…maybe we can hope for a wardrobe malfunction…

Ok, I haven’t even read the post yet, but I love you for using a pic from Idiocracy, which I just saw last weekend and at the time thought it wasn’t all that great of a movie, but which continues to crack me up every time I think about it.

Now I’ll go read the post.

Did you know there are people (real, actual people that I’ve talked to) who don’t like that movie?

At least two of them live right here in Indiana. It’s SHOCKING.

Also, I think that Jesse’s parachuting in from a blimp wearing an orange hat is a good idea as well.

If Assrocket is almost funny, it’s only because he’s quoting some unknown Republican humorist. Those toga pics were on McCain’s website.

Stress-free scholarship, it is.

Ferox – well, it’s not a great movie. A lot more could have been done with the premise. But there’s lots of little stuff in it that’s just hilarious.

Just put Obama in a flight suit and have him land in the fake helicopter used in Miss Saigon. There’s no irony that wingnuts can ever understand. However, it would make the wingnuts heads explode, if after the speech, during the midst of the five minutes of applause, Barack picks up one of the greek columns and carries it to the other side of the stage. No reason, he just does it. Huge huge laugh.

Erm, yes, Hindrocket was quoting the toga stuff from a McCain website I think. Stress free scholarship and all that.

It’s not a great movie like Office Space isn’t a great movie. The part of our normal brains that’s used to create coherent, linear plots? Mike Judge scooped that out to make room for the cupcake.

wordpress can eat a bag of dicks.

Oh yeah that’s great, wordpress, delay my comments so it looks like I’m the dick. Passive-aggressive mamby-pamby razzm frazzm flim flam blim blam flarn filth flarn…

TOGA!

TOGA!

TOGA!

TOGA!

Senator Blutarsky would approve.

Whoah, John Hinderaker was just reciting off McCain campaign talking points! Color me [adjective deleted] surprised.

Republicans will regret their mockery when Obama calls the lightning down upon them.

Righteous Bubba said,

Ramen.

Did Idiocracy ever give any shout-out, either in the credits or in the form of an in-film gag, to CM Kornbluth?

Hmmm… Do you think maybe there’s a way to work in that scene from Mars Attacks where the black guy dressed as a roman guard boxes the Martian leader?

I am calling YOOOOOOOUUUUUUOOOOOOUUUOOOOOUUUOOOOOOOOOOUUUU!!!!

idiocracy isnt a movie, its prophecy.

That ‘The One’ ad – [adjective deleted] ridiculous. I know this is a dumb game, but imagine the outrage if someone were to say “you can’t vote for McCain because he thinks he’s God.”

The ad is [adjective deleted] over the [adjective deleted] top – but it’s okay because [adjective deleted] Mavericky McPOW-POW-POW is “running an honorable campaign”. [verb deleted] me with a [adjective deleted] [noun deleted].

I [adjective deleted] swear, if I had the chance to ask McCain just one question it would be face or gut “Do you actually believe that Barack Obama thinks of himself as Jesus or is your ‘The One’ ad just a big steaming pile of [adjective deleted] bullshit?”

Actually I’d probably come up with a better question than that (such as “You say that your comment about 100 years in Iraq is taken out of context and that the important issue is casualties – in that case Senator McCain, how many more casualties until we can withdraw from Iraq”), but it’d make my top ten for sure.

President…Dwayne…Elizondo…Mountain Dew…Herbert…Camacho

Obama

Shite Pyss Phuck Kunt Koksucker Mutherphucker and Tyts.

Silly Wangchuck. Republicans are the only ones who are allowed to think they’re they’re the One True Savior and/or have a direct like to GodCo. Democrats who do that aren’t worthy of your vote.

It’s like how Republicans are automatically assumed to love America 1,049%. Democrats have to PROVE IT in the Ring of Trials, like when Kirk and Spock had to fight to the death.

You guys crack me up. I love it. It helps me cope with the chuckle-nuts bobble heads I suffer through doing the convention “analysis.”

Quatloos! My Himalayan Bhutanese kingdom for quatloos!

Hey, everybody!

I just flew in from vacation, and boy are my arms tired.

Did I miss anything?

Oh, crap.

I made my comment before actually reading the linkedrivel. Wow. They are really trying to give a toga chant legs? I wonder if we can get the same young Republicans that were so wonderfully captured on video outside a Santorum Event chanting “Hey ho, hey ho, social security has got to go!” to give us their rendition.

there is nothing too stupid that Republicans won’t say.

Oh wait, that wasn’t the quatloo episode. That’s the one where Spock hits puberty and Carol Decker makes them fight to the death soundtracked by the greatest music ever composed.

Wait till Obama’s elected and the retardoCons will predict White House functions serving fried chicken and watermelon. Of course Bush served hamburgers and BBQ, but that’s different: he wasn’t a *real* Texas cowboy.

I can’t wait. I’m sorry, but if he thinks that looks dignified, take another look! As a former democrat turned independent, I am ready to rock and roll with laughter at this hoked up mess he’s concocted. This man was not even on the continent when your relatives were calling me nigger, nigger bitch, go home nigger, black nigger and whatever else they could think of to call me. He did not live in poverty as he claimed, and nor did the little bitch receive foodstamps, the damned liar. Food stamps was just an experiment back then. And have you all forgotten all the other things he has(n’t) done? Please! Give me a break. Lazy, damned do nothing liar is all that he is. Oh, but don’t worry, if he loses the preskinggodhood you can blame it on Hillary, that bitch is good to be blamed for anything you damned idiots please.

…Anyone wanna translate what Jazzylady just said?

How about Pluto Nash? I didn’t actually see it, but there’s gotta be something useful in that one.

Jesse’s post is perfected with the addition of your pic, Gavin.

Ow! My Balls!

…Anyone wanna translate what Jazzylady just said?

I’ll try: Obama han’t struggled like I’ve struggled, motherfuckers, it’s all a front, so I’m going to vote for Ralph Nader.

Is that close, JazzFusionlady? It’s a pretty good rant but that Hillary reference gives the game away at the end: I’d say it’s one of the TalkOutOfTheirAssesLeft loons.

I am a troll, please spend the rest of the thread talking about me.

After what I’ve seen so far, a set of Parthenon-style columns are going to look pretty prosaic & mellow … I mean, I know politics is show-biz & all, but JEEZUS H. MURPHY, they really punched the “Glitz” button up to 12 for the Dems’ shindig. It smells expensive as hell & looks ugly.

Not smart. Not smart at all.

Anyone that really thinks the whole “Hollywood Awards Show” motif is going over like gangbusters out in West Palooka County needs to give their head a shake. Also a bit shudder-inducing to think how much they’re blowing on said shindig – either they really truly do have this race sewed up tighter than a nun’s hoo-hoo in January, or that’s a buttload of campaign moolah that could be used to take the other side out, being blown on a big fat circle-jerk.

I’d worry more about the price-tag on those columns than whether or not a few whiny wingnuts think they’re too pretentious. The last thing Dems need right now is to be giving off the image of pitching money around like a lumberjack who just cashed his paycheck – that’s throwing John Sidney Wet-Start The Third a life-preserver.

Anyone that really thinks the whole “Hollywood Awards Show” motif is going over like gangbusters out in West Palooka County needs to give their head a shake.

Missed the whole thing, didn’t you?

Stop!

Amy-time!

Hey towwwphie, we feel the love, now cut out the crack, it does you no good, man.

shorter jazzlady: Help! Fully paid up members of the ruling class are being oppressed!

I loved Idiocracy, there were so many little things going on in it. I still laugh every time I go by a Starbucks… Gentleman’s Latte. St. God’s Memorial Hospital (running down the side of the building because they couldn’t plan to get the letters on straight). The crashed plane still stuck in the giant Costco. The fastfood-style keyboard for the hospital receptionist. H&R Block’s tax preparation with full release… “We were thinking you could all go at her… you know, family-style”…

Perpetual shorter Twooth: Can’t you see that man is a ni–?

The guy firing the gun is Michelle though right?

“what a gallery of drunks and losers”

That is no way for a conservative to talk about the Bush family.

Idiocracy is a documentary.

Teh Big Dog in re Obama: “He has the intelligence and curiosity every successful president needs.”

Haha! That’s right about the time that lil’ Georgie Bush started firing his pistol at the TV in the White House.

More Large Dog:

to be fair to all the Americans who aren’t as hard-core Democrats as we, it’s a philosophy the American people never actually had a chance to see in action fully until 2001, when the Republicans finally gained control of both the White House and the Congress.

Then we saw what would happen to America if the policies they had talked about for decades actually were implemented. And look what happened.

They took us from record surpluses to an exploding debt; from over 22 million new jobs to just 5 million; from increasing working families’ incomes to nearly $7,500 a year to a decline of more than $2,000 a year; from almost 8 million Americans lifted out of poverty to more than 5.5 million driven into poverty; and millions more losing their health insurance.

Now, in spite of all this evidence, their candidate is actually promising more of the same.

No wonder “truth” is crapping his pants. The most popular ex-president in history just gutted his pet revolution.

I love ‘Idiocracy’ also. I never could figure out the Starbuck ‘hand job’ riff though.

And the movie is filled with ‘so many little things’ that I just love. I sometimes watch it just to see the stage sets,,so much subtle detail went into the creation of the physical comedies.

And the fact that it received scant advertising makes me like it that much more. They really skewered Faux News. One of my fav parts are the newscasters from Faux. After showing the cleavage of the young pretty bubbleheadbleachblonde, they showed an over-the-hill on-the-scene reporter with middle-aged-cleavage spilling out.

Anyone want to help me out on the Starbuck thing?

Haven’t seen Idiocracy, but sounds an awful lot like The Marching Morons. Except Kornbluth didn’t play for laughs. Damn fine writer, though. Damn fine.

I am beloved of WordPress. Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!

“PREZ!”
“You’re damn right…”
“No one understands him but his cabinet…”

Best inauguration music EVER!

sightunseen: Joe (Not Sure) later sees in the giant CostCo that many of the chains he was familiar with (Starbucks, H & R Block, etc.) have become sex shops. Starbucks is mentioned because (a) they’re everywhere, just like here, and (b) Joe (Not Sure) really wanted a cup of coffee.

Clearly the wingnuts would have considered any possible set for Obama as disingenuous unless it directly lived up to their most lurid fantasies, including Indonesian Muslim jihad themes, surrendering to Al Qa’ida / France themes, Black Panther / Nation of Islam revolution hate whitey themes, fancy-prancy pagan worship of Mother Earth / hippie / Al Gore themes… You get the picture.

aw,
I can’t believe that man. You have the nerve to go and beg for attention. That’s unseemly. Plus your positions? Pffft. What in the world do you possibly mean. Seriously, grow up.

Shorter aw:
I…

And now I’ll followup with a bunch of links that demonstrate the wrong-ness of your position:
[link 1]

So, what do you have to say for yourself now?

Maybe the RePubs would be happy if the Dems designed a giant public mens room with a Coloreds Only sign on the door.

Except you might have trouble keeping former McCain campaign manager Bob Allen out of there…

OK, what about a set that resembles the back of a giant bus?

I think if Obama’s set were to be themed around electing John McCain, Republicans, and Right Wing Jesus, they might find it acceptable.

The fact is, concern. Elitist arrogant muslim-black power leftist, presumptuous arrogant greek coronation of media bias. Here in the Heartland, NASCAR, freedom USA-power free markets REAL Americans stay the course safe regular folks.

I was going to stop, but this aw (more like awwwwww, poor Princess Muffin), I just can’t let it stand. You want a fisking? Well a fisking we will go:

Just Alison: Several viewings of Idiocracy manages to convey the desired end-point world of the populist right wing better than any serious dystopia ever has.

Re: Funkdaddy

Well, they did play “Love Train,” to harken us back to DFH and early 70s economic doldrums.

Of course, I’d prefer some other form of locomotion, like say, “Love Rollercoaster,” or even “Truck Turner.” Followed by “(For God’s Sake Give More) Power to the People,” “Chocolate City,” and wrapping up with “One Nation Under a Groove.”

As amusing as it is watching the rightwing-Depends-freakout over candidate Obama, I have already started buying my popcorn now for when he names Chuck D head of Homeland Security and Ice T head of the CIA. The next 8 years are going to be awesome.

Of course, I’d prefer some other form of locomotion,
I would have gone for “Locomotive Breath” myself, which is one more reason why I am not invited to organise party conferences.

Hinderaker links to a Krauthummer column that’s idiotic by any standards. The commenters let him know it pretty well, too. One of my favs:

That’s right Mr. Krauthammer – Obama is participating in a big event both parties throw every four years called a CONVENTION.

[…] No on Obama By Doug Sadly, No gives us a visual for a wingnut’s view of […]

I didn’t think it was possible, but these guys are coming off as even more pathetic sore losers than they did when Clinton owned them. Twice. Deprived of their usual free (dare I say liberal) application of teh fear of brown people – which is a bit trickier to pull off when your opponent is one – and of that other old standby – “but…but…but…the SIXTIES!!! DIRTY F***ING HIPPIES!!!” – they are reduced to whining about stage decor. Not that they aren’t trying to use the only tools they’re comfortable with to turn this thing around…did anyone else here read the pitiful press release they put out yesterday, about how this is the 40th anniversary of William Ayers’ arrest for protesting at the 68 Dem convention? The Obama campaign response was short and succinct – a picture of a 7-year-old Barack Obama playing baseball, with the one sentence riposte: “In 1968, Barack Obama was 7 years old.”

Which translates as, “get a life, old man.”

So the greek columns aren’t supposed to invoke the front portico of the Lincoln Memorial, on the anniversary of MLK’s “I have a dream” speech?

Yeah, that Lincoln. Crypto-liberal! Must have been a Democrat, I tells ya.

Idiocracy – meh. One, too many stupid people, so not enough opportunity for interesting/witty dialogue. Two, unbelievably sexist. The second smartest person in the world gets to be…a wife. While the vice president is a drooling retard.

FÜCK WordPress

BWAHAHAHAHAHHAAHA111!!one

Oh man. BWAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Krauthammer accusing Obama of imperialism? just a sec…

HAHAHHHAHHA–BWAAA HA HA aHA HA!

From the Jesse Taylor pandagon piece:

If he takes it to Invesco Field and parachutes in from a blimp and starts shooting streamer guns into the audience in a giant orange top hat, it would be compared to the awesomest shit that ever happened.

Amen.

And then the pillars open up and bikini-clad-go-go-booted-big-haired fly girls come prancing out – and then Michelle Obama rolls in on a Harley, with an M-60 strapped to her back and she says something really emasculating – and then Barry grabs the M-60 and it turns out to be AN ELECTRIC [expletive deleted] GUITAR!!!!

He needs to come down the aisle of Invesco Field to the stage wearing the Apollo Creed outfit from Rocky, tossing those new gold dollars into the crowd, step up on stage and start shuffling and dancing around, like he’s warming up for his fight.

A giant poster of McCain would then unfurl, and Obama would point and go “YOU! I WANT YOU!”

Michelle could come out as the ring card girl, in a one piece by La Blanca and Jimmy Choos.

Oh, but don’t worry, if he loses the preskinggodhood you can blame it on Hillary, that bitch is good to be blamed for anything you damned idiots please.

Lady, I was deep enough in Hillary’s pocket to count pubic hairs.

You nuts, girl!

Chuck D head of Homeland Security

I believe that job belongs to the S1Ws.

And I think Chuck mighta said something about govt work once…

I got a letter from the government
The other day
I opened and read it
It said they were suckers
They wanted me for their army or whatever
Picture me given a damn – I said never

Ahh, Chuckles K. The greater of the two Chuckles, but beating out Chuckles J. isn’t really worth writing home to mom over.

Or maybe he’ll just do a Napoleon and coronate himself.

Aww. Cry about it, you imperialistic, warmongering wuss. After carrying water and putting band-aids all over Mr. Decider-Guy, you have the nerve to whine about Democrats celebrating Democrats? Waah, waah, waah. Boo hoo hoo.

I am so looking forward to the GOP convention, when these dorkuses have to live through back-to-back nights of Bush and Cheney speeches. Oh yes, we’re the presumptuous ones. I’m sure Bush won’t gloss all over his Worst Presidency Ever, and I’m sure that you won’t say how much this country is gonna miss the West Texan(TM). Right. I’m sure you won’t be presumptuous at all.

Morons.

And as much as I lo-ho-ho-hoathe linking to Shakesville, let this be the ultimate answer to GOP whining over Obama’s stage.

One of the things I loved about Idiocracy: the morphing of Fuddruckers into Buttf***ers, complete with the little kids having a birthday party there. (shakes fist at WP)

Gosh, it’s not like the Greeks are associated with democracy or the founding of the philosophy that eventually inspired the Founding Fathers…

If this is the best the GOP has, McCain is going to get his clock cleaned come debate time. And that is where these elections are decided, not the conventions.

McCain is going to get his clock cleaned come debate time. And that is where these elections are decided, not the conventions.

The elections are decided via electoral votes. Al Gore won the debates and won the popular vote.

Shite Pyss Phuck Kunt Koksucker Mutherphucker and Tyts…

How may I direct your call?

Conservatives & Republicans are the guardians of Western Culture and Western Values against the Islamosexual Caliphate, but all that damn Greek looking stuff is gay & sh*t.

I don’t know what to say about “the debates”, because a lot of people in 2004 thought Bush Jr. did better than Kerry, and it took me a long time to understand that what they meant by “better” was “louder” — i.e., YOU TELL TONY BLAIR!!! YOU TELL TONY BLAIR!!! with Bush Jr. screaming at the moderator.

Apparently a lot of this country and maybe a majority of its punditocracy felt that type of Bush Jr. behavior was manly and passionate instead of an angry drunken caveman seizure.

Hey “Truth”: Instead of messing around with all the “Affirmative Action” bullshit; why don’t you just call Obama a “nigger” and be done with it? I mean, for the sake of brevity and all….

I wish this weren’t true, but debates really don’t count for shit. Virtually everybody who pays attention has already made up their mind; they’re just hoping to see their guy score some points off the other guy.

If debates really mattered, Kerry would’ve trounced Bush by 15 points in 2004.

So noodling around the House of Kaus, I found this:

Biden’s assertions about Obama’s foreign-policy judgment may or may not stick. But he’s got a much better chance of fulfilling the traditional attack role. He was all over John McCain Wednesday night—and will be for the rest of the race. He has perfected the senatorial two-step of lathering his victim in friendship first (“John McCain is my friend”) before dismantling him repeatedly. That lends weight to the attacks, and Biden knows his brief when talking about foreign affairs.

Emphasis mine. Dear wingnuts, if you think that constant ranging ODS over even minute details is going to be a sufficient argument, may you live in interesting times.

Obama is officially nominated and today the Dow is rising. Ya think the Kudload will see a connection?

I am longing for someone to find an Architectural Digest spread about the homes of John and Cindy McCain, featuring their Doric-columned portico.

anyone?

g,

I’d bet Cliff Schecter has some video over at Brave New World Films.

That Negro Obama will be using a Greek Temple for his acceptance. What an arugula-chomping elitist!

Us heartland republicans will be doing a much better thing for my acceptance speech.

They are preparing a mock-up of the cell that I spent 5 1/2 years in. I will make my acceptance speech while shackled to the bed.

Take THAT, you lousy LIE-bruls!

“It is to be amused a fukwad.”

Fixed.

“I am so looking forward to the GOP convention, when these dorkuses have to live through back-to-back nights of Bush and Cheney speeches.”

My media handlers/bosses have told me that there is this Innertubes tradition called “Shorter …..”.

I have seen the speeches my bosses – oops, my friends – George and Mr. Cheney have written. Here is the shorter version of them, so you LIE-bruls don’t have to sully our glorious convention by viewing it:

“Fear everything and everybody that isn’t white, especially uppity Negroes running for president. I wanna FEEL your fear and hatred!”

I just wanted to remind everyone what John “I’m Ready to be President” McCain was doing on the day Katrina hit New Orleans, August 29th, 2005:

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2005/08/images/20050829-5_p082905pm-0125-515h.html

That’s right, eating cake with George “Helluva Job Brownie” Bush.

Maybe that Twin Cities crack was justified.

g,

Sadly, the Architectural Digest coverage of the McCain Mansion
http://www.architecturaldigest.com/homes/features/archive/mccain_slideshow_072005?showall=true
shows that it was done in South-West “style”. The biggest accusation that can be levelled at them from the slide show is that they appear to have an inordinate fondness for folk art. Besides, they sold that dump for $12 million.

The double condo is at 2211 Camelback.
http://www.2211camelback.com/views%20NE.htm
Which is of a much more modern design.

And I suspect that even Cindy McCain would draw the line at classical columns at the Sedona ranch.

Um, re the columns: As today is the 45th anniversary of MLK’s “I have a dream” speech, I rather suspect they’re meant to evoke the Lincoln Memorial.

But I suppose one can’t expect the Goopers to remember that since their guy is one of the people who voted against making King’s birthday a holiday ….

All I know is that I can’t wait for this great big concern circle jerk of media “coverage” of the DNC to end.

I’d rather have two FOX News style stations full of retard conservatives to contend with than the tremulous ignorance of MSNBC’s and CNN’s juvenile attempts at being journalists.

I think this has been conveyed already, but I find that a lot of comments work better if you de-euphemize them.

“Elitist” == uppity
“Presumptuous” == uppity
“Celebrity” == uppity

Also Partial Birth Abortion of a Nation is my favorite name of the day.

So, Is McPOW going to pick that ethical, honorable Joseph Lieberman, or Mittens? I’m simply giddy with anticipation. Either way, it will be the winningest ticket EVER!

“Presumptuous.” This, from the party that created the “The Touch Of President Bush Healed This Child” advertisement.

(I wish I could claim credit for remembering that…but it was my wife.)

What? There was a campaign ad about Bush touching children? (Seriously, what ad do you mean?)

It was a dark and stormy night…..

What? There was a campaign ad about Bush touching children? (Seriously, what ad do you mean?)

Both are very very alpha-domination idiosyncrasies.

Doctorb, I think it was a reelection ad in 04 that had a woman saying that Bush touched her child and she was healed–that the kid had been depressed and uncommunicative after 9/11 or something like that. Man, I wish I could find it. Surely someone else remembers it, someone with better search-fu than me.

I thought the set was redolent of the White House.

Why is everybody obsessing over Obama’s ‘African-American’ selfness? Canadian media can’t shut up about it either. What a bunch of wankers, it’s really not that big a deal.

How about intelligence, determination, credentials, charisma, relative youth and a lack of spot-changing as we usually see, don’t those qualities count anymore?.

Doesn’t the fact that the guy is the best candidate for Prez to come down the pike in a long time mean anything? It sure does to me.
