Than Cry" department, I bring you the following Onion videos. Oh, sure, I thought about writing more about the whole Stimulus package, being hailed as a HUGE victory of "historic proportions" for Obama (I kid you not - check out this Washington Post article). As if it was COMPLETELY unexpected that the Democrats were going to get this pork-belly package, that NO ONE has fully read before voting on it, passed. What a SHOCK!! Please...
But I just can't do it. If you DO want to read an excellent post on this subject, I highly recommend Uppity Woman's post, "Congratulations Everyone! You've Been Stimulated!"
Instead, given how highly orchestrated everything has been around the Product Obama, I bring you the following:
Seems pretty likely to me! Ahem. Hey, Obama DID say he was going to let the scientists do more, so there you have it!
And just for the hell of it, and just in case you actually KNOW anyone like this, I bring you this video:
Hope you get a few laughs out of this.

I'd like to pour that Despondex in the water here in San Francisco, Rev. If I have to hear one more Obot say how grateful they are that BigOhNo is leading the country, and how they can already feel the change, and isn't Michelle just so lovely, and what a cute family they are, and Hope! and Change! and Oh.My.God. I want to run screaming.
No one I talk to has any clue about the Porkulus Package that just passed, no idea what's in it, no idea how it will screw up their lives. All I hear when I try to discuss it is "no matter what he does you'll always find something wrong" so YES, IT'S ALL MY FAULT because I just don't get it.
I'm dreaming more and more about that little town of Progreso in the Yucatan, right on the Gulf of Mexico. That's where I'm headed (although my departure date has been delayed by a number of years now, thanks to BigOhNo).
It's enough to make me start drinking again.
Sigh
Oh, SF - what a funny and poignant post (please don't let Oborg drive you to drink! He is so not worth it...Though I totally understand - really!).
I can just see the newsreel now of you and your boy up there with masks on pouring Despondex into the SF water tower! LOL...
I know - you would think our leaders would be REQUIRED to read the damn bills on which they are voting, especially when they mean 1 trillion more in debt (at LEAST) for our country. And when it is so filled with pork - they think it is all okay because Obama says so. Blech!
And their comments to you - someone just said that to me over at NQ - that I just don't like him. My response: No, I do not like him - I have made that abundantly clear. And I do not like him because he is unethical,immoral, sexist, homophobic, and a cheat. That’s not news. And not that I don’t WANT to have a more “nuanced” position - he has done absolutely nothing to disabuse me of my opinion of him. Rather, it becomes more solidified as time goes by.
And there ya have it. I'm right there with ya dreaming abt my retirement home (also out of the country), and like you, is now further away...
One last thing - how is is that NO ONE remembers that the Dems also had something to do with the whole financial mess in which we find ourselves? It wasn't JUST the Reps who got us here. Remember Fannie and Freddie?? For pete's sake, their subprime mortgages and car loans helped to tank this economy. And WHO pushed for those loans? ACORN. Uh, yeah. The same group getting gazillion dollars of OUR money. Grrrr.
Thanks for the laugh, SFIndie!
LOL! I love the press conference...not so far fetched when it comes to Obamassiah.
I'll tell ya, kiddo, I just about lost it on another blog today when I saw this Obamabot that looked like she was about to come out of her kool aid induced coma and wrote a post about holding Obama's feet to the fire..but her friends from DailyKos "talked her down" and she had a change of tune. Then she asked me if I would have been happier to have McCain as President and I gave her a resounding YES! I told her that if McCain was President we WOULD hold his feet to the fire and we would never have allowed him to put through this pork-filled piece of crap legislation called a "stimulus bill". I also said that I was sure she and her other Obama zombies would have been screaming bloody murder if McCain decided to keep the Bush State secrets doctrine in tact along with rendition. They wouldn't be saying (like she did in her post) that Obama was just trying to "keep our country safe".Yeah...when Bush did it, he was deplorable, Obama continues it, and he's keeping us safe. They just don't see the hypocrisy! This is exactly why I just cannot visit those blogs anymore...they make me crazy!!!!
And thank goodness you gave me this post to smile about. ;-)
I left my final post today on Bad Habit...it's like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Now I can visit the blogs at my own ease and by all means, ignore the Bots!
Hey, ME!
Glad to help - any ol' time!
And WOW abt Bad Habit...I am going to miss your regular posts. You are just so darn funny and sharp...But again, I totally understand...
What gets me abt people like the one you describe is that they really CAN'T see the incredible hypocrisy of their statements! That's what I keep saying - the SAME people who screamed at the top of their lungs (and I was one of them) against BUSH doing these things while claiming he was keeping the country safe, are the exact same ones who are making excuses for Obama. "Hey, we can TRUST him to use this wisely, and even though it's the EXACT same policy, it's DIFFERENT now!" What a bunch of hogwash.
And why can't that woman hold Obama's feet to the fire? That is our DUTY as American citizens - to hold our leaders accountable!! That's a big part of being a democracy (I know, I know - hard to tell sometimes that we are still one). For her to be talked into submission is really telling. Nary a bad word can be said abt the One.
Know who else had supporters like that? Yep. Bush. They are JUST like the Bush supporters...
Thanks for coming by, ME!!
OMG, I laughed out loud, Rev! I can just see the headlines now:
Local Woman And Cat Arrested For Pouring Unknown Substance Into Bay Area Water Supply! Carted off in handcuffs, the unidentified woman was heard to be muttering "no more Obot joy, no more Obot joy". Her cat, after hissing and snarling at the arresting officer, sat contentedly in her lap.
R3,
You referred to the president as "Oborg". Please tell me you don't mean like in the Borg of Star Trek series.
I don't want to be assimilated.
I don't want resistance to be futile.
I suppose both is going to be the case. Obama seems to be enjoying immense popularity that will be difficult to overcome (at least for a time). To borrow from another science fiction series...The avalanche has already begun. It is too late for the pebbles to vote.
Thanks for finding those videos. They almost counteracted the handful of Despondex I feel like I take every time I read the news.
SFIndie - EXACTLY!! That's the newsreel! :-D Ohmygosh, that would be so funny...
And good Boy, Raymond, for snarling at people trying to take his Mommy away! Teehee!
I know, Gridlock - I don't want resistance to be futile, either. But I tell ya - it seems no matter what this guy does, no matter who he picks, no mater how he got to where he is, his minions will serve and obey him. People who just two years ago went ballistic abt extraordinary rendition (and again, I was one of the people) now sit mutely by. It is just shocking. It's like they all checked out of their brains (or their consciences).
I don't get it. Especially since Obama has such a thin, thin resume and so little experience. They REALLY think "hope and change" are going to guide this country through these tumultuous times?? Really?? Sigh...
