Those Who Forget History Will Get Their Junk Squeezed
As seen in PJ MediaAre you enamored with the size and curvatures of our big, loving government? Do you yearn for a quick and easy romantic bonding? Try screening procedures at your local airport. You'll establish an intimate bond for life. Critics may call it a "junk bond," but that's true only according to their old-fashioned value system with its absolute standards - an absurdity in the era of relative Keynesian morals and redistributive justice.
In the eyes of the big, loving government you are a "junk asset" in need of security and equal protection. In practical terms this translates to an equal redistribution of pat-downs, as well as massive participation in the making of completely unbiased naked videos regardless of age, gender, body type, or membership in a certain murderous cult you may or may not belong to.

PJTV Video Interview with the Author of Shakedown Socialism
I'm told it came out fine, although as the interviewee I felt that the filming ended before I began to talk. Next time I'll use shorter sound bites. Or try to talk faster. Or borrow a teleprompter from somebody.I'm also told that my monotone and the expressionless face work in a deadpan sort of way for people who know me, but others might tune out too early to benefit. My answer to that is that if they think my voice is monotone, let them hear me type! Besides, that expressionlessness is used to disguise my very emotional gentle side - except when it's used to disguise my wild and crazy Party animal side.

FROM OUR ARCHIVES: Thanksgiving With A Space Alien
Last Thursday a flying saucer landed in my backyard. A friendly, if slightly disoriented alien pilot told me he needed a drink. I had just what he wanted, since this was Thanksgiving and all.
His name was Ollie and he came to Earth looking for an honest, self-reliant, optimistic, and technically inclined nation that could benefit from a contact with his more advanced civilization.
"Whoa, whoa!" I raised my finger. "To call yourself advanced you must take at least three diversity training classes. What planet are you from, really?"

Progressive Thanksgiving Prayer: Blessing of the Taxes
Let me, Dear God, shift the paradigm on this Thanksgiving and blissfully give thanks for the gift of government, and thank the government for the gift of taxes. Bless my taxes, O God! Give me peace of mind as I rejoice in filling out forms and returning money to its rightful owner, the government. Keep me joyous, I pray, as I write out those checks. Yea, Lord, we know that there is little reason to be joyous with this Administration's imperialism and impending rape of the Iranian peaceful energy program, but the thought of a new tax year still brings to us a swelling tear of joy. And whisper to me, Lord, all the good reasons that I send my money to my government every year.MORE
Janet Napolitano Unveils New TSA Public Relations Campaign
In an effort to boost compliance with new full-body scan policy, Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano volunteers to pose in front of the scanner for a TSA poster to be displayed at all airports as part of the TSA public relations campaign. (Scroll down for rejected TSA logos).In related news, a previously unknown group of Straight Rights Activists has started a petition asking why gay men get to have their genitals groped by same-sex TSA officers, while straights can't get the same treatment from members of the opposite sex.
The straight activist group demands the "right to be groped" by a woman instead of a man during the screening procedures at airports. Enhanced pat-down with romantic music and candle light is desirable but optional.

I Had The Obama Hormone!
Confessions of a former teenage communist Casanova
As seen in PJ MediaHave you ever had an obnoxious television show character's behavior remind you of a time in your past when you similarly behaved like a jerk? And now, years later, it makes you blush?
That is precisely what I felt watching our president's post-election press conferences and interviews. Even after the nation clearly rejected his agenda, he continued to insist that he had done nothing wrong - he had simply failed to make the country understand that whatever he did was "the right thing." I knew exactly what he meant. As a teenager, I used to think like that. In his mind, a rejection was always the result of a misunderstanding - an error of perception - and I sincerely promised to "listen hard" in the future, without really meaning it.

The (Oval) Office - Hot Sitcom Spin-off Coming Soon
As seen on Right NetworkTired of denying the obvious, makers of the popular TV sitcom The Office have admitted that Scranton is indeed the birthplace of vice president Joe Biden, and that countless parallels between their hilarious episodes and the daily interactions of a group of idiosyncratic characters in Barack Obama's Oval Office are not coincidental. Unable to process all the rich comedy ore oozing out of the White House, Office producers have given up rewriting it in allegoric terms and decided to go with a straight reenactment in a new side-splitting and faster-paced spin-off - The (Oval) Office.
The cast of characters include president Barack (Barack Obama), who thinks he's the coolest, funniest, best president ever - which, of course, makes him the uncoolest, most obnoxious and annoying president as far as the country is concerned...

One Nation Fizzles Together: Pictures from 10/2/10 Rally in DC
The One Nation Working Together rally held in Washington on October 2, 2010, was hyped up as the Left's ultimate answer to Tea Parties - but it became a failure as the troops deserted the battlefield littered with socialist signs and free lunch boxes. The Democrats, the unions, and supportive radical groups had pulled resources together, aiming to quell America's thirst of freedom with deafening demands of free stuff. But all the free buses, free supplies, free lunches, and free media promotion didn't save the supposed mega-anti-Tea-Party palooza from becoming a dud - just like Obama's failed economic reforms based on a similar wasteful model. In the ancient, pre-Obama world, people would call this rally a mountain that gave birth to a mouse. In the modern frame of reference, it was a supersized free lunch followed by a tiny burp.MORE
Red Square's Answer to Colbert's Testimony in Congress
Red Commissar Tells Congress: 'Shoveling Good for Americans'
WASHINGTON -- Comrade Red Square made a highly bizarre - and occasionally lucid -appearance before a congressional committee on Friday to testify about the benefits of migrant labor force to one-party rule. Staying in character as People's Director of Unanimity and Redistribution of Speech, Red Square also shared his 'vast' experience in the proper conduct of party purges, as well as demonizing and crushing the opposition. Red Square told lawmakers that a day shoveling beets alongside migrant masses convinced him that the peasant class is a "great, great alternative to the unreliable American voters."MORE
Obama Confirms Threat: "Cash Burning Will Happen"
Threat to Burn Money 'Recruitment Bonanza' for Tea Parties
As seen on RightNetwork.comThe Leader of a small but vocal fundamentalist cult in Washington, DC, says he will go ahead with his plan to burn a pile of taxpayers' dollars this Friday.<
Scheduled to take place in front of the White House, the money-burning ceremony will kick off a planned "systematic campaign of burning, shredding, drowning, catapulting, and otherwise obliterating trillions of tax dollars throughout the nation until the 2012 elections," declared Barack Obama, the shadowy figure behind this controversial plan. "My faith tells me that all money is evil; burning your tax dollars is my protest against the values of this prosperous nation that I have sworn to fundamentally bankrupt," he said.

9-11 Rally at Ground Zero: Are You an Islamophobe?
Our friends who were on the stage with Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer at the Stop Islamization of America rally at Ground Zero have already given us a full account, with great pictures of the speakers. But my report is about what happened in the back of the crowd and on the outskirts.
The police made my job difficult by herding the demonstrators into tight pens, restricting movement on the sidewalks, and blocking most side streets from pedestrian traffic. I don't think many people have walked that day as much as I have, taking pictures in many different places, including the opposition rally next the City Hall. I also snapped pictures of "Islamophile" infiltrators and their signs.
So this should be a very informative report.

Beer and Bacon at Ground Zero Community Mosque on Friday
A little bird told me today that the worshipping Muslim collective of the Ground Zero community was having its weekly meeting this Friday at the Cordoba House Mosque, conveniently located next to the remains of the infidel community at Park Place 51 in Manhattan. The same bird insisted it had reliable information from "insider" sources about a gathering of protesters, even though it was a day away from the big 9-11 rally. Some of them came to support anyone's right to say Allahu akbar while ramming planes into skyscrapers, and some others came to oppose it.So I took my camera and went to take a look.
The bird lied. That is, the protesting community was there, and so were numerous media organs. But the anticipated Muslim teach-in, sit-in, and bendover-in by the local Islamic community had been suspended by the City until next week, to avoid possible scheduling conflicts with certain arriving Koran-burn-in communities.

Glenn Beck Rally vs Sharpton Rally: Correcting the Messages
On August 28, 2010 we joined other progressive reporters who infiltrated Glenn Beck's rally in Washington in order to observe, take compromising pictures, and manufacture a plausible Current Truth, so that our sophisticated readers would know what to think.Like many media organs, we had reserved a template page for the most ridiculous protest signs. All we needed was to photograph those signs and fill in the blanks to match our pre-approved hilarious captions. But the untrustworthy Beck preempted our planning by forbidding all signs. It forced us to revise our talking points. The new and improved Current Truth states: the lack of hand-written signs means that the rally lacked a discernible message. It can also mean that none of Beck's followers can read or write, and that these illiterate home-schoolers have never mastered the essential skills of holding a crayon or finger-painting.

The Professional Left vs. the Amateur Right
As seen on PJ Media [OUT OF KARAKTER]Of all the slips of the tongue and unintentional admissions by this administration, Robert Gibbs' "Professional Left" comment may well be the one they wish they could squeeze back into their collective windpipe the most. That was, perhaps, the first objective analysis we've heard from Gibbs in his career as Obama's press secretary - and it's likely to be the last one. For speaking his mind, Gibbs has been urged to resign in disgrace, as if he had committed treason. But why the uproar? Just who exactly is the Professional Left?The term "Professional Left" denotes a growing industry that specializes in converting other people's money into an ideological product, while making a good living out of it in the process.
The first rule of the Professional Left is, you do not talk about the Professional Left.

Obama's Keys To The Car Speech
Great presidents make great speeches. Kennedy had his Ask Not speech, Lincoln's The Gettysburg Address, and there's FDR's unforgettable Infamy speech. Obama is the greatest of them all, and clearly his Keys To The Car metaphor will soon became his greatest speech. We must give it time to mature, though, because this speech is still under development.He used it a few weeks ago as a simple driving a car metaphor, "Republicans had been driving the car for eight years. It went into the ditch. And now that Democrats have dug the car out., the Republicans want back the keys." Last week he expanded the ditty with a new line about Republicans sipping Slurpees as they watched Democrats dig out the car - a brilliantly presidential move. Then a few days later he added mud, bugs, and boots. With the president in campaign mode until November, "Keys To The Car" is expected to grow into a two-hour-long routine with many quotable one-liners, destined to go down in history.
With this in mind I started thinking about Hollywood and the Obama-inspired films they'll surely be making for years to come. And since car flicks have been a mainstay for Hollywood as well, the two genres may subsequently merge into one. I have some movie re-make ideas for them to consider.

Obamao's Famed 27-Hour Swim to Deep Horizon and Back
A note to skeptics: Obamao is a real living mythical creature first found in China and then in the U.S.One of Obamao's early speeches, titled "From The Bottom Up," was devoted to the benefits of politically correct swimming. It taught the American people, women, and minorities, how to stay afloat in preparation for the radiant, shovel-ready future. True to his own rules, Obamao swam wherever he could. His penchant for swimming made it an accepted physical activity for many Americans, who until then never heard of water. In 1970, Obamao swam for the first time in Hawaii, where village elders taught him the secret of the Hawaiian dog paddle. It inspired him to compose a glorious autobiography and become the first American President.
On the 40th anniversary of that great event (August 14, 2010), jubilant masses of Floridians, tourists, and Gov. Charlie Crist crowded the beaches to participate a great "Suspend-the-Disbelief" extravaganza celebrating their First President who discovered water. Obamao attended the event and personally swam to stress his wholehearted support for the importance of swimming, just like Mao before him in the Yellow River, which famously launched the Cultural Revolution of 1966.

Pimp My Mosque: Speech Codes of the East and West

Pedophiles welcome: girls as young as 12 years of age are standing by.

Obama: Al Qaeda Racists Give Radicals a Bad Name
In a last-ditch effort to find a moral justification for a war that his radical leftist base could accept, President Obama attributed recent bombings in Africa to al Qaeda's bigotry, describing the terrorist masterminds as racist radicals. Accompanied by a somber Rev. Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and NAACP President Ben Jealous, President Obama read a joint declaration denouncing al Qaeda's bigoted practice of "sacrificing innocent African life" as a means to hit a legitimate Western target.To cover all possible bases, the declaration included a list of other random offenses, such as, the terrorist group's failure to embrace the local LGBT community, their complete lack of interest in environmental activism and in raising awareness about climate change, turning a blind eye to the existence of a "glass ceiling" for female suicide bombers, and a few documented instances of not separating paper from plastic. "This is not a behavior most self-respecting radicals would condone, nor expect from fellow radicals," Obama said.

4th of July: The Alternative Secret History of the World
On the Fourth of July Americans will be cynically celebrating the greatest setback world progress has ever endured in all of human history. The rest of humankind will, of course, be grieving over the dark day when the United States of America was born. To understand the full scope of this tragedy we must look back at the pre-7/04 world and see what it was like to live on planet Earth before 1776. Prior to July 4, 1776, not a single person in the world starved, got sick, worked hard for a living, or experienced any pain and anxiety. No one had ever been oppressed or unfairly exploited because the oppressive and unfair American system had not yet been created.

FROM THE PEOPLE'S ARCHIVES: TAX DAY HOPE & JOY
To automate the growing number of grievances, reduce paperwork, and bring the grievance collecting into the 21st century, the Obama Administration has created a new agency, the U.S. Department of Grievances, linked with other agencies and taxpayers through the newly launched Hope'N'Change Operating System.
Given that the most optimistic evaluation of Obama's stimulus plan included this language, "If we do everything right, there's still a 30 percent chance we'll get it wrong," and that the government's record of "getting everything right" is shaky at best, the new department's current goal is to prepare for the impending "30%" outcome.
If you and your family find yourself among the 30-percenters, you may submit your Grievance Report, which the government will redress within the limits of its estimated efficiency rate of 70%.

You can't imagine life without your pet - just like your next door neighbor whose companion happens to be human - yet you are denied the same rights, respect, and recognition that your neighbor enjoys - only because your companion happens to be a member of another species.

Grievance Reporting for Hope'N'Change Operating System
To automate the growing number of grievances, reduce paperwork, and bring the grievance collecting into the 21st century, the Obama Administration has created a new agency, the U.S. Department of Grievances, linked with other agencies and taxpayers through the newly launched Hope'N'Change Operating System.
Given that the most optimistic evaluation of Obama's stimulus plan included this language, "If we do everything right, there's still a 30 percent chance we'll get it wrong," and that the government's record of "getting everything right" is shaky at best, the new department's current goal is to prepare for the impending "30%" outcome.
If you and your family find yourself among the 30-percenters, you may submit your Grievance Report, which the government will redress within the limits of its estimated efficiency rate of 70%.

GLORY BE TO THE PARTY!
If you have seen yesterday's announcement about the site's glorious people's upgrade, you may think that this is it. But let it be known that the selfless database conversion has been a heroic, massive, and unparalleled failure! As Karl Marx has predicted, the old content refused to be redistributed equally in the new Party-approved space.We shall redouble our efforts and in the next few days hope to achieve a glorious liquidation of the digital kulaks and saboteurs that stand in the way of the people's unstoppable march towards a just and equitable user experience and website functionality.
In the meantime, consider yesterday's announcement an International April Fools Joke. In fact, we must strive to make the Day of World-Wide Solidarity of Fools happen not just in April, but all year round!

A Glimpse Into the Future... Obama's LAST Day in Office
Comrades, recently I called in a favor from an apparatchik in Colonel 7.62's department and obtained a combination Visa to The Future™ and hall pass. I was wondering what kind of glorious utopia awaits us when Chairman Obama's work is done well underway and Changeable Hopeyness has taken hold. With the benefit of the top-secret technology in the Department of Chronological Warfare (and a couple of cartons of cigarettes), I was able to take a look...The date: January 20, 2019*, Chairman Obama's last full day in office. Here is his top secret schedule from that day...

Cindy Sheehan's New Website Tea-bagged by the People's Cube
OFF KARAKTERMetaphorical tea-bagging befalls moonbats who become overconfident and register activist ".org" sites without a ".com" version.
Which is exactly what happened to Cindy "campout" Sheehan and David "Gloria" Swanson when they started peaceoftheaction.org as part of a new scheme to lure the unwashed progs into a tent camp in front of the White House, to shake fists and demand a surrender of America's "imperial forces" to all enemies, foreign and domestic. A People's Cube member who discovered their omission immediately bought peaceoftheaction.com for us to play with...

China Says U.S. Too Big To Fail, Offers Obama Bailout
During the recent meeting with President Obama, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao minced no words when he stated that "immediate action is necessary to keep a once prosperous nation" from falling flat on its face. "If the U.S.economy collapses, so will China because we are so heavily invested in your country," said Wen Jiabao. "We thought we were investing in a nation of the world's greatest entrepreneurs, but a recent analysis shows that America has become little more than a home to overpaid union workers, whiney media, and spoiled welfare recipients."
"Our fears were confirmed last year when Americans elected you, Mr. Obama, as their president. But, to use one of your own expressions, America is too big to fail and so we will have to bail you out. This is no longer your decision. As your biggest creditor, we will now decide how to get the best return on our investment. You got elected on a vague promise of change; now we're giving you the specifics."

The uncontested absurdities of today are the accepted slogans of tomorrow. They come to be accepted by degrees, by precedent, by implication, by erosion, by default, by dint of constant pressure on one side and constant retreat on the other - until the day when they are suddenly declared to be the country's official ideology. ~ Ayn Rand
