“Bin Laden is dead and GM is alive on life support” [Darleen Click]
Oh, SNAP President Obama is proud of his bailout of General Motors. That’s good, because, if he wins a second term, he is probably going to have to bail GM out again.

It’s true. There are logs and chats and email trails proving it. Fear me. I’m a soul eater. Best to keep your distance. Else you might get some of my evil crazy on you. … … … BOO!

“‘Journalists For Obama’ T-Shirts Handed Out At Democrat Convention”
Playing to the hipster irony, ironically. I don’t think people realize just how many layers of meta– are actually going on here. And unfortunately, I don’t do charts or Venn diagrams.
