"Unfortunately, I inherited this antiquated infrastructure from the previous administration, and while I was taking my midday Portie square break, the cherry fell.  It landed on my prayer rug and caused an old afro sheen stain from my days at the training camp in Indonesia to set off a grave chain of events.  Oh, and my birth certificate and 38 of my SS cards were lost as well"

Help me see how that was funny? It looked like random race stuff that went no where.

I don't like Obama but I junked your comment. The race references did not add to it. If your gonna do the dozens, make it funny.

Gotta leave your white guilt at the door of the comedy room.  If you're white, be proud of it.  If you're black, be proud of it.  If you're Obummer, be confused.

And I guess if your a moron be proud of that too... Right? If you want to hate the President I fully endorse it. God knows I do. But why not try adding something to the conversation that extends beyond stupid fucking jokes revolving around race and religion.

Rascism can be very funny. Not a reason to hate or kill someone but funny shit. Ask Dave Chappelle: "I still think people do have racial hang-ups, but I think one of the reasons I can joke about it is people are shredding those racial hatreds."

Seemed to me like they were references to his covered up past and general illegitimacy as a president. Its not racist to point out that the man we know as Barrak Hussein Obama was once know as Barry Soetoro and lived in Indonesia.  Yes, he used to have a prayer rug too. Why did he turn it in for a bible? Because he's a fraud.

You need to reject the politically correct censorship of the mainstream media and embrace these harsh realities.

He used to be a different person in every way. Did Jeremiah Wright really convince him that Jesus is the true savior and to put down his Koran? Or is Obama just a puppet that can be recast into whatever is politically expedient?

The fact that the president is a puppet who is being used to defraud and loot the nation is quite relevant.

It oughta go up higher, but I doubt it's all Obama fans.  It's surprising how many people have been successfully programmed to believe that anything racial is automatically bad.  Luckily it's just a "Junk" button and not a "Force Reparations Payment" button.

I'm picking out a thermos for you.

Not an ordinary thermos for you.

But the extra best thermos that you can buy,

With vinyl and stripes and a cup built right in!

I'm picking out a thermos for you,

And maybe a barometer too,

And what else can I buy so on me you'll rely,

A rear end thermometer too.

No joke, man. I'm concerned with more false flag-type operations to distract the masses from the ugly truths of finance and this disastrous economy. There are unfortunately enough idiots who believe that what we need now is a good world war to "stimulate" thinks sufficiently.

That gives me an idea.  Our spooks have to have a crew that has some Photoshop skills.  They should make up some pictures of Khamenei and Ahmadinejad blowing each other and whatnot, then spread them around the country.  They'd have to get honor killed.

I give you Scotlands greatest poet, William Topaz McGonagall.

The Tay Bridge Disaster

Beautiful Railway Bridge of the Silv'ry Tay!
Alas! I am very sorry to say
That ninety lives have been taken away
On the last Sabbath day of 1879,
Which will be remember'd for a very long time.

'Twas about seven o'clock at night,
And the wind it blew with all its might,
And the rain came pouring down,
And the dark clouds seem'd to frown,
And the Demon of the air seem'd to say-
"I'll blow down the Bridge of Tay."

When the train left Edinburgh
The passengers' hearts were light and felt no sorrow,
But Boreas blew a terrific gale,
Which made their hearts for to quail,
And many of the passengers with fear did say-
"I hope God will send us safe across the Bridge of Tay."

But when the train came near to Wormit Bay,
Boreas he did loud and angry bray,
And shook the central girders of the Bridge of Tay
On the last Sabbath day of 1879,
Which will be remember'd for a very long time.

So the train sped on with all its might,
And Bonnie Dundee soon hove in sight,
And the passengers' hearts felt light,
Thinking they would enjoy themselves on the New Year,
With their friends at home they lov'd most dear,
And wish them all a happy New Year.

So the train mov'd slowly along the Bridge of Tay,
Until it was about midway,
Then the central girders with a crash gave way,
And down went the train and passengers into the Tay!
The Storm Fiend did loudly bray,
Because ninety lives had been taken away,
On the last Sabbath day of 1879,
Which will be remember'd for a very long time.

As soon as the catastrophe came to be known
The alarm from mouth to mouth was blown,
And the cry rang out all o'er the town,
Good Heavens! the Tay Bridge is blown down,
And a passenger train from Edinburgh,
Which fill'd all the peoples hearts with sorrow,
And made them for to turn pale,
Because none of the passengers were sav'd to tell the tale
How the disaster happen'd on the last Sabbath day of 1879,
Which will be remember'd for a very long time.

It must have been an awful sight,
To witness in the dusky moonlight,
While the Storm Fiend did laugh, and angry did bray,
Along the Railway Bridge of the Silv'ry Tay,
Oh! ill-fated Bridge of the Silv'ry Tay,
I must now conclude my lay
By telling the world fearlessly without the least dismay,
That your central girders would not have given way,
At least many sensible men do say,
Had they been supported on each side with buttresses,
At least many sensible men confesses,
For the stronger we our houses do build,
The less chance we have of being killed.

A word from Scotland's other greatest poet, Ewan McTeagle:

Can I have fifty pounds to mend the shed?
I'm right on my uppers.
I can pay you back
When this postal order comes from Australia.
Honestly.
Hope the bladder trouble's getting better.
Love, Ewan.

I think we need to hold Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for setting the fire, then tell the Iranians we will negoiate his release for all American's held, $500M, and ending their uranium enrichment program.  I am sure they will laugh and tell us to keep him.  Think we could get payment in gum?
