IMAO Reader Theater: “A Poem by Al Gore”
Tom in Knoxvegas presents: “A Poem by Al Gore”
NOTE: Sad but true, it really IS a poem that Al Gore wrote. I’m giving this video High Praise! for finding an appropriate use for Xtranormal’s stilted, robotic speech pattern.
Take a hippie-punch at fame by creating your own IMAO-worthy video at Xtranormal (“If you can type, you can make movies“). Send a link to harvolson-at-gmail.com and I’ll give it a look. If it’s PG-13 and doesn’t suck too terribly bad, I’ll post it and let the readers throw roses and/or tomatoes at you.
Big Election Night!
It’s like presidential election night is here again, except it’s only a year since Obama took office. If Brown wins tonight, it will be hard to overstate how huge that is; it will be the biggest upset since Miracle on Ice — except this victory will be against opponents dedicated to the destruction of capitalism. Hell, a close election in the most reliably liberal state for the seat held by the most reliably liberal Democrat would have spelled doom for Democrats, but a win will mean wailing and gnashing of teeth. If Ted Kennedy were still alive, this would kill him.
There’s not too much to say before we know the results, but I’ll probably be on Twitter all night recording my thoughts. I know some of you don’t like Twitter because of… whatever, but it’s finally something on the internet the Republicans have an advantage in. We’re the young, motivated party rebelling against the system, now! Down with the machine, man!
Anyway, key things to keep in mind this election night:
* No matter what Dems say, this is a big referendum on Obama and his suckitude. The only reason it’s close in Massachusetts and the Democrats have to spend millions there is Obama’s overwhelming crappiness and the horrible policies of the Democrats.
* It’s quite obvious the liberal realignment of 2008 is already was past its peak. Yes, things only gets worse for liberals from here.
* If Republicans can win in Massachusetts, that pretty much means they’ll have a shot everywhere in 2010.
* Though we should expect election night shenanigans from the Democrats, the Dick Cheney Assassination Squad has vowed to monitor voting.
* Squirrels have fluffy tails.
* I’m not really a political analyst. I don’t know what key things to keep in mind.
Anyway, keep your fingers crossed. I really want to gloat big tomorrow.

Meanwhile, 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.
NOTE TO READERS: Hovering your mouse over the picture activates closed captioning for the l33t-speak/txtmsg impaired.

This week’s uncaptioned picture for you to play with:
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@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.
Random Thoughts
Suggested line for a desperate Coakley campaign: “If Brown wins, MLK will have died for nothing.”
So where has Coakley gone wrong? Has she not properly expressed how she is entitled to the seat?
In celebration of MLK Day, I will not be racist today.
My sniper scope has “2COR4:6” on it which I believe reads: “Stay frosty.”
If I’m ever feeling down, I just remember that Jesus loves me and Jayne from Firefly follows me on Twitter.
I’ve got a hunger that can only be satisfied by eating food.
If the Daily Kos poll shows it even, does that mean expect a Republican landslide?
Message from Obama to MA: “Elect Brown, and I will no longer be your friend.”
Today is when voters get to express their disapproval of Obama’s agenda by lashing out at poor, innocent Coakley.
For all those Republicans who celebrated Ted Kennedy’s death, don’t wish he was alive now to see this?
Every day I get more awesome, and as soon as my awesome meter is full, I can unleash a special attack.
Kids and their rock music.
The gimmick to use actors from the show you’re watching in ads to get you to not fast forward past them works.
I hope in tonight’s 24 Jack learns how his own actions are the true cause of terrorism. How big a recruiting tool must Bauer be over seas? “We must defeat this servant of Satan and steal his purse!”
A good line for Bauer when being threatened by street punks: “Have you seen Gran Torino?”
I wonder if in the Middle East they call Canada the “Okay Satan.” Or maybe “Satan’s Dorky Friend.”
I hope there isn’t a B-plot in 24 this season involving President Taylor’s embarrassing brother and his cable home improvement show.
