There is now a Like button on IMAO posts so you can share what you like on that new Facebook site all the kids are talking about. Even my dad uses Facebook, and he’s constantly calling me up with technical questions like, “How do I type a letter ‘Q’ on the screen.”
And I tell him, “Find the button with the circle on it that has a line down through the corner of it… No, that’s the button for making an ‘O’ appear. It needs a line down in the corner to be a ‘Q’.”
Plus, Facebook is good for keeping up with old friends… except I like to forget my past. So I mainly use it for playing Bejeweled and Scrabble.
Anyway, you can now Like IMAO posts. But don’t like this post because it was stupid.
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 [Hat Tip: Granny Boo]:
PRODUCTION NOTES:
#1: When creating lolbama! 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.
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.
I hadn’t plugged t-shirts in a while, so I was thinking, “Hey, maybe I should plug t-shirts.”
See, the baby is coming soon and we still have to buy the baby baby stuff and baby stuff costs money and I get money anytime you buy an IMAO branded t-shirt. Plus, SarahK says if I don’t get enough money, she’ll beat me, and I am very scared. Pregnancy has made her crazy!
You can also put money in my tip jar through Pay Pal (link on left sidebar) if you want. If it helps, imagine I have a gun to your head and a crazy look in my eyes.
Anyway, there is my begging. I don’t beg much, but with a baby coming I guess it’s worth begging. She better be an awesome baby with cool baby powers.
Obama said about powerful interests, “They talk about me like a dog.” I don’t know what’s that supposed to mean. As he said it, he added it wasn’t in his prepared remarks; we know that when Obama prefaces something with, “Let me be clear,” that means a lie is coming, so apparently when he says, “That’s not in my prepared remarks”, that means he’s saying something stupid and meaningless.
Anyway, doesn’t Obama remind you more of a cat? He has this blank expression like he’s not quite comprehending what we’re saying or even paying attention to us. Makes a lot of noise when he wants attention and when he’s done with us acts like we’re not even there. He’s always tearing up valuable things if we’re not keeping a close eye on him. He a complete sociopath. He defecates in a box. The guy is a cat.
So what animal would you compare Obama too? You can’t all pick blobfish.
Obama redecorated the Oval Office because he’s a thin, neat person who likes redecorating things — not that there’s anything wrong with that! — but one of the things he changed was to add a new rug with quotes on it. And on that, he mis-attributed a quote to Martin Luther King that was actually from abolitionist Theodore Parker. Not only that, but here are some of the other quotes on the rug:
“What are we going do? What are we going to do? Game over, man! Game over!” -Herbert Hoover
“Good, bad – I’m the guy with the gun.” – Harry Truman
“Get in my belly!” -William Howard Taft
“Are you going to do something or just stand there and bleed?” -Margaret Thatcher
“Relax, don’t do it.” -Calvin Coolidge
“You’re failing! What’s it with you and failure?” -Jimmy Carter’s mom
“One of these days – POW! Straight to the moon!” -John F. Kennedy
“Do or do not; there is no try.” -Confucius
“Why so serious?” -Richard Nixon
“If you can’t do something smart, do something right.” -George W. Bush
“Say hello to my little friend!” -Michael Bloomberg’s Friend
“I get up every morning and piss excellence!” -Ronald Reagan
“You better Czech yourself before you wreck yourself.” -President of the Czech Republic
“You shall not pass!” -Ted Kennedy’s Bar Examiner
“I know Kung Fu.” -Adolph Hitler
“Only the Sith speak in absolutes.” -Mother Teresa
“I don’t nothin’ ’bout birthin’ no babies!” -Margaret Sanger
“I’m getting too old for this @$%&.” -Strom Thurmond
Okay, that’s three words. But it describes that whole “Ask A Congressman” thing.
Rep. Mike Rogers (R-AL/3) held a town hall in Phenix City last week, and I asked you to submit questions for me to ask. Only, he wouldn’t take your questions.
While the crowd wasn’t huge, locals had some questions. So, when it was all done, I asked if he had time for some questions from blog readers. Since most of you live outside his district, he declined to take them, beginning to say that his town hall was for the 3rd district. He was polite, but that’s what the answer was. Almost. He didn’t get through it, because someone else interrupted him mid-sentence to shake his hand. So, I didn’t get to remind him that … I live in the 3rd district!
He was up against a timeline, having a scheduled meeting with county officials across town.
His press secretary asked me to send the questions her way. However, there hasn’t been a response.
But, that doesn’t mean he didn’t answer some of the questions. Sort of.
Let’s ignore the silly questions for a minute — Mike Rogers isn’t Thaddeus McCotter and IMAO isn’t Red Eye, after all — and focus on serious questions.
Some asked, about repealing Obamacare. As it turns out, in his remarks, Rep. Rogers did address that. He said the new GOP Congress will try, but he thinks the effort will fail:
Let’s assume best case scenario, both houses flip. “You’re gonna repeal all this stuff that’s been done in the last two years?”
Well, we’re gonna try, but it, everybody in this room knows that, let’s say, for example, that we put a bill on the floor to repeal the health care reform bill, and we pass it through both chambers. Do you think the president’s gonna sign that new law? No, he’s gonna veto it.
Well, the fact is it takes a two-thirds vote to override a veto. So I want people to have realistic expectations about what can be done, uh, over the next two years.
Best thing is we can stop, we can put the brakes on the spending, because the Congress controls the budget. That’s the best thing that can happen.
There were questions about spending, which he also addressed in those same remarks. Remember that whole “we can put the brakes on the spending” comment?
So, while he didn’t answer questions — heck, he didn’t even let me ask them — he did address the top two topics asked on the blog or sent to me in email.
No, I’m not happy he didn’t take the questions. But, seriously, would you take questions from you? I didn’t think so.
And, despite my displeasure, it’s not like I’m gonna campaign or vote for the guy who’s running against him. I don’t even know who that guy is. I think it’s a guy. Doesn’t matter.
I’m voting for Rogers in November. Again. I voted for him in 2008. And 2006. And 2004. And 2002 (when he first ran for Congress).
