Aaron in the graphics department: We'll need an appropriate logo. Classy, but vicious.

UPDATE II: Of course, the Economic Destruction Act of 2009 was passed on . . . FRIDAY THE 13TH!
UPDATE III: Protectionist "Buy American" provision inspires Smoot-Hawley comparisons.
UPDATE IV: The disastrous effects are already being felt by . . . law professors? If you see Glenn Reynolds standing beside a freeway ramp with a crudely-lettered "Will Blog For Food" sign, blame Arlen Specter.
UPDATE V: Dr. Melissa Clouthier on "phallic issues." Everything is always "phallic issues" with her.
UPDATE VI: At the Facebook group (we've already got 272 members), one member wrote on the Wall that his father -- a Navy veteran whose ship was sunk at Pearl Harbor -- says what Congress just did was worse than the Japanese attack!

@Aaron:
ReplyDeleteThe original pic was a lamprey .jpg from Wikipedia.
Something about that organism just says "Congress" to me.
But whatever your muse whispers has my vote in advance.
I'm in!
ReplyDeleteThen again, I voted for Bob Barr, too...
If there is justice, they will live in Ignominy and Disgrace.
ReplyDeleteI AGREE 1000%.
ReplyDeleteIN FACT THIS IS WHAT I POSTED AT MY BLOG AT 8PM LAST NIGHT:
"THEY HAVE OVERSTEPPED THEIR TRUE MANDATE. AND THE BACKLASH WILL BE HUGE.
* THE JAPANESE DISCOVERED THAT DECEMBER 7TH WOKE UP AMERICA...
* THE JIHADISTS DISCOVERED THAT 9/11 WOKE UP AMERICA (THOUGH HALF HAVE GONE BACK TO SLEEP)...
* AND THE SOCIALIST APPEASERS WILL DISCOVER THAT THIS PORKUPENDOUS SPENDING BILL WILL DO THE SAME."
GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE!

ReplyDeleteCan "Aaron in the graphics department" create a You Tube ad ?
ReplyDeleteMedieval theme. Taxpayers are depicted as lowly serfs performing back breaking work. The tax collector is close by, making sure he gets his cut.
Now switch to the lords and nobles in the manor (Congress) lolling around an over-laden banquet table. One young lord says they need more money to keep their retainers (public servants and unions) faithful. Another complains about the cost of restoring his summer castle. A particularly vile noble---grease and bits of meat in his beard---says with his mouth full of food..."We'll raise taxes on the wretched masses! Where else are they going to GO?! Har Har Har".
Like the Harry and Louise ads, the theme could be continued for health care and other public policy issues. Can Aaron do this?

ReplyDeleteRE: Heh
It wasn't Friday the 13th for no reason.
And not ONE of the bozos who voted for it read it. So I have to wonder just what all sort of 'easter eggs' are hidden in it.

P.S. Especially THIS Congress of people suffering from ODS.
P.P.S. I think that anyone who passes a law without reading what is in it is a threat to the United States.
When will the ideological superstitions melt away from the glacier like evolution of your thoughts and ideas.
ReplyDeleteThis problem was caused by the free market morons of the last four administrations as a result of the demotion of everyone that isn't rich into someone that doesn't matter, a Calvinist revival of sorts.
Obama is going to have to fight every step of the way to get us back on track through the simple minded rantings of no more welfare except for that going to the least needy.
All great men are evil, of that there is no doubt, but for those of us that aren't great is left the task of reigning in these power hungry and self aggrandizing men before they do real damage. We have clearly been falling down on the job, blinded by hero worship and the love of money.
It makes you wonder about the viability of our democracy. Who can afford to run against these people, infamous or not. When over (or close) to 50% of voters pay no income tax what's it to them if the rest get taxed to oblivion. It will take an event of unimagined magnitude to even get the attention this deserves.

Joe's another example of the ODS.

Prove it sparky. Links and more links.

ReplyDeleteJoe--We have been spending money like water (unusual for conservatives), topped by a stimulus payment, the bailouts and has it done any good? No.
ReplyDeleteWhy would another pork bill work just because Mr. "let me make this perfectly clear" an empty suit if there ever was one is Prez?
WPA and FDR were failures if WWII hadn't come along. All we have to fear is BHO himself. How do we get a recall started in Maine? Thor Why this won't post is a mystery. 3 times now.
