   Is that Al Gore narrating it?

   Iowahawk’s got up a good companion piece, Darleen. Seems Barky’s starring in a big screen version of “A Good Man Is Hard to Find.”

   Bullshitisol. That’s good.

   The problem with the Stimulus we’re being sold, though, is that it’s nothing but sugar pills with some blue dye. Not too likely to make our economy turgid again.

   I was promised the world with this stimulus, and all I am going to get is a hard on that hurts and won’t go down for three generations.

   What is it with those commercials having the couple sitting in a pair of old fashioned bathtubs? Why is that supposed to be romantic?

7. Comment by Seth Williams on 2/16 @ 9:58 am #

   Because the pill will make you hard as cast iron…? Something about wetness…?

   Yeah, I don’t get their metaphor either.

   One of the side affects can be severe diahrea. Maybe that’s why they’re in separate bath tubs.

   The old ways are best.

    ….still romantic though

    So, is Nishi upset with her lover, do you think? From the LA Times:

    Advocates of medical research using human embryonic stem cells are also watching Obama.

    When he was a candidate, Obama told the website sciencedebate2008.org that he would reverse Bush’s restrictions on federal funding for the research “through executive order.” Immediately following his campaign victory, transition director John Podesta told reporters that the stem cell order would be one of the first priorities.

    But Obama recently signaled in remarks to Democratic lawmakers that he intended to wait for action in Congress.

    Wary of a delay, one prominent advocacy group sent Obama a letter recently saying that he had pledged to revoke the Bush order. “We wanted him to know that we were still counting on the campaign commitment,” said Amy Comstock Rick, president of the Coalition for the Advancement of Medical Research.

    Heartache!

    Obama and Congress are on the left, we’re on the right. You know what happens next.

    “Present!!”

    Pelosi always looks like she’s on something. I’m betting it’s a Dole sugar high from mounds of Porkulus.

    Harry Reid, on the other hand, desperately needs to be on something. Regardless it’s doubtful he could sustain anything for four hours … which may be a good thing.

    I’;ll defer to al and happyfeet on these questions.

15. Comment by BJTexs on 2/16 @ 10:34 am #

    Oh and I also defer to Darleen as this being her thread requires submission through deferment … or something.

    #11 Carin:

    They are waiting on him to fulfill a campaign commitment?
    That’s funny!

    So far as I can tell, the only promise that Plastic Jesus has kept is to bomb the fuck out of Pockeeeeeeeeeestawwwwwwwwn.

18. Comment by geoffb on 2/16 @ 10:37 am #

    My thoughts on a commercial from dead end of a previous thread but fit better here.

    After sleeping on it I think the RNC or some conservative 527 group should do a series of TV commercials. Use the Citi Identity Theft ones as the template. The voice speaking would be Obama’s voice. Talking about all those wonderful things he bought in the Stimulus Bill. Then after a really egregious one he says something in this nature. “What, you think that’s too much? Not like I’m spending my own money anyways. (Laughter).

    Show people that their money is being spent on all this stuff they would never do themselves. Brand the Dem’s as the thieves they are.

19. Comment by Spies, Brigands, and Pirates on 2/16 @ 10:38 am #

    P.S to the trolls: please feel free to chime in and tell us of any other promise that he’s actually kept.

    Hey BJ, remember when, on Return to the Planet of the Apes the guy is going to worship the big missile so he peels his face off and under the fake face he’s all white and veiny and sickly looking? That’s Hairy Reed.

    If your recession last more than four years, seek Republican help immediately.

22. Comment by BJTexs on 2/16 @ 10:55 am #

    Perhaps, al, but I’m thinking more of a skull look for Harry. No white veiny skin is necessary.

23. Comment by N. O'Brain on 2/16 @ 10:56 am #

    Skeltor.

    I think you nailed it.

24. Comment by Obama on 2/16 @ 10:59 am #

    You do realize that my statement “I will give 95 percent of Americans a tax cut.” Has now been changed. The number 9 and the words percent, of and tax cut are now non-operative statements. This will now read “I will give 5 dollars to Americans.” See I didn’t lie.

    Well, only assuming that Skeletor goes full retard.

26. Comment by Techie on 2/16 @ 11:13 am #

    I thought we were supposed to report Stimulus lasting more than 4 hours to our doctor?

27. Comment by geoffb on 2/16 @ 11:17 am #

    I thought Allan Colmes was Skeletor?

28. Comment by BJTexs on 2/16 @ 11:29 am #

    Any minute now, Robert Byrd is going to be transformed into Skeletor. The full retard is already in place.

    Worst possible porn site: Pelosi/Reid action.

    That would knock Goatse and “Two Girls, One Cup” right off the charts.

    (don’t Google those. I’m warning you).

    Not all economists. Normative economists, sure. But not all economists.

    Remind me again, who would pitch and who would catch?

32. Comment by Spies, Brigands, and Pirates on 2/16 @ 12:40 pm #

    I’m thinking double-ended dildo, alp.

    Maybe made from a life-cast of Teleprompter Jesus.

33. Comment by Spies, Brigands, and Pirates on 2/16 @ 1:23 pm #

    I denounce myself for that. Sorry.

    I hate those twin bathtubs with the power of a thousand suns.

36. Comment by Lamontyoubigdummy on 2/16 @ 4:01 pm #

    But… none of this is not going to make my Enzyte prescription less effective, right?

    “Worst possible porn site: Pelosi/Reid action.”

    EEEwwwww!

    On the other hand…I’ve never seen a botoxed Granny root around on a dead guy.

    And I’ve been to Japan.

37. Comment by Swen Swenson on 2/16 @ 4:33 pm #

    I’m thinkin’ the twin tubs thing is the modern equivalent of the twin beds in ’50s TV shows. Can’t show ‘em in one tub until after 10pm? Whatever. Bathtub seks is highly overrated anyhoo.

    Want some fresh irony? Our Junior Jesus is coming to Denver tomorrow to sign the porkulus. You know, the bill that’s supposed to pump billions into infrastructure repairs? But today’s Denver Post tells us that the Colorado legislature is debating a bill to double vehicle registration fees to pay for roads & bridges.

    I’m thinkin’ you won’t need to worry about a stimulus lasting more than four hours. Looks like CDOT barely got a tingle up their leg.

    “I’m thinkin’ the twin tubs thing is the modern equivalent of the twin beds in ’50s TV shows.”

    How can Ward be “hard on the Beaver” through a cast iron bath tub?

    “Bathtub seks is highly overrated anyhoo.”

    Have YOU ever been to Japan?

    Just sayin’.

    “Our Junior Jesus is coming to Denver tomorrow to sign the porkulus.”

    Pretty leisurely reaction time to a dire emergency, eh?

40. Comment by geoffb on 2/16 @ 8:47 pm #

    Emergencies happen one his timetable. Thoroughly planned out crises. That makes them more useful.

41. Comment by geoffb on 2/16 @ 8:49 pm #

    one = on

    probably she would like to relax a bit beforehand, but doesn’t want the “jacuzzi”.
