Brothers and Sisters,
I just came upon this blasphemy this morning. We all know that Dear Leader is reaching out to all those nasty Republicans. Not that it will do much good as they are beyond redemption.

Anyway, here it is and it was headed by the following caption:

"Let me make this perfectly clear, I said come to the Healthcare Supper not Summit!"


I'm sure my Comrades can come up with better captions than mine so let the games begin.....

<PROG>
This is pure genius, terrific laff... and most accurate, I dare say!

"Obama's Alka-Seltzer Summit"

I come to bury health care, not to praise it.

I was hoping that it was all just a plan to get them all together in one room so Obama's SS body guards could blast them with those shiny new sawed off Remington 870 shotguns the IRS bought.

(The IRS, ATF and SS all work for the Treasury Dept. and I'm sure they share their toys like good girls and boys)

I wonder if they share their gun molls too. After all, if you are a good sharp shooter at say Waco or Ruby Ridge, you <i>deserve</i> to have your every need catered to. Especially if you've just shot a woman in her house. You would be very upset then and might need the services of two government-supplied sex workers.

Theo, I'm sure they're kept in suspended animation until needed. After all, any federal agent heroic enough to shoot a young boy in the back or his mother in the face while she holds a baby in her arms can't be trusted around Dear Leader.

And you sure wouldn't invite the crew that burned down a building with women and children inside to the White House, what with Michelle and the girls there.

No, I'm sure they're reassigned to ICE until some crisis requires them to be thawed out.

Comrades, I hear BAD NEWS for the Great One! Those nasty, foul-mouthed, hateful Republipukes were trying to read the very words of great Leader back to him! He was highly insulted & rightfully annoyed that they would dare quote him, needless to say. These lowlife Repubs are full of nasty tricks and I'm afeared it might be working. This isn't good for the collective.

Damn Republicans. You can't trust 'em, you can't dress them up and take them anywhere!

Guess who we're having for Supper? That's an old trick I learned from my old friend Hannibal back in Baltimore. Key word there is "have" and he meant it. Unlike some folks we know. Now where are those Fava beans?

Fear not, Obama taught them nasty Republican pigs a thing or two about class. He picked at his nose and glared at them hatefully. You can't ignore a message like that.

We'll get our revenge with those Rethuglicans. I bet there are Democrat senators who are so mad right now for how they treated Dear Leader at the summit, that they are now willing to go with the nuclear option, constituents be damned. And even if they don't get re-elected, it's okay. Anything to avenge the treatment of Dear Leader. No one should have the right to make a fool out of a fool the Messiah.

Very nice, Maksim; daily you remind me that having a copy of Photoshop doesn't make me an artists. But then having a brain doesn't make a prog use it either.

Leninka, my heart, which goes pit-a-pat at the very mention of His O'lness, hopes that you are right. But then let's recall that we progs are a practical sort. When we smell weakness, we attack. This is my way of saying we just don't know what ambitious prog Senators and Congressmen will do if they think that President is crippled.

But I'll be still. I'm sure that such fine people as Senators Schumer and Congressman Fwank will always be loyal.

Oh please, let the children play.
Why do you think they call it a "Snipe Hunt".
Without snipes there wouldn't be anything to hunt!

Here Snipe, Here Snipe.

Theo, get the sack ready. Maksim, Grigori...Whoopie, Leninka...anybody? Who has the club to whack the snipe with once we get it in the sack?
Of course we could just use Pinkie's shovel.

Our Dear Leninka warned us of the perils involved with inviting Rethuglicans to the Summit: A Republican's Nightmare

THE BLAIR HOUSE REJECT is another testimony to why Maksim is the Superkommissar! I've spent many a night at the Blair House. Every night at the stroke of midnight the ghost of Dick Nixon appears. He drags his heavy chains around the halls and wails; "I'm not a crook. I'm not a crook!".

Oh well, back to the Snipe Hunt.............

Comrades,

Dear Leader has set the stage for a glorious victory against these evil fascist Rethuglicans. Today was the very setup for them to hang themselves with their own words. As I watched the proceedings at the morgue today I couldn't help but notice the arrogant and petulant enlightened look of anger and impatience compassion on Dear Leader's face as he patiently listened to the truth about the Democratic plan to destroy our beloved Constitution their vile lies. He would then put them in their place with a great many pauses, stammers and mumbojumbo just a few swift and awesome statements. How fortunate we are to have this clown who everybody has already had enough of in just a little over a year our Messiah at the helm. By this time next week we will be celebrating the demise of this legislative piece of shit the glorious victory for the people and a victory for the nation the end of that hideous unequal Constitution.

The Glorious World of Next Tuesday is that much closer!

I remain,
Dr. Chicago

<PROGOFF>

Today Mr. Obama showed himself to be the amateur that he is. This was so bush league. It reminded me of the Olympics fiasco. You don't set these things up unless you know the outcome. His comment to McCain pissed me off. I didn't support McCain in the election but he still represents the people of Arizona and Barry was out of line.
I think that the Dems are waking up and I'm not too sure that they want to continue to hitch their wagons to this horse. I hope that what I witnessed today was the beginning of the unraveling of this administration and a swing back to conservative/libertarian government.

What is the combination between a snipe and an aardvark? A Snark (just in case you didn't already know this important fact).

With The Great Helmsman at the wheel of State, this is going to be an excellent Snipe Hunt.

I watched the Couric Head tonight and she informed the nation that Mr. Toyota's crying in public today is considered a great sign of virtue in Japan.

Thanks Katie. You'd think she'd also tell the nation that Japan just bought our debt off of China.

Or, it could be Aardsnipe.

Katy can never resist smirking or mocking an evil capitalist.

Czar Czar, That doesn't sound right. When you upload the selected image and click on it, it should appear where ever the cursor is within the body of the message. It's difficult to troubleshoot your problem from here. Click on Preview to see how the post would look regardless where the image appears. It may correct itself at that point. Or it could be your browser. I use Firefox, try downloading that if you don't already have it.

Thanks- I switched to firefox from IE and it works fine. Not my fav. browser, but... anything for the Common Good.

Czar Czar,

One good thing about Firefox is that you can go to "Tools" then from there, delete specific cookies whenever your computer slows down.

<style></style>Dear fellow Progressives & Comrade Whoopie specifically ~
I have been (gratefully?) lingering in the gulag for weeks. My hope and desire was to become part of the Party Elite and be able to write a Post. (I'm assuming that is how?)


So my humble question: Does anyone know, and care to share, the secret of gaining entry into the Party Elite? I've been Pending Approval for many weeks. I understand the Grand Dragon Moderator, Red Square, is perpetually busy. Is this the key, Approval from the Red one?
Or am I correct that my doom is to remain in said gulag? Is this the normal process? Or have I been chosen to remain in the outer, dejected & rejected ex-compatriots? sniff

I remain respectfully and diligently ~

Your gulag gal, Fraulein Pulloskies

"Ow, wait a minute, ow that's factually incorrect, ow what's that a prop? Ow I won John, ow, ow"

Fraulein, you can post, although it's recondite. Find the red bar at the top and press GroupThink.

Then People's Blog.

Up at the top there will be a button for New Topic. Post away.

Let me recommend that for your first post you at least twice cuss the Bu$hitler. It's a right of passage.

Thank you dear Theo, for your enlightenment and instructions! You have brightened the dreary gulag. I am truly feeling the real "hope" and "change" our precious Prince Barry promised.

Never have I seen so many metaphors captured in one pic. Obama, bull, backstabber, rammed through, hoisted on the horns of defeat, audacity, hope, arrogant reckless disregard, health care crisis and Gored (as in, lies like Al Gore).

Nice one Buffoon, pretty much sums up the whole dog and pony show.

"Bend Over, Grab Your Knees" the new socialist Democrat slogan. Gotta love the comrades.

Fraulein, the Democrats have given us two new pathologies. Democrat voters have sore knees from kneeling in front of their masters, giving them lip service. Lots of lip service.

All Americans, including the Democrats, are to be issued a seat cushion with a hole in the middle of it to ease that burning sensation after a good rogering by Washington.

Dear Commis Theo, I couldn't agree more with your assessment... in fact, if I did, I might end up in the ghastly gulag. As Harvey "the hemorrhoid" Henderson, said "resistance is futile". . . . but he could use one of those pillows.

Fraulein Pulloskies,

All you need to do is to go to the People's Forum Index (People's Blog) - after clicking on GroupThink. Once you see the page where all the Blog Posts are listed (remember, this is not the regular blog page--it's the page where all the blogs are listed in text only) guide your eyes to the top left corner of the list (not all the way to the top of the page). There you will see a little icon with a fist that says "New Topic." Click on the little icon, and voila!! You will be able to post a new topic. Just make sure it has a title. And don't get frustrated if you encounter a glitch or two. If at first you don't succeed, try again.

Here is the link:

I hope I can speak for others in the collective, that we are looking forward to your first post.

Mysterious Obama Body Talk!
By Pamalinsky
2/26/2010, 4:37 pm

Comrades, I observed our glorious leader, Obama, at yesterday's most important Hell Health Summit, DESPERATELY trying to make a point by holding his thumb and index finger about an inch apart. It was toward the end of his "summitation", if you want to see for yourselves. This went on for several minutes, but no one seemed to get it! I'm confused. What could this mean? I'm askin', could it be a measure of something? Perhaps the size of the bill that should, according to at least me, be made smaller? Or, could it be the actual size of The One's Johnson? Just askin'. Us normal little progs want to know! Anyone...Anyone!

It is the size of his Johnson. "I'm just as sure of this as I am that I'm well hung. This much! Michelle tells me so!"

Commissar Theocritus wrote:It is the size of his Johnson. "I'm just as sure of this as I am that I'm well hung. This much! Michelle tells me so!"

Thanks for backing me up, Theo! I was just trying to agitate my comrades in this regard! And, by the way, what the hell does Michelle know? Her testification that both of her darling daughters are, according to her, obese (NOT!), assures her that both of them will turn bulimic at one point or another. Hell, what's a couple of kids destroyed when it comes to "The Cause." Heh? The means always justifies the ends, heh, Comrades?

Fraulein Pulloskies!

I have always loved your input! The Cube really put me through my paces when I first joined in December of 2009. (You can see this by going to my first posts, especially around January 1st.) Red, and others, wanted to make sure I wasn't just another TROLL. I was just trying to find my Prog way. They knew that. They still mess with me a bit, but, they've made me stronger! I've learned so much about myself on this site! And, according to my standards, The Cube accepts me as I am! This, my dear Fraulein, is a good place to be!

I, though only a mere virgin prog, welcome you! A word of advice: Pay particular attention to Leninka, a very clear thinker, do not underestimate her title of Housekeeper (she ain't kidding about the housekeeping stuff): Commissar Theocritus, everyone's honey, the kindest impaler I've ever met! And, of course, the most esteemed, Red Square! He's the dude that makes this all possible! He only intervenes when absolutely necessary.

I, Pamalinsky, am still learning about all the benefits the Cube offers. You should try a stroll thru the Cube itself! I have done this and found it quite inspiring! It's HUGE!

The Cube encourages all new progs. They just want to know you ain't no troll. It's part of the process that "gets your mind right" Capiche? (That's just my opinion.)

The whole point of being here, IMHO, is to have fun, let your hair down, and be yourself!

My perception of The Cube changes every day! My guess is that yours will, as well!

Enjoy it!

Thank you, Leninka, I got it!

And many progressive thanks to you, Pamalinsky. Just as Comrade B J Clinton and our sweet collective friend, Tiger Woods, say - there's nothing as good as a Progressive virgin. I have so happy to be among the accepted masses of the Cube.

Did someone mention a Mr. Johnson? Is he a new Cube virgin too?

It is Prog lore that LBJ gave skinny-dipping parties to show off Johnson's Johnson. But that could be some backwoods thing from Texas. And you know how THEY are.

Yes, dear Theocritus, being originally from Texas before being forcefully transferred to the gulag, I understand that Mr. J's J enjoyed many a skinny-dip in the Gov. mansion, or so I heard. Just as Comrade Bill 'the cigar' Clinton had his simple (if not tiny) pleases in the Oral Oval office. But us Lady's don't dwell on such ghastly unmentionable doings. (cough cough)

Comrade Pamalinski,

Thank you for the compliment. Don't tell anyone however, that once in awhile I do skip my Jiffi-Lobos to sneak into a movie theater and watch two or three movies after a long morning at the welfare office, and this is why my thinking may yet have some clarity.

Comrade Pulloskies,

And here I thought you already knew how to post. Well, better late than never. We must all pull our weight around here, and other comrades seem too busy gallivanting around with some high official or another these days, to do many posts (you know who you are), the rest of us must take up the slack.

Dear comrade Leninka ~ How true it is, standing in line, waiting for government goodies, Welfare checks, and whatnot... it is true exhausting, is it not?! And these lousy capitalist give us no respect. They have no idea how hard it is to stay depended on our glorious government officials.
No, I admit, I hadn't posted and was a'feared I be thought a slacker. I'm certainly not a gallivanter and can only swoon over glorious High Officials and Party Elites. I will make a grandious effort to pull my own weight (Jenny Craig is leading the way).

Yes, I've heard a rumor that many are off kissing a certain big furry behind in exchange for baskets full of hyper-inflated iOTW bucks. Disgraceful!

And now if you'll excuse me I have to run over to the off-site gulag and stuff my pockets.

There are two schools of thought about posting. First, is it progressive to have a thought of your own? I mean, we progs have given up our souls for the Progressive World of Next Tuesday. So should we post at all?

But then there is never enough explication of a Holy Text. It's entirely possible to write pages and pages about the existential meaning of the precise distance of separate of Lord Awesome Zero's forefinger and thumb as he genteelly lets some Rethuglican dance on him with hob-nailed boots at his own health-care summit. We could post article after article about the calculations of his left eyebrow...

I figured as much, Leninka! In this context I would like to recommend the movie, Shake, Rattle and Rock (1994). A metaphor for our time, if I ever saw one! I saw this just a couple of hours ago.

A most refreshing view of life today!

That's just my opinion. Some reviewers hate it! I don't care!

Thank you for that recommendation. I hope it makes me even more progressive. Perhaps all movies really ought to be like Jiffi-Lobos, like the two top Oscar competitors this year - one vilifies marines, and the other examines them as a little boy would examine a bug in a bowl, so much so that even movie distributors are afraid to be accused of being too progressive for distributing it through the regular channels, but not to worry, Oscar is coming to the rescue.

Comrade Theo,

Nothing gives me more pleasure than to ponder Comrade O's left eyebrow, or his right one, for that matter.

He's just looked to see if his TelePrompTer has rebooted yet so he can have something to say.
