No, I don’t stalk.
Alternate – “It’s 1980 – do you know when your expiration date is”?
Just sayin’.
“It’s always happy hour SOMEWHERE!!”
Obama must really be in trouble- now they’re pulling up pictures of Reagan to LOL….
weeellll, somebody gives himself a superwedgie when ever bush comes up….
um…. damn, them obots are kinky…
Must be tough being a rich white guy in power. :-/
I thought you were a world citizen. Seems to be a lot of non white, rich powerful people, outside of North America and Europe.
Some people just can’t wake up to the times. Last I checked, we have a black man in our top office. And, Nanci Pelosi is 3rd in line and controls the House. But, nothing will change VNV’s thinking. Some people still believe, and always will, that we live in the early 1900s.
That’s just what THEY want you to believe. The real powers — and only true believers know who they are — are always rich, old, white, and male.
Good point Dhoti.
Wow, I never thought I’d see the day when Dhoti broke away from the Party of Hate to agree with YOU, of all people! *gasp*
“Party of Hate”? LOL!
Let me see — which party has instructed me to hate, in turn, talk radio hosts; bankers; insurance companies; peaceful protesters; insurance companies again…
Everyone wants you to hate. Its a way to keep you distracted.
Sorry, but what led you to believe that I suddenly started taking you seriously?
Go spout somewhere else on the taxpayers’ dime, little troll.
Did something about me telling you to hate lead you to believe I was bonding with you? You are mistaken. I wouldn’t expect you to take me seriously, because you are too distracted with that hate I just spoke of. Why do you think I spoke of it? So… I think I will spout right here, and you will just have to deal with it. Nub.
Right — the only reason I don’t realize you’re as insightful as you do is because those evil capitali$t$ told me to hate you. (You, specifically. At least I think so — Phil Anschutz kept talking about “that hippie kid with the alien dick”.)
But I love that you think that.
Only you can decide to hate, and you have. Your loss. Not mine, and not PKs.
I’m really loving this pseudo-psychoanalytical thing you’ve got going today. Hilarious.
Please, stroke your ego some more…
You strike my ego by your responses!
Freudian slip. Yes, that’s the point.
True believers? Does it require belief?
When you reach the point where it’s true a priori, then yes, it does.
Actually, I was referring to the lol. You know, that photograph above these posts. After the idiot responses I looked up and tried my best to find a black guy in that picture. Or even a woman. Seems all I saw is wealthy white guys, drinking and laughing. So… my post was in reference to the picture… and you’re…. an idiot.
Some law against white guys drinking and laughing together?
I don’t think this has anything to do with my comment.
Possibly…
Don’t see how, other than you used the terms “white” and “guy”.
Also, drinking as well as laughing and and.
Last I checked, this was a humor site. And if you’ll look at the frigging lol VNV was commenting on, they are all rich, white guys, which made his comment funny.
Geez.
Thank you!
When rich, powerful white guys laugh like that, I fear for us all.
Isn’t that Walter Cronkite on the left ( no pun intended)?
Wait a minute, typical rich, white guys!
Right on! When will whitey do righty?
You know, they say talking to yourself isn’t a sign you’ve got a problem, but answering yourself might be…
No Diss, those are type of things said by Obama and Lowery (for Obama’s benediction , of all things, his administration couldnt make it through the inauguration without racism.)
I do find myself talking to myself more lately. I hope its just one of these middle age things.
Lol…probably.
Me too.
I’ve been told by a number of my supervisors/bosses that talking to the books is perfectly normal at a book store/library.
It’s only if the books start talking back do I need to worry.
See, I knew this, but something about reading it put out there bluntly in print made me say, “Oh, fvck!” and consider hiding under my desk. I think Pelosi may have edged up past clowns in the Things That Scare the Fvck out of Diss List.
I think Hillary is 4th, isn’t she?
Just think, Diss, the only way for Pelosi to get her gnarled hands on the Thrown of Powah, Obama and Biden would have to drop dead at the same moment. Which reminds me, I need to send them a note and remind them to have tasters for their food….
Yeah, that might not be a bad idea. (Joe, Barack, don’t turn your back on her or let her have sharp objects!)
Don’t worry — Biden’s personal ninja squad (now that his ridiculous “My First Central Asian War Plan” was shot down, they need something to do) can keep an eye on her.
(I keep trying to link to this picture of Pelosi in clown makeup, but the board keeps eating it. Fancy that.)
It must be the official ICHC Don’t Actually Give Diss a Fvcking Heart Attack Filter.
(Thanks, guys!)
Gil Grisson: “How did the President and Vice President both manage to trip and fall on this knife 37 times each?”
Pelosi: “I dunno. It looks like an accident to me.”
Pelosi: “Must have been Putin.”
Don’t laugh. It probably was.
I think Obama is exactly the kind of guy Putin wants in the White House right now. We’ll see if that changes.
I’m not sure about that. Not that I trust Putin! I really do not trust that man. But I haven’t figured out what Putin’s idea US prez would be.
On the other hand, Bin Ladin’s idea prez was Bush II. He was hoping that we would invade Iraq and Afghanistan, and get mired there. I’m glad that Iraq did not turn out the way that Bin Ladin had hoped. Still nervous about Afghanistan.
It’s a nice talking point (if a little dated…2004 is over), but it’s simply not true. Bin Laden’s “ideal” president (and you realize that, no matter who’s in charge, he’s going to crow that he pulls the strings, right?) is someone who essentially ignores him while he consolidates power and carries out attacks with impunity. Like, say, Clinton.
Putin absolutely wants a weak America that won’t stand in the way of his adventurism. I think Obama’s initial signals in Eastern Europe are exactly what he wants to hear.
Might be you are right, maybe not. The interesting thing will be seeing what the actual results are…and how you and I each interpret them.
Interesting ‘falling of the iron curtain’ story. One year earlier, I was talking to a graduate student who had just returned from a long study in Moscow. He said that Russia was falling apart at the seams, and he thought it would collapse under its own weight soon. I was so surprised by that opinion, that it stuck with me….and I was surprised later to find that he had been correct!
One of my papers compared the USSR to the Roman Empire and, more or less, predicted the Soviet Empire’s fall about 3 years before it happened. Those that ignore history and all that…
Hel, getting it right once isn’t hard. (See all the “I predicted the crash!” economists opining for a cable TV appearance.) The trick is doing it twice.
Dhoti, ssshhhhh. Do not ruin this one little moment of “I told you so!” superiority in my life!!
Who gives a stuff what Putin wants? Just how important is Russia these days? Their economy is smaller than Brazil’s.
The stupid…it burns…
Let me bullet out the basics for you:
- Russia controls energy supplies that are critically important to Europe
- Russia has historically been suspicious of the West
- Russia seeks to maintain its “sphere of influence” and sees itself as a check on American/Western power
- Russia is, under Putin, essentially the world’s largest criminal state
Oh, and Russia still has large, if decrepit, armed forces and a massive stockpile of nuclear weapons.
But who cares about that, right? The Brazil/Portugal axis is what the world revolves around these days… *sheesh*
Hmm, let me opine on your bullet points.
–Russia and fuel supplies. Oh, definitely. They could do a real job on Europe and Eastern Europe. might be part of the reason that Europe is so bent on green energy?
–Suspicious of the west–yes.
–Balance the forces of western power? yes, but that part doesn’t frighten me the way of the first two points.
–criminal state? yes. Willing to use massively radioactive substances to poison someone without care for anyone else? yes.
–stockpile of nuclear weapons? Some of them are still in ’satellite countries’, which scares me more. The decrepit and unprotected status scares me (Chechnya, anyone?)
—–
I’m also worried about the instability of the country. Their healthcare has fallen apart (beware of the rise of drug-resistant TB), they have increasing rates of alcoholism–which indicates people are losing faith, and their economy stinks. Which could add up to revolution–THAT scares me!
And they don’t even have a Czar to kill this time.
LMAO. Nice one, Jane.
Do they have a Kommisar?
Don’t turn around!
Too bad the green bubble is bursting in Europe. None of the green methods are efficient. The science isn’t there yet. Time to go NUCLEAR
*gains super powers*
In case you gaven’t noticed, Dhoti, Russia is a democracy. And they will keep selling the oil and gas because they need the money and it’s all they’ve got to sell. And as for their military power: it’s fVcked. The cold war is over. Putin is a paper tiger. Reality.
Can’t they bottle and sell cold? I mean with all the global warming people should be mining the cold out of Russia!
Hey, you may be on to something. Pump it into the Sahara Desert.. yay! PK can change the world!
Keithy, you’re an idiot. Russia is as much of a “democracy” as Iran. And your understanding of its military strength is…incredibly naive. Did you just finish watching a Delta Force marathon or something?
Please don’t reproduce.
Dhoti, you are an arrogant tw*t. FVck off and come back when you grow a brain.
Nice try, Keithy, but your insults don’t work together. Am I arrogant, or do I have no brain? You need to pick one and run with it.
No, both is fine.
Blissfully ignorant and grammatically incorrect. You’ll fit right in.
Putin: “Did you hear that? She’s on to me. She must be eliminated!”
4th — it’s Biden (shudder), Pelosi (double shudder), Byrd (meh), then Hillary. It’s not until Gates, at 6th, that you start to hit decent Presidential material.
Eeps. Byrd? He would make it the United States of West Virginia!
No. The United States of West by God Virginia. Get it right.
So sorry! So very, very sorry…
*banjo music starts*
You one of those psychic southerners? You read my mind!
*whips out her guitar and plays along*
Maybe this is one of those ‘devil came to Georgia situations, and I can play my way out of trouble?
Nah, I’m a transplant. We don’t even live in the “southern” part of West Virginia. We are very close to Loudoun County, VA and have a lot of bleed over from there.
It’s an interesting mix; sorta redneck/hilbilly in some spots, latte-drinking, Subaru driving in other spots, with a good dose of “I hate living my life driving everywhere!” thrown in.
But, I DO have a guitar. *tunes up*
I had to change my alternator along the side of the road in West Virginia one time, could have sworn that i heard banjos playin’
You didn’t hear a voice in the brush saying, “Squeal! Squeal like a pig!”?
Mostly chords that people can sing along with.
Hmmm…. that was strangles syntax.
My guitar playing skills are limited to strumming chords to songs that people who know the melody can sing along – with. Durnit, still dangling stuff….
Yeah but, on that same trip a state trooper let you off on a speeding ticket because you gave him your military ID along with you license.
@lg So long as the chords aren’t strangled/dangling! Music, she is important!
You’re right. That is scary. If you need a place to hide I’ve grown attached to this shrubbery to the point of adding a guest room. You could use it if you wanted.
They are a lot less rich and have a lot less power. The richest and most powerful people in the world are undeniably white males. With the exception of a handful of Chinese.
True. And no one from China was in that picture above, or I would have mentioned it. My post was only about this one picture.
Stop confusing them with rationality VNV!
Sometimes I am not rebelling against ‘the man’. Sometimes I am just rebelling against the man in the picture. :-/
Pay no attention to the man in the picture…er…behind the curtain.
What about the man in the mirror?
Man? In *my* mirror? Um, would you like to borrow my Grey’s Anatomy?
Mabs, MJ reference. *shakes head*
And it could be your stalker.
You know, I hear that if you look in the mirror in the dark and say Michael Jackson’s name three times, he materializes and rips your nose off.
Does he then use it for himself?
Sorry, Hel, never been much into Jackson. And I’m pretty sure my husband shot the stalker.
Oh, hey, maybe he came home from work early….
*runs to check*
I thought it was that he materializes and *his* nose falls off? Then he runs around the room asking where are the children and trying to force Jesus Juice down your throat?
Thanks Froo, first someone at work makes a joke about my mother giving my father a blowjob, and now this… I’m gonna have nightmares for months.
That’s ignorant… that’s just ignorant.
I’ve always wondered… does that work in ASL?
Wait, Jane, was that at me?
And Max, now you’ve got the image of your parents doing stuff stuck in my brain. Thanks a lot.
No, I was quoting South Park!
That shows how much attention I paid to that episode, LOL. I remember MJ with a fake mustache climbing around in a tree and singing to the children, his nose constantly falling off, and his poor son trying to be normal, and that’s about it
Lol…Jane, I’ve seen footage of the actual MJ saying that, too!
He also came back this season when Ike saw dead celebrities. He ends up possessing Ike and entering a beauty pageant. And saying everything is ignorant.
China is going to be the 21st century superpower.
Endemic corruption, rapidly ageing demographics, high income inequality and internal national/ethnic tensions – The US needs to follow China in all these if we are to hold our own in this century.
Funny, I thought we were actually doing pretty well in these categories. Maybe #2?
Yes. Yes it is.
… as opposed to a rich black guy in power? How so?
Snorting wine through their noses? Mostly dead? I dunno, give me a hint….
well we know Regan is six feet under.
For now, anyway…
*cues scary music*
ZOMBIE REAGAN ATTACKS!!!!!!!
Oh god save the children! And the Air Traffic Controllers!
Never fear, Zombie Teddy Roosevelt is here to save us!
buh
man PK has not been letting me post the last few days.
Oh, didn’t I tell you? We were doing a test and somehow the name Care Troll was included in the script. Sorry ’bout that..
as long as it was only a test and not an actual emergency to be followed by instructions
BBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
You were able to post again, right?
There are too much pictures with George Bush, Putin, and Obama, it’s not even comical
none of those people you’re bitching about are in this picture… care to re-state your bitch so that it’s relevant?
Yeah! What she said!
If you’re so unhappy with the photos upload some new ones and go make some funny LOLs!
well Bush Sr is there. Does that count?
At lease it appears to be a new picture, if not new content. I don’t know how you can have a political lol site without the major players anyway.
Not really, you don’t see many (any?) LOL’s with George Sr. in them.
Wasn’t there one of him skydiving?
I have one that I did with both Sr and Jr next to each other.
#1, it wasn’t Sr by himself, it don’t count. #2. Did it ever see the front page? If not, it don’t count.
Sky. Diving. He had one skydiving!!
Man, that’s harsh! You didn’t qualify what you were looking for, so there! Secondly, I can’t help it my stuff doesn’t get voted up. It’s not for lack of trying..
Make LOLs featuring members of Pink Floyd then! They do great!
I did do this one ages ago, but it went nowhere..
{http://cheezburger.com/View.aspx?aid=1036185344}
Don’t feel bad. I haven’t had one make front page yet either. Hell, mine don’t even make it up for voting.
I have a feeling it’s EWAsshat and his socks at work again!
Last one I submitted was at +7 votes… never saw it on the front page though..
I just did a couple I thought were pretty funny…and they’re drowned in the negatives.
I’ve lost my touch.
I did one today, too, but I don’t think it did well either.
Here’s a conspiracy theory for you: they put your early work up there on the home page, then they deliberately drop the later stuff so you will keep on logging in to bitch about how your stuff never makes it any more. Mind you that doesn’t cover EWAdams…
We’re obviously not preachy/partisan enough…
I did a lol on the picture above. Only after I posted it did I spot Bush. And several days later, Reagan.. DOH!
I’m pretty selective in the ones I’ll favorite, but I know I have a few of your’s that I thought were VERY funny!
Hehe. THX.. so long as I don’t knock the Dems.. actually noww I’m feeling guilty, I have so few favourites. Funny some people have 28000 favourites and I just noticed I only have about 28. Not got into the habit of favouriting yet! but I do vote conscientiously and not just for my own lols!
I’ve even tried a few partisan ones. They failed too. Too bad. One or two were even funny.
Which just furthers the theory that EWAdams is cheating since he seems to be the only one who gets his unfunny partisan captions up here.
We need another Reagan.
I dunno why.
*comes in with vial of chicken blood, feathered headdress, and ceremonial candles*
You weren’t invited to the Zombie Reagan Resurrection Party? *hands an invite*
A Gipperware party?
Look! *braaaaaap!* The Gipperware is still good!
And it keeps Reagan as fresh as the day he elected!
*was elected. Oops.
Something familiar about all this….Something about Lenin, a tomb…
Not so sure that Lenin was actually fresh, though.
There are a few little ninotchkas out there who would differ with you.
Good point, VG. He was more like a Twinkie: full of preservatives & able to withstand a nuclear holocaust.
Arise Chicken…. arise!
“And then *snicker* and then she said, ‘I bet an African-American will be elected president in our lifetime’.”
“LOLOLOLOL”
Sorry, but you stole that line from about half a dozen different LOLs made from this picture. That and the line “And then my son said he wanted to be president!”
Never saw those… Perhaps great minds think alike? But the “my son said he wanted to be prez” actually made me snort.
Um, is it just me, or did the newest LOL just vanish?
Nope, never mind. Must be my browser. It’s there now.
I really think you should start sharing your drugs….
That’s nonsense! I don’t do drugs! Wait, that doesn’t actually make me sound any better, does it?
Um…no.
I had that happen to me yesterday… or Sunday… or… whoa.. wait.. dude.. what day is it? And pass the ruffles!
My Ruffles. *munches*
Dammit I kept forgetting about changing my e-mail back.
from the timeline of the pic I’d say they’re celebrating the Iran/Contra deal
Yeah, that was a real gut-busting thigh slapper!
Looks more like 5 o’clock to me.
I’m almost positive the guy next to Reagan is Walter Cronkite.
Ronald Reagan, Walter Cronkite, Jim Brady, David Gergen, Ed Meese, George Bush, Jim Baker, and CBS’s Bud Benjamin, The White House, March 3, 1981.
Kudos! Good work pitty!
aaah, overpaid ugly people!
Celebrating a successful administration, instead of the current FAILure?
Less than a year and you’ve already decided it’s a failure? Wow, tough room.
A year? Heck that’s more than some people gave him. Three months after the inauguration I saw a bumper sticker that said “Impeach Obama” All I could think was ‘He hasn’t even had time to do something!’
And now he has had time. And he’s accomplished nothing. Only in echo chambers like this site do people still believe he’s doing a good job.
So…tell me, what did bush accomplish in his first year?
We were attacked. Oh, wait you mean something positive. Uh….. hmm…
Yay us!
heh…. once again, Bush acts as Distraction Czar of Obama.
Distraction Czar, I love it!!! Can I steal that?
Don’t encourage the trolls, froo.
Every once in a while, like a blind squirrel, they find a nut. Considering the amount of blame placed on Bush, both deserved and undeserved, I’m stealing this one
Allow me my moment of ConservoAngst, dammit!!!
Major tax reform, education bill.
No child left behind didn’t go into effect until Jan. 2002…I think that still gives Obama time.
And cash for clunkers seemed to go well. At least I thought it did.
Cash for Clunkers ran out of money (“We miscalculated, we had bad information”) and more than likely just shifted sales from further in the year up to the first of the year. We’ll see when the sales reports come out in a few months.
I’m still annoyed that the Cash for Clunkers deal didn’t apply ONLY to the purchase of vehicles manufactured in the US. It’s not just the dealerships that needed the boost in sales.
I heard the program cost $24,000 for every $4,500 given away.
I’d really like to see an explanation of the math on that.
It doesnt surprise me, there is a lot of overhead whenever the government and government employees get involved:
{http://www.thenewamerican.com/index.php/economy/sectors-mainmenu-46/2210-did-cash-for-clunkers-cost-taxpayers-24000-per-car-sold}
i saw those before he even took the oath of office…. i swear they were out by the end of november
Yeah. Let’s impeach him because I didn’t vote for him and my vote is like one vote times elebenty billion. Plus infinity.
You’re not voting for someone is a criminal offense now? O.o
I’m thinking we gave Jane to much power with that one!
Your…not You’re….
Well, he’s certainly lagging the pack when compared to the last several Presidents after their first year. (And he’s been lagging fairly consistently, by most useful measures. Heck, the guy pretty much peaked on Inauguration Day…)
Wait wait wait…so the righties are bitching that he’s trying to force through legislation that nobody wants, but you’re complaining that he’s not getting anything done.
So, to summarize, you’re just mad because he hasn’t lost his mind and suddenly started pushing through your totally insane conservative agenda. If he was doing that, then forcing legislation through that nobody wants would be just fine.
To be fair, if you put the shoe on the other foot, would you count pushing through legislation you didn’t want as an “achievement”, exactly?
It’s a subjective term, when you think about it, because of the positive connotations.
And in addition to the subjective positive connotations, putting the shoes on the other feet has the added benefit of looking quite amusing.
He’s not getting anything done because the things he wants to do are completely out of keeping with the ideals on which this country was founded.
And because he’s totally incompetent. Witness his inability to make a decision about Afghanistan.
So, just to be clear, you’re saying that he wouldn’t because he hasn’t done what nobody didn’t want him not to do.
Probably celebrating after pwning the commies over and oer that day.
I think you meant over and o’er, if I ‘member the apostrophe rule for missin’ consonants correctly.
is it weird that i thought this picture was cute? like not in a baby panda way… but it’s nice to see them not being serious and just laughing lol i’m lame…
has anyone seen my brother lately?
Ronald Reagan – greatest president of the 20th century.
George HW Bush – father of the greatest president of the 21st century.
get over it, human fecal matter.
Again, 3rd commandment. Just sayin’, dude….that’s really not cool.
oops someone is off their meds again
Who taught Shrub how to use a computer?
