I know this isn't a political posting, but it's okay for alittle diversion now and then, no? I thought this was a funny piece about the airline industry and how they keep cutting back on services. Politics aside, I thought it was interesting commentary nonetheless. You can check out the blog at parodyandson.blogspot.com. There was also a funny McCain parody there if you're looking for something about politics.

You know, Count Orlok.

Enough with this Hillary nonsense.

We all know what Obama's real problems are versus McCain:

Age.

Experience.

Sheer calculating evil, without the capacity for feeling mercy for man or beast.

Obama's choice is going to be Nosferatu.  Trust me.  You know it.  I know it.  Vegetable lasagna knows it (has that reference become "obscure" yet?).

So let's stop fucking around and plan for keeping the blood banks open 24/7 in Denver.

Roy Edroso looks back on Obama's first term in this satirical piece for the Village Voice. It's hilarious, if perhaps too close to home. How will Obama handle the inevitable rightwing lunacy? What if Bush bombs Iran after he leaves office?  And will the girls ever get that puppy?

January 20, 2009:
Barack Obama is sworn in as the 44th President of the United States. On an innovative "second stage," U2 performs; presumptive Secretary of the Interior Al Gore arrives in a hot-air balloon to deliver a PowerPoint presentation on climate change. Obama's Inaugural Address quotes Lincoln ("the better angels of our nature"), Kennedy ("The torch has been passed to a new generation"), and John Cougar Mellencamp ("You've gotta stand for something or you're gonna fall for anything").... Half of the media coverage is cautiously skeptical ("Obama's Tall Order," The New York Times); half is openly contemptuous, assailing the president's "airy generalities" and "wonkish specifics," his misattribution of a Ginger Rogers quote to Mellencamp, U2's lame performance, and the carbon footprint of Gore's hot-air balloon.

1909 - The first race was run at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Indiana.

1960 - The Russians sent two dogs into earth orbit in a satellite.

COINCIDENCE? I think NOT!

The Pastor's sermon
FROM THE CHURCH OF INEFFABLE STUPIDITY

Hi. John Sidney McCain III, here. I know a lot of you Daily Kossacks aren't of a mind to listen to my straight talk, but being the original maverick that I am, I am going to very publicly and proudly cross the aisle and tell you just how, in my own words (more or less, with the help of one of your regular contributors) share with you over the next several days how my experiences as a prisoner of war for seven years in Vietnam shaped my life, my character, my resolve, my views and my candidacy to become the next President of the United States who, despite sharing the same party, the same views, the same talking point and the same most wonderful special mancrush of a hug, will in no way be like the previous administration.

So, I'd like to start off this first part of what I think will be a five part series with the easiest, least controversial topic in American politics: Abortion.

As you hip netroots types like to say: More below the break. Heh!

Hello. No real substance here but I thought many of us would enjoy WaPo's humor columnist Gene Weingarten's take on how the "liberal media" is handling Obama.

For those of you who don't know Gene, he was the man who hired Dave Barry at the Miami Herald and was his editor for many years.

Some choice passages from his column to whet your whistle:

Obama's Looks: What we have here is a man whom women swoon over, even though it is plainly apparent that he is a dead ringer for one of those long-faced, spaniel-eared Easter Island heads. There hasn't been this aggressively un-handsome a presidential contender since, I guess, Abraham Lincoln, the Great Emancipator, who single-handedly preserved our nation, binding its racial wounds, and who was also known for being an eloquent speaker. A really, really eloquent speaker. Hey, do you remember when Obama said, "Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek"? Do you realize the amazing economy of words in that . . .

I have been reseraching John McCain's POW experience and the anecdotes he has told about that experience over the years. McCain has taken some heat recently for obvious pandering lies about his POW experience, such as his love for Abba before beocming a POW and that he recited the 1970's Pittsburgh Steelers D-line as his squardon mates under interrogation.

Most recently, there is the "cross in the dirt" story that closely resembles one told by Alexander Solzhenitsyn. Here are a few others that have not been widely publicized.

You can name the entire Congressional Delegation from your home state

You have a link to a page on your favorites talking about the Presidential race in 2020

Last year I posted this diary in which I listed the most Exremely Annoying commercials. Prominent on my list was freecreditreport.com. And I won't plug them by linking them, because their ads are all over. You can't get away from them, whether you're watching TV, listening to the radio, or online. And there's even a new one.

Below the fold is a tribute to the persistence of this company with its misleading name in annoying us. Which will be followed by pooties.

So, my wife, Holly, bought be a Barack Obama "Obama Rama" air freshener to hang from the rear-view mirror on my car and let me tell you… though I cannot guarantee the REAL Barack Obama will fulfill all our hopes and dreams when he is President… as an unpleasant smell-obfuscator, the guy and his likeness are second to none. I'm not sure what the makers of the "Obama Rama" air freshener have added to the cherry-soda smell, but this puppy is nasal-nuclear.

Anyway, the sweet pungency aside, the new addition to my olfactory automotive aura prompted the following interaction with my son Truman the almost four-year old (who previously called the presumptive Democratic nominee Bramobama)...

John McCain’s campaign ad "The One" has generated a lot of buzz regarding the "Left Behind Series." Political commentators are comparing McCain’s portrayal of competitor Barack Obama with the blockbuster apocalyptic series’ depiction of the antichrist. But even the series authors Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins don’t think Obama is the antichrist.

Of course, Barack Obama is not the Auntie Christ. How could anyone possibly mistake him for a 2000 year-old-Jewish woman?

Well, have you had enough or are you looking for more? China is leading in the Gold Medal count while the US is leading in the overall. The swim judge who disqualified the Chinese swimmer hasn't been seen since. ;7) And that explains the strange scoring in Gymnastics.
 
And with the world distracted, Russia invades Georgia using the George W. Bush line of reasoning and "legal" arguments. And the GOPpers and their buddies at AEI (American Enterprise Institute)are all aghast at Russia's legal reasoning. What George, someone forgot to tell you about a thing called precedent setting? You know when you lay out a legal "justification" others may/can use it to justify their actions?

Ok... the intro will not be, since I need to explain my thoughts.

I thought, hey it is Friday.

Friday I usually try to place some funny diary type thing on DK... why not try something funny and odd.

People on DK are an intelligent bunch of folks, so I wonder...

Would we be able to keep conversations going, not by using our own words mind you, but real (or as real sounding as possible) from comedy (Simpsons, Python, Movies, etc. quotes).

I know that if this diary is like others it will spread into side-bar conversations will pop-up, but I hope those will just be quote convos as well.

<More after the break>

Perhaps you've gotten emails sent along by clueless older relatives that purport to provide the "real truth" about Barack Obama. These are totally trustworthy and credible sources of political information, and you should definitely base your vote on what they tell you. That said, maybe it's time I let you in on the real truth about John McCain - he may be an Irish woman!!!

That's right. Yesterday at a debate between Rep. Virgil Goode of Virgina's 5th district and his Democratic challenger Tom Perriello Goode said this

"And they want me out of Congress, the liberal Democrats want me out. And they want me out because I'm a conservative voice, if we can silence that person that's exactly what we want, we want more mushers up here  in Congress that won't speak out and stand out. They want a Obamajority in this country, Tom is on the Obamajority list for the US House of Representatives, they want to get him in there because they know he is going to be voting with them. They want to control the White House, 60 votes in the US Senate and a strong majority in the US House of Representatives."

Goode is famous for using bogeymen to scare people, he attacked Rep. Keith Ellison for being a Muslim and repeated tall tales about China that even Dick Cheney said where false.

Now he's found a new bogeymen. He's attacking the Obamajority, an ActBlue page started by a 14 year old blogger--me.
