Speaking of pimping, here's the Philly vid of the Giles/O'Keefe ACORN investigation. Apparently ACORN used legal action to force them to mute parts of the video, but if you haven't seen it, here you go. Follow this link to Big Government for updates on the story.
But wait! There's more. Heather Graham pimps the public option in this new ad by MoveOn.org. Is it my imagination, or do those overweight people actually catch up to her near the end?
Bonus "BEST POTUS EVAH" story via HotAir: White House neglecting bioterrorism
The Obama administration is working hard to curb nuclear threats but failing to address the more urgent and immediate threat of biological terrorism, a bipartisan commission created by Congress is reporting today.
The report obtained by USA TODAY cites failures on biosecurity policy by the White House, which the Commission on the Prevention of Weapons of Mass Destruction says has left the country vulnerable. The commission, created last year to address concerns raised by post-9/11 investigations, warns that anthrax spores released by a crop-duster could "kill more Americans than died in World War II" and the economic impact could exceed $1.8 trillion in cleanup and other costs.
Who is Heather Graham? I had to google her. LOL. The Yoga was funny because it does not improve cardiovascular health or endurance.
ReplyDeleteOMG, I was first!!
ReplyDeleteIs everyone is downstairs caught up in dog poop alliteration?
ReplyDeleteThat burger looked good.
ReplyDeleteHey, snowcrash! Hi! Things seemed to be going well downstairs so I didn't want to usher everyone up here just yet...but I guess I should let them know this is here. Back in a second.
ReplyDeleteThat burger looked good.
ReplyDeleteLOL - I swear, they caught up to her, even with her big head start (which was unintentionally symbolic, I guess).

Since she was doing things that were completely irrelevant to the task at hand, and paying no attention to principles whatsoever, it's obviously she's some sort of Hollywood personality.

And doesn't that Obama/bioterror story just give you the warm fuzzies?
ReplyDelete"Competition" includes the FEDGOV?
ReplyDeleteLOL.
whew, that last thread has an odor
ReplyDeleteOne could suspect that the competition offered by the public option will then cause these companies to stop giving themselves facials with champagne, drop their fat burgers and actually do something for a change. The result is that 'everyone wins.'
ReplyDeleteTry competing with the government. Just try it. How can it possibly be fair competetion with people who have all the law-making and regulatory power on their side? We've already seen the strategy.
"Oh yeah? You won't cooperate? Will bust you under the old Taft-Hartley Act. Learn your place, 'free market' bourgeoise scum."
OLT
ReplyDeleteGlad I don't have to clean it up.
Why is the FedGov not represented by a bloated 800-lb man in a wheeled bed with forty-two taxpayers pushing him?
ReplyDeleteAll I expect from dim starlets is to see their nipple and bums in The Sun periodically. I do not take their advice on matters of public policy.
ReplyDeleteI don't know who the hell Heather Graham is but that was a stupid commercial.
ReplyDeleteWhew, my sides hurt after the end of that last thread......
ReplyDeleteOLT -- because that was the old government. Our new government is young and hip and sexy and smart and all into yoga and health food and exercise and stuff.
ReplyDeleteJust ask Chris Matthews - he'll explain it all to you.

Uphill, in the rain.
Lucius, how does one compete with an entity that can print their own money?
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Heather Graham is the cause of much aerobic activity in young males......
ReplyDeleteactually, I suspect that's more anaerobic activity.
ReplyDeleteoops
ReplyDeleteDamn Republicans -- I can see why they want to lock them out of committee meetings.

Anybody can print their own money. They just can't print US money--and other people don't have to accept it.
What do you think tokens (which used to be common in the early-mid 20th century) and company scrip are?

ReplyDeletePresident Obama 'may not attend Copenhagen climate summit'
The prospects of a global deal to tackle climate change diminished last night after a senior US official played down the chances of President Obama attending December’s UN summit in Copenhagen …
Last week Ed Miliband, the [UK] Energy and Climate Change secretary, appealed to President Obama to intervene to rescue the deal and said his presence in Copenhagen could make all the difference between success and failure.
That was certainly true for the Chicago Olympics!
;)
I am appalled that people would speak so disrespectfully about a movie with such penetrating insight.
ReplyDeleteI think that was the most depressing movie I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteWonderful, wonderful Copenhagen
ReplyDeleteFriendly-to-climate-change town!
Everyone's aware we will gather there
To bring Western industry down
In wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen
We will all gas so greenhousily
And for what we say, all of you will pay
Singing wonderful, wonderful
Copenhagen for meeeeeee!

ReplyDeleteI so want to ping off this, but I just shouldn't say what I'm thinking. (This is a minefield, I'll have you know. LOL)
CC: What's a mine field without a few mis-steps? It's even worse when you are trying to clear one and people are throwing rocks at you. :)
ReplyDeleteC'mon -- I think you're being a bit hard on the actors.
ReplyDeleteBare would say the plot is full of...oh, rats, I just can't do it!! I TRIED. LOL

ReplyDeleteI know -- he sets up the joke then leaves off the punchline.
I feel stiffed.
I just can't! I don't know why. It's only typing.
ReplyDeleteBoy, you guys really veered off in another direction on that last thread. I saw a couple of comments about the "smell" and thought I'd better take a look...dang. LOL
ReplyDeleteIf we combined the two threads we'd be moving in the direction of the Cleveland Steamer.
ReplyDeleteBack on topic, sort of, despite the stimulus, instead of creating 3 million jobs, we've lost 3 million more.
ReplyDeleteWill the MSM take notice and take the White House to task for spenind a trillion dollars to destroy 6 million jobs?
hahahahahahahaha
*snort*
sorry -- wouldn't restrain myself.
We'll hear about how mean the Republicans are for pointing this out.

I stumbled across that....topic during dinner. :p
/let me see if I can find any nails for the next clue-by-four....
I love the sidebar ads, by the way, that talk about Obama wanting moms to go back to school.
ReplyDeleteWell of course -- if we convince women to voluntarily leave the work place we can reduce unemployment. Ditto by getting teenagers involved in "volunteerism."
I seem to recall this same strategy employed in Germany in the late 1930s. Yep -- they eliminated unemployment ... by defining vast swaths of the population out of the workforce.
ouch.
ReplyDeletePP -- think the appropriate little "face" would be X0*****

ROTFLMFAO. Go Robbie Go.
Four men go fishing. After an hour, the following conversation took place:
ReplyDeleteFirst guy: 'You have no idea what I had to do to be able to come out fishing this weekend. I had to promise my wife that I would paint every room in the house next weekend.'
Second guy: 'That is nothing, I had to promise my wife that I would build her a new deck for the pool.'
Third guy: 'Man, you both have it easy! I had to promise my wife that I would remodel the kitchen for her.'
They continue to fish. When they realized that the fourth guy has not said a word, they asked him. 'You haven't said anything about what you had to do to be able to come fishing this weekend.What's the deal?'
Fourth guy: 'I just set my alarm for 5:30 am. When it went off, I shut off my alarm, gave the wife a slap on her butt and said:
'Fishing or Sex?' and she said: 'Wear sun-block.'
ROFLMAO Erik. Goes to prove the old adage. Don't work harder, work smarter. :)

Lucius: "Back on topic, sort of, despite the stimulus, instead of creating 3 million jobs, we've lost 3 million more."
ReplyDeleteBut that's six million "saved" jobs in the calculus of Obamaspeak.
Shameless drive by post.
ReplyDeleteGO PHILLIES!!!
(It looks like a great topic, I'll catch up later)
I think everyone is at dinner. Or stuck in traffic. Or hurling after the poop puns.
ReplyDeleteThat was some punishing poop punning. All the alluring, alacritous alliteration allowed a lack of basic blogging behavior.

Pardon me--would you happen to have any grey poop puns?
On the ACORN video -- I suspect you could (if you really were patient) reconstruct the employee's comments from watching her lips move.
ReplyDeleteYou have to love the "gag order" though -- they are all about the "truth" except when the truth hurts them. Then it must be silenced.
Can we just say it? They are fascists.
Butt of course!
ReplyDeleteWeaselly liars like to be the ONLY weaselly liars around - they demand fairness and honesty from everyone else.
ReplyDeleteOLT: Gives 'em a level playing field.
ReplyDeleteThey don't want a level playing field; they want to fortify the high ground and pummel us with artillery fire until we submit. And after we submit they will keep us in the valley and keep the guns trained on us.
ReplyDeleteMaybe that's one of the reasons the hard left seems to love the Islamists so much. Sure, they disagree with them about women's rights (sort of) homosexuality (a fair deal) and other stuff like that, but they agree on the fundamentals, as it were.
ReplyDeleteBoth believe that they have a monopoly on Truth and a moral right to political supremacy.
Both believe that any dissent against their version of the Truth is blasphemy and must be silenced. You ought not even be allowed to think such things.
Both believe that the vast majority, who are not so enlightened, should submit to the power of the virtuous few. Those who do not should expect the punishment they richly deserve for resisting the Truth.
Both believe that the world will only be just when their ideological opponents are either subsumed or physically annihilated.
Both view the world as a struggle between the morally good and the morally evil.
Both are able to use all sorts of sophistry to allow the elite to conduct themselves in ways that seem totally in violation of stated principles.
Both believe that the definition of "righteousness" is submission to ideological orthodoxy.
