“Polls suggest politics of envy won’t reelect Obama”

That’s not much of a surprise, really. More of a surprise is that it turns out what will reelect him is “the promise of free fish tacos and a year’s worth of HBO.”

Well, if you’re talking about my vote, at least.

— Which, hey, don’t judge, lest ye wish to be judged, is all’s I’m saying.

    Clearly what’s needed is race and gender war.

  2. JHoward says:

    So true, Ernst. Thus Eric Holder phoned to point out that justice itself says James OKeefe is a pasty white guy who fabricates evidence.

  3. Blake says:

    HBO doesn’t interest me. Offer me a couple of firearms and a couple of thousand rounds of ammunition and then we’ll talk.

  4. leigh says:

    I need a new car. Preferably of my choice.

  5. sunny-dee says:

    I just want TCM. That’s the only thing I miss about cable. (All right, and my guilty pleasure: Hallmark Channel.)

  6. Ernst Schreiber says:

    You can have any car you want leigh,

    so long as the car you want is small and electric.

    As a majority shareholder in Government Motors, surely you can lease one of their many, many surplus automobiles to yourself. Given that you’re sitting at both sides of the table, you should be able to come to satisfactory terms without too much trouble.

    The fundamental flaw of (the ever-expansive nature of) socialism is that inevitably they come with the collection tray, knocking on the door of everyone who signed up for it. (Exhibit A: Calieuropedetroit)

    I heard a radio news spot, in the car, in June 2009, shortly after Government Motors shut down a Delphi plant in Ohio. Radio Guy was interviewing union members coming off their last day. Sound-byte from one of them: “This wasn’t supposed to happen to us.”

    Oh, well, fish tacos, sure – but what the hell’s on HBO?

    S-D, bookmarking TCM’s web page and a Roku Box or wireless Blu-Ray player with a netflix account and you’re back in business. All you’d really miss would be the Robert Osborne intros.

    To hell with fish tacos. If I wanted to eat something taco shaped that smelled like fish I’d go get a job at NRO so I could finish this joke and promptly get fired.

    Offer me the right to shoot anybody that puts too much mayo on my sandwich though — or any on my burger — and I’m there.

  12. leigh says:

    McGehee wins the thread. I tip my hat to you, sir.

  13. LBascom says:

    All I want is my two front teeth*. I can be a crony.

    *Capped in gold, you see, to look like I could be the presidents son(favoring grandmas side), and get some of that sweet, sweet, stimulus money.

  14. RI Red says:

    McGehee wins the internets today.

  15. mt_molehill says:

    Got to agree with that.

  16. Swen says:

    Free fish tacos and a year’s worth of HBO? Jeez, we’ve come a long way since people expected O! to pay off their mortgage and put gas in their car. Is this more of that ‘bigotry of low expectations’ we’ve been warned about?
