He Says Without Irony...

I've decided to start laughing at the Obama Amateur Hour Variety Show. We dissenters have no control, nothing really to fight back with except prayer and our 2010 vote. So, here tonight's entry for best joke of the day. Imagine our straight-man-in-chief, saying, less than a week after he signed the Piracy Act of 2009 (version 1) into law...
... he is determined to "get exploding deficits under control" and said his budget request is "sober in its assessments, honest in its accounting, and lays out in detail my strategy for investing in what we need, cutting what we don't, and restoring fiscal discipline." (Washington Post)
Ahh ...[wipes tear from eye] that's a good one! BTW, his plan includes letting the Bush tax cuts lapse so that capital gains and "the wealthy" take a hit. He's also talking about raising corporate tax rates. Now, there are some proven methods of stimulating job creation for ya'! Oh, Barry... you card! Of course "killing" Iraqis and Afghanis by reducing our discretionary spending on the War on Terror is not going to be a euphemism for making them laugh really hard, but whatever.

Break out the hammer and nails boys! Barry's going to try out every progressive theory in his first 100 days and we may finally be able to bury useful idiocy for good! He may take America with him, but at least we can have a good laugh before we go.

Waaaaaaaahahaaa. I'd laugh if it weren't so scary. Have you read the latest VDH piece.

You're right, Western Chavu-

It's like standing on the bow of the Titantic, knowing you're going down, but listening to the captain tell everyone that the boat can't sink; that there will be happy hour later on, and by the way - those in first class who paid for the life rafts won't be allowed to use them.
Hope you can tread water!
Thanks for a dying last laugh...

Bam told us that these terrible deficits, which he took the trouble to inform us "which I inherited" lest there be any taint of blame upon his majesty, must be halved. But he just doubled the deficit.
This is how they sell womens clothing. We wish to sell our $10 shoes, for $40, so we market them at $160, red tag them for $80, and blow them out at $40.

Thanks for your comment xlbrl. And you are so right! I hadn't thought of the womens clothing analogy, but it fits perfectly. You inspired my latest post about the "I got a bargain" defense. Thanks.
