Why I laugh?

I’m pretty sure that’s a “hip” reference to Dubbya’s “our children isn’t learning” gaffe.

However, a truly literate poster would know to put the ironic gag-reference in quotation marks.

Same net effect, overall.

“Perhaps, then, he could portray a leader, even though, of course, he is incapable of being a leader.”

Perhaps there was a big sale on commas that day.

That, was, really, funny.

I was so embarrassed yesterday when Obama stood up in front of his business roundtable and declared,

“There be too many motherfuckin deficits in this here houseizzle!”

The unconscious racism of people like Susan and Larry and the whole NQ mafia is really something to behold.  People who have built hundreds of websites and written thousands of the worst, most braindead rants imaginable, all because, they just really have a problem with that black guy.  And it bleeds through with their obsession over Obama’s hip-hop love.  Notice how Susan didn’t even include the speeches of MLK in her list of “truly knowledgeable leaders”.

Who the hell would work out to a speech, anyway?  God, she’s retarded.

@Allan—I keep getting that line confused with Obama’s response to the reporter on Air Force One who quizzed him about his “socialism”:

“Enough is enough! I have had it with these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane!”

“Perhaps, then, he could portray a leader, even though, of course, he is incapable of being a leader.”

Perhaps, then, if he listened to the speeches, he could, and I mean this with all sincerity, portray, or, at least, resemble a leader, even though, of course, of course, a horse is a horse, and no one can talk to a horse, of course, that is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mr. Ed.

@Allan—Totes.  Everyone knows that should be “hizzouse,” not “housizzle.”  Wrong declension, FFS.

… I couldn’t help but realize, as I do so often, that the British do speak far better and with more fluency of language and cadence and emphasis and precision than most of us Americans do.

… I couldn’t help but realize, as I do so often, that the British do speak far better and with more fluency of language and cadence and emphasis and precision than most of us Americans do.

And with that we know she’s never been to the U.K.

Oh, that such facility with language were taught in American schools.

She certainly knows how to make the subjunctive sound stilted, verbally disagreeable, and just plain wrong. One is tempted, to say, to oneself, “Oh, that one were not, perforce, wasting one’s breath, deploring the excrescences of a dreary, pretentious, varicosed, cavilling, boob.”

And would it be too much to ask her to use a question mark now and then.

Most Pumas are chary with the question marks, but make free with exclamation points. If we could tax exclamation points, PUMA would be out of business.

instead, he should be listening to the speeches of Winston Churchill, Franklin Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln, and Thomas Jefferson

Totally! I’ve got several recordings of Jefferson & Lincoln on my iPod!

I like to listen to the audio book of Henry David Thoreau’s Walden when I’m on the treadmill.  Really pumps me up!

Most Pumas are chary with the question marks, but make free with exclamation points.

You’re onto something there. There are no questions in the vast chambers of the PUMAhut.  Only idiotic, fact-free declarations.

For the moment, let’s reflect on the fact that this incompetent non-leader who’s allegedly so flailingly in over his head has succeeded thus far in implementing the most humongous spending authorizations in history, frozen the ex-President’t signing statements and reversed a slew of onerous Executive Orders, commanded the closure of Guantanamo, restored funding for Embryonic Stem Cell research, dramatically reoriented America’s foreign policy, authorized the establishment of a Commission on Women’s Policies, resurrected formerly dead dialogues on healthcare reform and other “liberal” issues…and generally steamrolled the fuck out of the entrenched resistance.

If that’s the kind of lackluster performance engendered by listening to Jay-Z, I hope Obama cracks open the Two Live Crew “Me So Horney” disk, chop-chop,

Barack Obama’s mother used to wake him early to ply him with extra lessons before school.  Fuck SusanUnPC—Obama’s earned the right to a little Jay-Z once in a while.,

Regarding Murphy, for a woman who’s made a big deal about how many threats (death or otherwise) she’s received, isn’t it an incredibly stupid and reckless idea to invite complete strangers to come to your home for an “open house and social”?

@Mrs. Polly—The general consensus is that the Commission is an obscenity and a slap-in-the-face—even though it’s precisely the sort of top-level executive point-presence the PUMAs have long demanded as their Goddess-given right.

Many reasons, all predictable:

Obama is calling for its establishment, thus it is insincere and an empty bluff.

The “wrong” woman was chosen to chair it, thus it can never reflect the interests of “authentic” women, as defined by the PUMAs.

Use of the word “Women’s” is misogynistic.

All boyfriends cheat, ergo government is a sham.

Hillary lost, and there’s not enough chocolate on earth to make that right.

Kevin K.—Not nearly as stupid as posting the time and location where someone like me could find them. ;->

Any rejoicing over the Commission on Women’s Policies? Because I missed it. But going over there results in uncontrollable itching, so I try to get out quickly.

Mrs. P:  There was some mention of the commission in comments, mostly derogatory in nature about it not being nearly enough, Valerie Jarret is an A-rab and Obot, not a cabinet position, no full-time staff.

I don’t know about RiverChucky, but Murphy made no mention of it, let alone a post.

Totally! I’ve got several recordings of Jefferson & Lincoln on my iPod!

Me too. Do you know when they were recorded, and by whom?

Well, lemme tell ya. If y’uns ‘ll jus’ set there a spell, I’ll spin a yarn about how those great men, particularly Franklin, were not only decades, but centuries ahead of their time.

But first, I need to clear my throat ... scuse me for a sec ...

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

I wonder if anyone has the original recordings of John Adams during his defense of the British soldiers who shot down Crispus Attucks and the rest on the Boston Common.

Hillary lost, and there’s not enough chocolate on earth to make that right.

That’s the best thing I’ve read all week.

@Humboldt Blue—Most audio recordings of the Founding Fathers have been determined to be fakes, since Franklin’s Aeolian LithoVox Transcriptor employed a fragile vegetable medium that would rapidly oxidize if not immediately submersed in a bath of vanilla extract and ambergris.

More importantly, Franklin died before he could perfect the necessary mechanism to play back a message created by shouting at a corn cob.

Sorry, but odds are whatever you and HTP are listening to are among the many popular Revolutionary “tribute” recordings that were voiced by actors circa 1830-40. in the early heydey of the Steamphonicon.

The Franklin Aeolian LithoVox Transcriptor—I don’t know which I want to see more, that or the Steamphonicon.

I have seen a fragile medium. She wasn’t yet a vegetable, but she was obviously submersed in a bath of something that smelt rather like juniper berries.

@Mrs. Polly—So, you’ve met The Anchoress?

The Anchoress? Stained kaftan? Pounds of Baltic Amber round her neck? Voice like Harvey Fierstein? Puts her cigarettes out in other people’s drinks? Brandishes a double-edged Crucifix?

More importantly, Franklin died before he could perfect the necessary mechanism to play back a message created by shouting at a corn cob.

Umm, isn’t that they way they do it over at Murphy’s funhouse of fucknutedness or the effluence?

Or am I being to sexist because we all know a corn cob resembles, well ... a corn cob.

@Mrs. Polly—Yeah, and a purse jammed with still-wrapped hotel travel soaps, PowerBall tickets and Werther’s butterscotch hard candies. That’s the chick.

@HumboldtBlue—You may be confusing that with the Wiccan ritual of “Chanting at the Rod.”

Or maybe *I* am.

Franklin died before he could perfect the necessary mechanism to play back a message created by shouting at a corn cob.

Heh. iCob.

@HTP—FTW. Excellent.

@Kevin K.—Thanks for correcting me on the Bush line. I don’t read Susan, so I don’t know if she’s prone to grammatical groaners. That one was just SO blatant, though, that the order-enforcing parts of my brain immediately served up a plausible intention.

I think SusanUnPC probably has the “Horst Wessel Song” on her iPod, along with “Tomorrow Belongs to Me”.

Regarding Murphy, for a woman who’s made a big deal about how many threats (death or otherwise) she’s received, isn’t it an incredibly stupid and reckless idea to invite complete strangers to come to your home for an “open house and social”?

“Open house & social” must be a new euphemism for shaking the rubes down for cash. But I’m surprised you need to ask the question because only one of two things could possibly happen:

1. Right before the OH&S;, she will announce that she’s received a horrible terrible scary threat and she has to cancel but can people please make donations to help defray the costs of the wonderful party that was ruined by icky obots.

2. She actually has the party (has it become a pot luck yet?) with prominently displayed donation boxes right next to the one bowl of stale chips, the questionable onion dip and the punch (1 packet cherry koolaid + 3 gallons water) and they spend the entire time freaking out that they’ve been infiltrated by obots.

If you’re a gambling man put your money on #1.

I think SusanUnPC probably has the “Horst Wessel Song” on her iPod, along with “Tomorrow Belongs to Me”.

Okay, my old desktop died yesterday so I’ve been offline for the last 24 hours or so. And you know how you think “Gosh, being away from the internet is great! There’s really nothing there that I’d miss, is there?”

Then I read this thread and I remember why the god I don’t believe in invented the intertubes and why I can’t live without it.

P.S. I bought a new laptop, but I’m not telling you what kind because I dread hearing the “Oh shit, not THAT! That blew up for no reason and killed my best cat” stories.

Kerry, we just went through that, but our old Bessie has another 6 months in her, God Willing and the motherboard don’t melt.

I’d be interested in what laptop you chose, and why. And how you like it in a couple months.

BTW, we’re listening to Bill Maher—Breitbart just got crushed, killed, destroyed by Eric Dyson. Breitbart mistake #1: assumed Dyson’s degree was in Black Studies, just because. Oh joy, oh bliss.

I think SusanUnPC probably has the “Horst Wessel Song” on her iPod, along with “Tomorrow Belongs to Me”.

Only cultural sensitivity and a desire to let bygones be bygones have prevented me from borrowing from a past wit and suggesting that her articles probably read better in the original German.

Breitbart just got crushed, killed, destroyed by Eric Dyson

Wow, will definitely watch the repeat.
