ELITISM

Something made me think of this old comic. . .

(The whole thing is here.)

Twice the length, half the posts. . . does your mind hurt?

ISLAMOFASCISM AWARENESS WEEK: ISLAMOBACK BETTER THAN EVER

Per TPM, we read that it’s ISLAMOFASCISM AWARENESS WEEK again. Has it already been a year?

“Time flies when you’re having fun battling Islamofascism.”

Actually, it hasn’t been a full year. This is one of those special weeks that can pop up at any time.

Some of you may remember that I gave a lecture on Islamofascism to raise awareness during October’s Islamofascism Awareness Week. (I was kind of acting as a free agent. . . I didn’t have time to get
permission from David Horowitz.)

I realize we need to spread the word about Islamofascists. . . a lot of people don’t even know about 9/11. . . so I am posting some of the slides from my lecture. Spread the word: use them in your classroom, at your church, on the street corner. . . anywhere you might find someone who doesn’t know about terrorists.

“The only Islamofascism Awareness Week PowerPoint presentation that mentions 9/11 on every slide. . . GUARANTEED.”

You’ll notice that I typed “Islamofascism” in Comic Sans, the world’s crappiest font. I did this to humiliate the Islamofascists.

MARK PENN’S PENNSYLVANIA MANIA!

Hillary up by 18 in PA?!? Let’s all freak out about this poll for two weeks straight!

Never give up, Hillary! You’re just like Rocky, the amazing boxer from Philadelphia(?)

Or are the voters of Pennsylvania the real Rockys here?

WHO GETS TO BE ROCKY? WHO WHO WHO?

Seriously, reading the Survey USA poll made me long to revisit this classic example of “Speaking truth to power.” This is the speech Obama should give in Pennsylvania.

DISAPPOINTING

I was a big fan of Stephen Curry. . . until I took a close look at his game.

Check out this photo:

Put aside the flash, the charisma. There are certain basketball fundamentals that every player must master to be taken seriously. And Curry obviously hasn’t mastered one of them:

He’s dribbling the ball upside-down.

He is disrespecting the swoosh.

What can I say? I’m disappointed.

LIEBERMAN

Listened to Joe Lieberman grill General Patraeus. . . asked some good questions. . . what a comfort to have Lieberman looking out for us. . . protecting our freedoms. . . the night watchman. . . never realized how
much I missed listening to his smooth voice. . . sounding younger than ever. . . a man in the prime of his youth. . . yet wise beyond his years. . . I wonder what he’ll whisper in McCain’s ear today?

CURRY-KOS CONUNDRUM

My friend and I were watching the Davidson-Wisconsin game when we realized superstar shooting guard Stephen Curry looks a bit like famous blogger Markos Moulitsas. (At least, relative to every other player on the court.*)

Then we started pretending Curry was DailyKos:

“As soon as I hit this pump-fake, I gotta do some diary rescues. . .”

“I’ll calculate the super-delegate count right after this reverse lay-up. . .”

Anyway, just a silly little game I thought I’d share with you!

(*This makes it sound like whenever we watch a basketball game, we determine which player looks the most like DailyKos. We don’t.)

REQUEST

OK, I need to go to bed and/or do my taxes, but before I do, MAY I PLEASE ASK A HUGE FAVOR OF YOU?

(You, the person who knows how to do computer stuff.)

Will you PLEASE take the music in the youtube video below and paste it over the video for the 2008 “One Shining Moment” video? Please. If you know anyone who has the technical know-how to pull that off, please ask them to do it.

I really wish I knew how to make permalinks, because then we could forward this post all over the internet until a computer genius read it and fulfilled my special “One Shining Moment” dreams. . .
