  1. lowly grunt says:

    Back atcha, Harry!

  2. that would be because nothing else IS on his mind…

  3. No one interesting says:

    And another misspelled lol.
    “thier” rilly gr8 aht puhndit kichin.

  4. Jane St.Clair says:

    This reminds me of when I was a kid and we’d do something to piss my mom off and she’d say, “bring your face over here” which you NEVER wanted to do ’cause that meant she was gonna smack you, except if you didn’t do it you’d get in trouble for disobeying.

    • lowly grunt says:

      Wow. Rock and a hard place, huh?
      Or hard hand….

      My mother used to say, “Stop your crying or I’ll give you something to cry about!” Which worked when I was young because it terrified me and worked when I got older because it confused me.

      But I’m feeling much better now.

      • Uncle Fester says:

        look on the birght side… when it comes to ‘care home’ time, revenge can be high on the menu…

      • Jane St.Clair says:

        Yeah, my mom was a fan of that one too. Also, “I brought you in to this world, I can take you out!”

        • Uncle Fester says:

          I’d have been afraid if my mother had made that threat…

          • Jane St.Clair says:

            From what I understand of her, that would have been a resonable response… It also wouldn’t have been an inappropriate response if she had said, “Would you like another cookie?” or “How was your day?”

        • AC says:

          I never got death threats… But threatening to wash my mouth out with soap worked for her…. she actually did it once. (me and my sister were bickering)

          • Jane St.Clair says:

            My mother is a short woman whose children all quickly surpassed her in height. Psychological warfare was her only recourse. ;)

            • AC says:

              Nowadays Dad just threatens to switch off the wireless internet connection…
              Years ago, a punishment was a book ban. Didn’t work. (You can hide books EVERYWHERE)

              • Jane St.Clair says:

                Oooooooo, my dad wanted to ban my books once (my grades were horrible due to me blowing of homework in favor of reading) and my mom put her foot down because she was worried such a move would discourage my love of reading. Go Mom!

                • AC says:

                  Charlie is capable of being so mean? *gasps*
                  But yeah, well done to your mother.
                  In our house, it was my Mum’s idea (My head was “too full of hobbits” apparently) and Dad just went along with it. The book-sized space between the ottoman and the wall saved me there. Lol.
                  They thought about it again later but my kindly teacher insisted that they didn’t. :)
                  And yeah, I homework’s not my top priority. I had Captain Corelli’s Mandolin labelled as “the book I failed higher maths for” but then I didn’t fail so twas all good.

                  • Jane St.Clair says:

                    When Charlie manages to notice a problem he goes all strict disciplinarian on you. I think it’s the officer training. The problem is he tends to make grand blanket statments because he just wants the problem solved and never wants to deal with it again. For example, to my brother, “you’re never using the car ever again!” to which my brother waited a few hours and then quietly went, “hey mom, can I go out Saturday night?”

              • Jocasta says:

                When I still lived at home, my stepfather did that.

                Of course, it was useless, since we lived in the city.

  5. flip says:

    Oh, harry, you’re such a nard.

  6. Bob Lees says:

    That is one badly photoshoped pic. Not even Reids hand, pathetic fail

  7. Bubbaloo says:

    Miserable fail.

    Thier.

    Photoshopped.

    Not even funny. =(

    • Musicmom870 says:

      What is up with the voting page?? The past few times I’ve tried to vote there’s only been 3 or 4 to vote on, and now it says there are none!!
      If you think you can do a better one, please try!

    • Matt11 says:

      I take no responsibility for the fact that it’s photoshopped.

      I also don’t give a shit.

      Typos happen, and you’re mighty proud for someone that speeks in. single. word. sentences.

      Oh, and I didn’t inhale. Yeash.

  8. minerva146 says:

    Maybe ’shopped…ooooorrrrrr…. maybe he’s just PO’d because Pat Leahy got to be in The Dark Knight instead of him… :D LOL

    • No one interesting says:

      Granted the dude is reprehensible but I could ’shop some really funny Biden/Cheney sadomasochistic orgy session facial expressions that you’d all vote on, too. Anybody with an Adobe program can make a picture look funny; it takes real wit to caption one and make it funny.
      A ’shop is a ’shop.
      Just sayin.

    • PortlandMark says:

      Apparently Leahy makes a habit of appearing in Batman movies and donating the proceeds to the library he went to when he was a kid. Yay Patrick!

  9. iris says:

    if he’d only done that to w…..

  10. Saint says:

    nothing says “f**k you” like flipping someone the bird with SOMEONE ELSE’S hand.. i man, that is really hardcore hate…

  11. shin0bi272 says:

    wow amazing … punditkitchen finally puts up a democrat photo that almost illustrates the liberal’s true feelings for Americans and its …. fake! *gasp*

    I made up a LOL with biden that was really funny but of course it didnt make it on the front page because its something even remotely negative against democrats…

    Srsly if you wanted to do something funny mr original poster you should have done a split screen with this douche bag and pres bush both giving the finger. The caption could have gone like hey “George F%&k YOU!” under Reed and “Right back at ‘cha Harry” under bush. Then it would have been funnier.

    • Uncle Fester says:

      butt hurt bitter right winger who thinks he’s ‘funny’ is butt hurt and bitter…

      • slan agat says:

        And thinks he’s funny.

        And what does this demonstrate, class? That wingers are so desperate for anything to rebut the notion that they DESERVED TO LOSE, that they’ll resort to cheap-arse shop jobs and then whine when they get caught out.

        • shin0bi272 says:

          much like the 8 years of bullshit we had to listen to about Bush? From “He’s not my president” to complaints about deficit spending and the tax cuts “costing too much”. Then the democrats take back over and what do they do? they spend more money than this country spent its first 200 years in existence in 1 month! I could give a damn about mccain losing. He wasnt any better than obama policy wise so its 6 of one half dozen of the other. What pisses me off is that people back obama for one of 3 main reasons. 1) hes a democrat 2) hes black 3) they hate republicans. The problem I have with that is that you are voting for the leader of this country based on who’s the better looking candidate or who has a D or an R behind their name not on the actual policies they want to implement. No its not all your fault either … youve been force fed the news from the left for your entire lives and you actually think that government control is a good thing. There was a gallup ( i think) poll out that said that people were in favor of nationalized health care and other services but were also afraid of government controlling their lives. I blame the public schools.

          • Uncle Fester says:

            I don’t think anyone here ‘hates’ Republicans, I just think that most people think they’re a heady mixture of stupid, corrupt and inept…
            Now, I’m not saying that the Dems have much over that, but really,
            when the banks are profligately screwing each other the the point
            on YOUR watch, while you’re pushing the ‘everyone should be a
            home owner’ view, and also being a cretin when it comes to
            sticking your buddies in positions for which they’re not qualified, I’d say I’d take a big steaming cup of STFU…
            -
            since you seem to think you have ideas, there, Boy-idiot, tell me the alternative to the banking bail out that won’t result in a monopoly or a cartel?

            • Uncle Fester says:

              * – that should read:-
              when the banks are profligately screwing each other to the point they refuse to deal with each other on YOUR watch…

              mind got ahead of fingers…

            • shin0bi272 says:

              first of all dont call me an idiot when you yourself have no solutions. Read the constitution… Article 1 section 8. It defines what the government is allowed to spend money on. In his letter to Albert Gallatin, Thomas Jefferon (you know the guy who wrote the constitution) said “Congress has not unlimited powers to provide for the general welfare, but only those specifically enumerated.”
              –Thomas Jefferson, 1817. The 9th and 10th Amendments specifically say that government has only the powers enumerated in the constitution.

              It is not the federal governments job to secure and/or guarantee the success of any private company or individual. The federal government under the helm of Jimmy Carter signed the community reinvestment act which (in case you hadnt heard) is what forced mortgage lenders to give loans to people who couldnt afford a house. That took years to actually cause a problem and the day it started to become a problem those foreclosures started to affect the other homes values around them. I live in NC and in my area the price of homes went up in the 4th quarter here. But I digress… with over 95% of all mortgages being paid on time the media and government are blowing this out of proportion and bailing out or loaning money to people who made poor decisions in the first place. Money that the government isn’t allowed to spend according to the constitution.

              Pres Bush said in 2001 and 2004 that fannie mae and freddie mac were going to be a problem. In 2004 the senate banking committee brought up a way to change the way fannie and freddie did business and possibly head off a lot of this mess but the 8 democrats on the 16 member panel voted against the changes so it failed in committee. Then we have barney frank saying that he thought “we were looking at 2 more or less sound institutions”… then hey look what happens … 4 years later and it all comes apart and we find out that some of those 8 democrats were taking money from fannie mae and freddie mac.

              The stock market tumbles when banks who loaned fannie and freddie money start to have problems and go under (why werent they bailed out???) or be bought out. Then the messiah gets elected and says he plans to spend a trillion dollars and the stock market falls even farther. When that whole BS Tarp plan (again unconstitutional and a bad idea) the stock market fell 6%. When obama took office the stock market took a 12% dive… its lost more points since obama has been unveiling his plans than it ever did during Bush.

              So if you are done calling people names why dont you come up with some ideas instead of being an infantile jerk?

            • shin0bi272 says:

              Oh and if you want ideas… how about we cut spending and then cut taxes instead of pandering to every person and business that is having a hard time? Since the people who make over 150,000/yr pay over 90% of the countries taxes and all. Then maybe we could raise tariffs so that goods from china arent necessarily cheaper to buy so that Americans might just have a chance to buy an american product at a competitive price? That higher tariff might also go to help the debt too.

      • shin0bi272 says:

        I guess you didnt have any sort of witty retort for my previous comment so I’ll give you some more stuff to think about. When Pres Taft was informed that his income taxes were unconstitutional because they were direct taxes and not apportioned like it says in article 1 section 8 of the constitution, he went and proposed the 16th amendment to be able to tax people on any source of income. He proposed this and it passed because like today the government painted the rich as being evil power brokers who had all the money and needed to be brought to justice via government control. Sort of like how the news media portrays the rich today as “not paying their fair share” when they are paying almost all of the taxes as it is. The top 1% of the people in this country are those making 388,000 or more as of 2008. Those 1% pay 40% of all the taxes but they only account for 22% of the income in this country. But we still get stories about how the gap between the wealthy and the poor is so huge that the government has to step in and save the poor people from the evil rich people. And to give you a better idea of how much money they pay in taxes first try to imagine having 40% of your paycheck taken from you every week (assuming youre employed right now or have ever been). Thats what rich people go through every week… what would be considered theft under any other circumstances, of their money from them to pay for people like you and I to retire and have medicare and prescription drugs and roads to drive on and a military to defend us. Now look at the fact that the constitution says that the only thing that the government is supposed to be spending its money on (which is really the people’s money that they take from us) is defense and paying of the national debt. When you have a minute go look up the federal budget… I believe theres a wiki for it from 2008 that has a pie chart to illustrate what percentage and amount got spent on what programs. you’ll see that the military was 16.4% i think it was and the paying of interest on the national debt was like 2 or 3%. The rest of their budget (FY 2008 was the first budget passed with over 3 trillion dollars in spending and that was BEFORE the TARP money ans any bailouts were spent) went to social programs with social security taking 20% of the budget. Thats 20% of 3 trillion dollars! If you took out all the social programs and things that are unconstitutional from the budget and spent all that 3 trillion on paying of the national debt this country would be out of debt in about 5-6 years. The only other time that this country has been out of debt is under pres Jackson and he did that by selling federal land.

      Ha.
      Ha.
      Ha.
      I think the above “joke” demonstrates the reason none of your lols are here…
