Getting a new bumper sticker

Posted by on

Last week, Frank J. asked for help regarding voting for his Congressman. And that gave me the courage to ask for help. So here goes: I need a new bumper sticker.

Okay, I don’t actually have a sticker on the bumper of my car. I have one on the window. And it really needs to come down.

Here’s my current sticker. It’s left over from the 2008 election.

Now, yes, I know, it’s pretty lame to keep a bumper (or window) sticker up after the election. And I’m lame for still having it up.

But, I want to let people know this: I did not vote for Barack Obama.

Leaving the McCain sticker on was a way of saying that. But, it’s still lame to have an election sticker after the election. Particularly 540 days after the election.

So, I need to change my bumper sticker. And I want something that, at a glance, can be seen to convey what I want to convey. Nothing wordy.

I thought about the Republican logo…

… but I’m not a Republican. I’m not a member of any political party. And I don’t want to get any more letters or email from Michael Steele.

I don’t think I want that.

So, I need some ideas.

I want to communicate the following ideas in as few words as possible:

  • No, I didn’t vote for Barack Obama
  • Yes, you’re an idiot if you did

Suggestions?

New York Times Threatened Obama!

Posted by on

First Chris Matthews compared Obama to Teddy Roosevelt, now the New York Times is comparing Obama to William McKinley.

And we all know the horrible fate that befell McKinley, right?:

The William McKinley assassination occurred on September 6, 1901, at the Temple of Music in Buffalo, New York. United States President William McKinley, attending the Pan-American Exposition, was shot twice by Leon Czolgosz, an anarchist.

And keep in mind that this isn’t some sort of casual, off-hand comparison. The point of the Times article is that Obama IS A WORSE PERSON THAN MCKINLEY because Obama didn’t invite the press into the Builtmore Estate.

But evidently the manse once owned by George W. Vanderbilt had no room for the reporters and photographers who follow the president everywhere he goes. They were left to stand outside in the rain, seeking shelter under the overhang of a guest cottage.

By contrast, an article in The New York Times from 1897 circulating among reporters on Air Force One on Sunday afternoon had this headline: “McKinley Visits Biltmore — Refuses to Enter George Vanderbilt’s House Unless His Newspaper Guests Can Go Along.”

I hereby denounce the New York Times’ irresponsible encouragement of dangerously unhinged anarchists. This country can’t afford such seditious rumblings in these troubled times.

Have you no shame, good sirs?

IMAO Reader Theater: “Vacuum To The Butt”

Wacky Hermit of Organic Baby Farm presents: “Vacuum To The Butt”

Just keep watching… you’ll see why I posted it.


[Xtranormal direct link]

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 isn’t obscene (IMAO is a PG-13 site) and it doesn’t suck too terribly bad, I’ll post it and let the readers throw roses and/or tomatoes at you.

New Idea for Election Year

Posted by on

I’m always looking for new ideas for improving elections. The Founding Fathers did a pretty good job with their Constitution, but one day we’ll probably have to start over and do another and hopefully we’ve learned a few things to add some new stuff to improve things.

So here’s my idea: Every election year, we spin a big wheel, kind like the Wheel of Fortune wheel. And one of the spaces is labeled “Super Crazy Fun Election Time”. If that space is landed on, every elected official loses his job and has to be replaced with someone else. It’ll be wacky crazy fun!

There can be other spaces on the wheel to like “Veterans Get Two Votes”, “No Women Suffrage Bonus Round”, and “Election Winners to Be Picked Randomly from Phone Book”. It’ll make election year exciting!

What would you want on the Election Year Wheel of Chance?

Everybody Is a Nazi!

Posted by on

The left were recently saying how invidious Nazi comparisons that a single protest sign by a Lyndon LaRouche supporter that compared Obama to Hitler got a ton of notice, but look what’s happened since the Arizona illegal immigration bill passed.

THE LEFT HAVE TO WATCH THEIR RHETORIC BEFORE THEY GET SOMEONE KILLED!!!!11!!!11!!1!!!!elventy1!!1

…or something.

Isn’t comparing everyone who disagrees with you to Nazis a Nazi tactic? I mean, the Nazis would compare anyone they disagreed with to whoever what the most hated group at the time to avoid rational discussion and keep things on an emotional level; that’s what comparisons to Nazis these days is. Why if the Nazis had hatred of Nazis to use in their propaganda, they’d be unstoppable!

Anyway, here’s a point of comparison you should look for before you make the Nazi comparison: GENOCIDE!

Yes, the Nazi’s were uber-patriotic, socialist, and wore shiny boots, but I don’t think any of those things were the reasons they are thought of as especially evil in history… you know, compared to the genocide. I thought the genocide was the really bad thing, but maybe I’m just focusing on the wrong stuff.

Random Thoughts

How about instead of figuring out who technically is or isn’t a journalist, we all just get the same rights?

It’s pretty hard to tell if the AZ law actually is bad through the hysterical overreactions.

I’ll believe Congress is serious about handling the cause of the financial mess when they all commit seppuku.

I can never tell high praise from mockery.
