn’t changed anything, or that imply he thinks he can magically fix stuff. If you listen to the first half a minute or so of his weekly addresses they always are sure to emphasize that it will be a challenge. He even pulled the Kennedy “Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks.” Not the words of a man promising a cakewalk.
“Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle, but you shall be the miracle.” Actually, the quote is attributed to Phillips Brooks. But that’s ok, it’s still a powerfull quote regardless of who said it!
It tastes better if it’s not the dead, womanising, privileged paddy, at least to me it does…
If we’re throwing quotes out there attributed to Kennedy, how about this little gem: “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.” That means so much more than people give it credit for. Depending on the government for everything is where we fail.

And the first ten trillion of that didn’t come from “those libs.” In fact, over five trillion of it came from Bush.

Time to sit back down.
I honestly don’t see what everyone is so upset about. i found this picture funny and i laughed. why is everyone so upset?
Butt hurt retards who who keep posting nothing but sound bite, or cut and paste Limbaugh transcript…
Fiscal conservatives didn’t like it under Bush, and they don’t like it under Obama. Moderates and liberals were worried about it under Bush because he was a retard and likely to screw it up. Also, with the ‘pubbies in power, any legislation was likely to favor oil-barons and other corporate screw-ups at the expense of average Americans. While this is still very much a concern, we feel a little better having an intellectual at the helm.
…with big ears, and more likely to use them.
wasn’t that a ZZ-Top song
#He got ears,
he knows how to use them#
Yeah, and we know how useful intellectual elitism has served us in years past. Whew, we’re so better off now.
Well, good ol’ boy anti-intellectualism has been infinitely worse…
You ever notice how only really, really stupid people use the term ‘intellectual elitism’ in a serious debate? No, I thought not.
So you’re saying that the rule of the idiot was better? Let’s see… Intellectual Elitism is how the country was founded, by great, wait for it, Thinkers. The advances that allow you to complain about people smarter than you was brought to you by, you guessed it, those intellectually elite folks. The way you are able to eat and wear clothes at night wasn’t invented by cretins hammering their dicks into the ground. They were developed and perfected by people with sharp minds, maybe not always geniuses but still sharp minds. Those intellectually elite are the reason you aren’t living under a rock, dullard.
So yes, we suffer when an idiot is at the helm. /troll baiting
BY they Way America, that duct tape is going to cost the ones of you who are working and not super rich with tax loopholes like me around about $787 billion, and it isn’t going to fix anything, but you just remember who won that election, and you know if you don’t support my spending then you are being bi-partisan!

$787 billion?
Wow, way to make up an unrealistic number…
Aha, morning fail on me. I know where you got the number however I am curious why you would word it to make people believe you have tax loopholes that equal 787 billion…
It also never ceases to amaze me how people think that something that “costs the gov’t 787B” actually means the taxpayers will pay 787B. But that’s not how tax cuts work.
-
If you cut taxes, it costs the GOV’T some income, but it leaves the money in OUR hot little hands. So it doesn’t cost US ANYTHING. Quite the opposite.
-
That’s simple addition and subtraction, folks. Granted, the *rest* of the bill is more complicated, but the tax cuts were a significant portion of the bill, and tax cuts DO NOT COST TAXPAYERS MONEY. That is the WHOLE POINT of cutting taxes.

Insert long and boring debate on whether or not the tax cuts will be *effective*, which is a completely different and much more ambiguous topic….

Tax cuts put the money into our ‘hot little hands’, as you so eloquently put it, thereby leaving us money to spend in the economy and drive things like restaurants, gas stations, merchandising, retail, and other places that employ people. Tax cuts are always a good idea……(and there is another verse to that, but I’ll leave it to those better able to argue to sing that other verse
)
Issue is, it’s not the money in our hot little hands that is the
issue, but in the bulging (on paper) coffers of the banks, who
stopped extending each other lines of credit, since they
suddenly realised that they were screwing each other with with
more abandon than people at a party thrown by Freddie Mercury,
Gaius Caligula, and Alexandre Borgia combined…
In the UK we had a parallel ’scandal’ to the ’sub prime’ in the
‘Endowment mortgage’ scandal, where people were sold an
‘investment’ policy along with the mortgage, with the assurance
that ‘the market always rises, so based on our projections you’ll
get the capital you owe us, plus a few grand spenders when the
policy matures’ Basically, you were sold a mortgage that you
actually couldn’t afford to clear the capital debt on, but with a
’safety net’ that,while the small print told you may not perform
as predicted, the nice man in the suit told you almost certainly
would. For the record, I took the offer since it meant I’d get a
reduced interest rate for the first 4 years, after which I planned
to swap to a standard repayment mortgage, if the interest only
option (but I was paying in lump sums to decrease capital)
continued to leave more money in my pocket. I finally switched
to repayment (CAT standard) in 01, after a few years of warning
that the endowment wouldn’t cover anything like the capital I’d
borrowed (the switch took my mortgage from 15 years
remaining to 11). In Aug 08 I cashed up my endowment and,
with paperwork) closed my mortgage October 4th.
Thing is, if the banks were misselling securities to other banks,
then one can only imagine what they’d be selling to Joes who
think they know what they’re doing, but really just get sold a
pig in a poke by a shyster in a suit who probably sells mobile phone
contracts now…
Ok, election’s over. Can we stop pretending Obama’s smart or qualified now? Seriously, He looks Dan Quayle look good.
OK, now spell the common name of a nightshade plant domesticated for its edible underground stems…
Kranix = sore loser. Let it go or you’re going to spend the next four (or eight!) years as a bitter obstructionist.
