TANSTAAFL Wins!

Remember how I asked folks to sign up for a free Obama button to waste the time & money of MoveOn.org?
Well, I just got an email:

Dear MoveOn member,
When we started giving out free Obama buttons, we had absolutely no idea how much demand there’d be. It’s been incredible: so far, MoveOn members have ordered over 1.5 million buttons!
Trouble is, we just can’t afford to keep giving away this many buttons, so we’ve decided we have to cap it at 2 million.
That means there are fewer than 500,000 buttons left
[…]
We really want every Obama supporter in the country to be able to get his or her own Obama button. But unless something changes, we can’t afford to keep supplying them for free.
So tell your family and friends and loved ones to get them now, before they’re all gone.
Thanks,
Peter

Two quick points:
1) VICTORY!
2) Remember folks, this lesson applies to “free” health care, too – it only works until all the doctors who are forced to give away their talents decide to quit.

Question

We all pretty much know that Obama is in no way qualified to be president of the United States, but has anyone ever looked into what in the world are his qualifications to be a U.S. Senator?

Shorter Daily Kos

The nutroots are really going extra crazy over that Rick Warren interview. They thought McCain did so well that he must have cheated. They also think his story about the cross in the sand is so amazing it has to not be true. If you’re wondering what argument the Kwazy Kos Kids have had on those issues over the past couple days, Keith Olbermann sums them up succinctly:

Tip for the nutroots: McCain never mentions he has a son who is serving. What’s he trying to hide there? Maybe you should try and get lots of media attention on that.

lolterizt! Part 60

Pass ’em around, spread the love, and if you make your own, don’t be shy about dropping a link to your pics in the comments. The more, the merrier.

PRODUCTION NOTES:
#1: When creating lolterizt! pictures, please caption with either black or white text, as colors like red and yellow tend to blur badly when I compress the images.
#2: Standard image size for these posts is 350px wide by whatever high. If you can have your images 350px wide before you caption them, I won’t end up shrinking your captions into illegibility when I re-size the images.
MAKE YOUR OWN: The free lolbuilder from I Can Has Cheezburger.
STYLE NOTE: Short captions are usually better. Your goal is 10 words or less, with humor value tending to increase exponentially as the number of words approaches 1.
HAT TIP: Snapped Shot for handy links to ripe-for-captioning photos.
Send your submissions to lolterizt-at-gmail.com and – if they aren’t obscene (IMAO is a PG-13 site) and don’t suck too terribly bad – I’ll post them for you. Remember to include your name (and blog URL, if applicable) so I know who to thank.

Know What the Government of China Reminds Me Of?

Michael, from The Office. The entire government of China is just as socially retarded as he is. I really think they can just steal from what China does to make episode of that show.

PAM enters Michael’s office accompanied by her seven-year-old cousin TRICIA.
PAM: Hello, Michael, this is Tricia. She learned the Dunder Mifflin jingle so she can sing at the paper products convention.
MICHAEL: Good. Let’s hear it.
TRICIA sings.
MICHAEL: Wow. That was really really… really good.
PAM: (beaming) She’s only seven years old.
MICHAEL: That’s impressive.
PAM: So should I go ahead and tell her mother that she’ll be going to the convention?
MICHAEL: …
PAM: What?
MICHAEL: I don’t know if she’s the image we want for Dunder Mifflin.
PAM: What do you mean? You said you wanted a child to sing the jingle.
MICHAEL: Well, when I said “a child” I didn’t mean… any child.
PAM: She is a very good singer.
MICHAEL: That she is. But… (whispers to PAM) …I was imagining someone cuter.
PAM: Michael!
MICHAEL: This convention is very important, Pam! We want people to know how great a company Dunder Mifflin is, and how are people going to be impressed when they look at who we got to represent us, and there’s…
Motions to TRICIA and then hesitates.
MICHAEL: So… how did you lose those teeth?
TRICIA: I got a dollar from the tooth fairy.
MICHAEL: (turns to PAM) This isn’t going to work out. Maybe we can get someone older who’s gotten through the teeth issue. Maybe a nine-year-old.
PAM: Michael! Tricia worked very hard to learn that song. The audience at the convention is going to love her and be very impressed by her singing.
MICHAEL thinks for a moment.
MICHAEL: She is a good singer. I have an idea. You can teach kids to lip sync, right?
PAM: I wouldn’t know.
MICHAEL: We can record her singing, and then when we find someone more…
MICHAEL turns to TRICIA.
MICHAEL: Do you know what “photogenic” means?
TRICIA shakes her head.
MICHAEL: (turns to PAM) When we find someone more photogenic, she can lip sync to Tricia’s very lovely singing. Everyone wins.
PAM is stunned silent. MICHAEL kneels down to talk to TRICIA face to face.
MICHAEL: Have you ever been to a recording studio? It’s going to be lots of fun!
DWIGHT enters the office.
DWIGHT: Beets are a superior vegetable!

Okay, I don’t know how to write Dwight.

Hmm…

It’s somewhat informative from the Rick Warren interviews that the part Obama chose to be vague on was when human life begins thus determining when one is deserving of human rights, and the part McCain chose to be vague on is what defines when someone is rich thus determining when one is deserving of excessive taxation.

Dear Matt, Laura, Melissa, Cathy Zoi, and the rest of the online team of WEsistance fighters and support staff!!!
WE has changed my life and thank you for making this website where I can join in and be a part of GW (global warming) and fighting for our environment!! As one of my “favorites” saved on my computer you are an invaluable asset in this growing campain.
I must warn you of another vicious lie of the GW (Bush) smear machine. In talking with a learned freind (Larry Shitera) about your WE store not having any t-shirt sizes larger than XL and how that might be veiwed as discriminatory aganst the overwieght, he alerted me as to a rumor that the environmental movement was becoming corrupted by a new philosophy called “sizist philosophy” that adheres to the belief that fat people should be actively ignored because of there negative environmental impact due to there size. Well I googled sizist philosophy and found a website called www.sizism.org that explains this in detail and i quote “The environmental movement is naturally opposed to the overweight, and what we mean by “naturally opposed” is that the larger the person, the more gas emissions are released into the atmosphere therefore damaging the ozone and our fragile third planet. Larger people also cause automobiles and other forms of transportation to work harder in order to move their grossly obese bodies due to their extra load bearing capacity; therefore, consuming more than their fair share of the earth’s fuel supply.” Unquote.
Please help me combat this smear that WE are sizists that porposefully discriminate against larger people due to the “natural” damages larger people cause and there overabundant consumption of our natural and artificial resources.
O! O! O! O in 08!!!!
Thanks to you and write me back!!!

EVEN THOUGH YOUR WEBSITE GRAPHICS ARE DOMINATED BY PLEASANT LOOKING WHITE PEOPLE IN THEIR BANANA REPUBLIC KHAKIS AND A FAKE SMILE PLASTERED ON THEIR AIRBRUSHED FACES (WHY ARE YOU AFRAID OF A REAL WOMAN? DO I INTIMIDATE YOU?!), YOUR SITE IS A VALUABLE ASSET IN THE FIGHT AGAINST THE ENVIRONMENTAL RAPE OF OUR COUNTRYSIDE BY THE REPUBLICAN-BIG OIL-BUSH REGIME, SO FOR THAT I THANK YOU, ALBEIT WARILY.
I CANNOT SIT IDLY BY WHILE YOUR CAMPAIGN IS BEING ATTACKED BY THE REPUBLICAN PROPAGANDA MACHINE. AS I WRITE THIS, ATROCIOUS AND HIDEOUS LIES ARE BEING CIRCULATED BY A MEDIA AND CYBERMEDIA APPARATUS CONTROLLED BY RIGHT WING GANGSTERS AND THUGS. HOW CAN PEOPLE BE SUCH SHEEP THAT THEY DO NOT SEE THAT THEIR EVERY THOUGHT AND DEED IS MANIPULATED BY NEWT GINGRICH AND HIS CRONIES??!! AS IF THE REST OF THE WORLD DOESN’T RIGHTFULLY SNEER AT US FOR THE SAVAGE, INHUMAN HYPOCRITES THAT WE ARE!! GITMO ISN’T JUST IN CUBA, FOLKS, YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT’S RIGHT HERE IN OUR BACK YARDS.

Excellent. Excellent. Excellent. IT’s about time someone tried to rid us of fosul fuels. I can help. There was this guy, Edward Teller, he built the hydrogen bomb and accidentally solved our problem. He used one once to show how it could force unreachable natural gas deposits to the surface–but the stuff was too radiocative to use. That’s it—-all we do is irradiate the ooil fields. NO MORE OIL FOR BLOOD!!! We make it unusable and we’ll have to switch to the hydrogen technology the government has been keeping from us to keep the oligarks in power. TAKE THEM DOWN.
