See, this do-gooder stuff is misrepresented – Obama was just trying out colors for the white house… a nice charcoal exterior might look nice…

I don’t even get any commenters to rag on. Inaugural sad. I has it.

Damn, he’s late. But then, what did we expect? He’s a lazy negro. THATS CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN!

So to avoid demetia one should be calm, positive and socially active. Oh god, we’re all screwed.

“If you are a nervous, negative Nellie, your brain will rot.”

Obama’s hope beams will SAVE LIVES, people!

WOW we saw him for like, 10 seconds. MY LIFE IS FULFILLED! KILL ME NOW SO I WILL END ON A HIGH!

This is hilarious:

“That Obama administration – I don’t like the way they been bailing out businesses and taking away my individual rights” – “I don’t like them big deficits Obama has been racking up”.

[re=222621]dutchie[/re]: There he is again! I need a close up of Michelle’s outfit. Right now.

I once owned a Fiat. Fiat isn’t saving anybody.

dutchie January 20, 2009 at 8:54 am

[re=222623]OffTheRecord[/re]: Not worth it. It’ll already be sold out. Michelle Obama will revive the economy on her own, with her fashion followers. We don’t need no stimulus!

I would love to see Mao’s cheerleaders from ‘The Last Emperor’ marching down Pennsylvania Ave.

Did FIAT not learn from Daimler-Benz?

Obama did his servicing across from my apartment building! Knew something awesome would happen if I moved next door to the halfway house!

I see there Cheney’s gonna pull a Dr Strangelove move today too.

We were out hiking yesterday, and I picked up a piece of trash. Service to nation: fulfilled.

I thought you always bought Fiats in pairs so you had a supply of spare parts. When does the Yugo/Ford dance begin?

marinmaven January 20, 2009 at 9:14 am

You are right, it is like Christmas. I got up extra early. Can I open my new president, now? Pleeeze!

Servo January 20, 2009 at 9:19 am

I planted a really aggressive poison ivy in a local Mormon cemetery. Just doin’ my part.

I Am Not Your Gary Busey January 20, 2009 at 9:21 am

No wonder Dr. Ron Paul didn’t like fiat money. It’s made in Italy.

Teh new waterboarding!

I am worried about the Inauguration Address.

Is “Unaccustomed as I am to public speaking . . . ” really the best way to begin it?

Also, the draft I’ve seen has too many rabbi-goes-in-to-a-bar type jokes. I mean they are terrific gags but not really suitable for such a serious occasion. Especially the dirtier ones.

el_chupacabra January 20, 2009 at 9:32 am

haha.. FOX just censored some MILF-y soccermom type when she tried to mention her blog. FOX is apparently the HBO of owning the news.

Fiat and Chrysler? That’s breeding Yugos and Trabants and hoping for a Honda.

Cape Clod January 20, 2009 at 10:06 am

[re=222624]WadISay[/re]: I did too. Those are two companies that deserve each other.

Miller January 20, 2009 at 10:24 am

What did I do? I got up, looked outside and thought “The poor can get stuffed until it gets warmer out.” Then I didn’t paint a wall that needed painting. Barry didn’t convince me.

There’s a reason my Christmas tree is still up.
