Hi-Larious Obamaisms!

Thursday, February 5th, 2009

In this new segment, we collect the glory of President Obama’s crazy oratory stumbles and malapropisms! Hey, Bush, we miss ya but Obama’s taken the baton pretty well!!!

The first one!

Today Obama gave a news conference regarding the pending vote in the Senate for his stimulus package. Check out what he said!

“…and we learned that, last week, the number of unemployment claims jumped 600– um jumped to 626,000…”

Ha! Ha! Ha! At first, he said that the unemployement claims jumped, not that they jumped to! What did they jump, Mr. President? 12 buses like Evel Knievel did?? HA! HA!

And, at first, Obama said, 600! Yeah, uh, I think the unemployment claims are a tad above 600 there, Einstein! HA! Ha! (However, you did correct yourself immediately.) Ha! HA!

Here’s another one!

“We’re not going to get relief by turning back to the very same policies that, for the last eight years, doubled the national debt and threw our economy into a tailspin. We can’t embrace the losing formula that says only tax cuts will work for every problem we face, that ignores critical challenges like our addiction to foreign oil, or the soaring cost of health care, or failing schools and crumbling bridges and roads and levees. I don’t care whether you’re driving a hybrid or an SUV — if you’re headed for a cliff, you’ve got to change direction.”

Uh…Some SUVs are hybrids, genius! Oh my god! And THIS is our president!?!? HA! HA! LOL!

Obama

Our president. Mr. Articulate…Yeah, right!

Bailey McAdams Speaks Up on California’s Prop 8

Sunday, November 2nd, 2008

Our conservative columnist Bailey McAdams is back on TheDirk to give some straight talk to the American people:

Well, this Tuesday, voters across this great land will be going to the polls and electing our next president of the United States. And every one of them should get a sticker as they hand in their ballot. This sticker says, “I Voted.”

But imagine if that sticker said, “I Voted…For Gay Marriage.” How would it feel to wear that on your lapel? Or how about over your mouth and nose, so you couldn’t breathe? Or what if you wore it sort of lodged into your eye. You wouldn’t want that, right? So, if you wouldn’t wear a sticker that said you voted for gay marriage, that’s an indicator that you shouldn’t vote for gay marriage!

And if you California voters don’t vote YES on Proposition 8, homosexuals (including gays, gaywads, and gayrods) will continue to be able to legally marry in that state. And that ain’t some sticker (as you’ve probably guessed); that’s real.

First of all, if gay marriage continues to be legal, it would mean little California children will be taught about homosexuality in school! Think about it: Imagine, your little son or daughter sitting in the classroom, building a time machine or whatever kids do now in school, and the teacher inevitably says, “Gather around kids. We’re going to have our lesson about married couples.”

Now, if your child asks this teacher about why a man and woman live together, the teacher can obviously simply say, “Because they love each other and want to live together.” Innocent enough, and teaches the concept of love and commitment. Fine.

But, what if your little one asks why a man and a man live together? Well, what else can the teacher say but “Because they like to stroke each other’s cock and lick they balls noisily and ram it in each other hard. And put things in their anuses”? How else would they explain this crime against God? I can’t think of a tamer way. And imagine your child hearing this obscenity in their classroom! Needless to say, his/her cute little innocence would be lost forever.

So, if you vote against Prop 8, you’re right; your voting sticker won’t literally say, “I Voted…For Gay Marriage.” But it will say, “I Voted…To Destroy Children.” (Although, not literally.)

CNN Discovers Existence of Green States

Atlanta, GA — During yesterday’s edition of the popular political pundit programme “The Situation Room,” CNN’s usually steady Wolf Blitzer seemed taken aback when he turned to the large electoral map of the upcoming presidential election. Viewers were most likely startled as well when they saw that Hawaii and Minnesota were colored neither red nor blue to designate preponderance of Republican or Democratic votes, respectively. The two states weren’t even purple, which would indicate a statistical tie in predicted voting results.

They had become green.

“We don’t know what the color means,” said a bemused Blitzer, if “bemused” means “confounded.” “It doesn’t mean a tight race in the state, which would be purple. And it of course doesn’t mean Republican or Democratic.”

And no one else at the 24-hour cable news network seemed yet to know what the new color represents either. “We just don’t know yet and are doing what we can to find out,” shrugged Tonya Andresen, Director of News Reporting at CNN.

The current red, blue, and purple color designations were invented by the news teams of the major television networks over the course of the last 35 years and have become considered a close-to-perfect standard by which to quickly convey election or poll results to TV audiences. However, this incident demonstrates that the system may be far from fucking perfect.

“David Brinkley actually said back in the 80s that we need to figure out what green means, but no one believed we’d have reason to know. Turns out Brinkley was right,” said Andresen.

Some Hitler Dialogue!

When Hitler Was a Young Adult

Friend: I understand you’re applying to art school! That’s great!

Hitler: Yeah, just, I really want to pursue this painting thing. I’m coming up with some great stuff whether it’s landscape, still life, you know, even some of the modernist/abstract stuff that’s happening. I’m particularly interested in experimenting more with uses of light. Evoking the warmth of sunlight through painting. I’m actually working on a satirical piece in which I show a ceiling in like a stifling business office and it’s got all these ugly industrial lamps, but, instead of the harsh cold light that they emit in reality, I paint the light coming out of them to be like sunlight and that kind of warmth, if you know what I mean. And I’d like to do a series of about 14 of those, each kind of depicting different configurations of those lamps and different offices and different levels of abstraction, you know? But just to show warmth leaking into even these harsh industrial or stuffy beaucratic or business offices. Like, how the sun pokes through even in the most isolating of circumstances. I don’t know, not to be schmaltzy, but I’m into that kind of symbol of hope and all that I guess. And I think this school I applied to has some great teachers and a wonderfully encouraging community of artists who can really help me shape these ideas, to visualize them.

F: That’s neat.

A month later:

F: Hey, I hear you didn’t get into that art school. I know you were really looking forward to going. I’m very sorry. I hope you’ll keep pursuing painting though. You will, won’t you?

H: No, I’m going to do something else.

Headlines – Suicide Bombers

Suicide Bombing Beats Out Dentistry as Occupation with Most Suicides per Capita

Lipton, NJ – The effects of this new golden age of terrorism are being felt everywhere. In a new survey published by Career Sciences this year, the rates of suicide per capita for 2007 are given for over 83 different common occupations. Over the previous 30 years that the survey has been published, the results have not varied greatly. But, this year, the perennial top-of-the-list, dentist, found itself second — and a far second at that — to suicide bomber.

“There are about 9 suicides for every 10 suicide bombers. It’s incredible. Comparatively, for the usual number one, dentistry, there’s about 1 suicide per 23,000 dentists,” said Dr. Meredith Hamm of the Career Sciences Center. “I just think the typical suicide bomber faces so much stress in performing the particularly harsh tasks they undertake and that must be what’s leading to this distressingly high figure. There definitely needs to be some system of counseling support or something in that relatively new career.”

Rounding off the top five most suicides-per-capita list were dentists, milkmen, suicide hotline operators, and some not very important job.

Detectives Frustrated by Walls that Can’t Talk

Chicago, IL - Detective Lawrence Broch thought he had what it took to break his case. Two months ago, the elderly Stella Weidenbacher was stabbed to death in her apartment and her jewelry was stolen. Despite his many detective tools including magnifying glass, Broch had no clues or suspects or the definite killer.

But, Tuesday night, while laying awake in bed, Broch had an idea.

“I always do my best thinking while lying awake in bed. I was racking my brains, thinking that someone or some…thing must have seen this evil deed. And, then, I realized: the walls of the room she was murdered in. I’ll just go talk to them!”

However, the next morning, things didn’t quite turn out as hoped: “When I got to the apartment, I asked the walls all these questions and, of course, all they could do is sort of hum and moan their answers because they don’t have mouths. If only those walls could talk or even simply write down what they saw.”
