Please. Pray for Bo. [Dan Collins]

Via Jonah Goldberg:


I took my own shot at it, here, but no responses. So, if you don’t think that’s funny, please write and tell me why.

Here are some related animals that are worth trying.  You, you . . . cute-ists.

Not very related: Zombuddha.

    Dan! good to see you under the big pw banner!

  2. vermontaigne says:

    Nice to be here, thanks!

  3. Abe Froman says:

    It’s such an incredibly easy thing to make jokes about that the bar has to be a lot higher than that.

  4. vermontaigne says:

    Okay, Abe. How about Yoda singing “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face”? Would that be good?

  5. vermontaigne says:

    McGehee recommends I try my hand at “Me and Mo and a Dog Named Bo.” Travellin’ and livin’ off The Man. Robbin’ from an old pensioner . . . I’ll think about what rhymes with pensioner.

  6. motionview says:

    The worst part of this whole fiasco from a Prog perspective is that it is so totally unneccessary. Obama probably never actually ate dog; it is the deep-seated need for the white man to believe that WOGS EAT DOGS that led comrade Ayers astray.

  7. DarthLevin says:

    Don’t you mean, “Your Face The First Time Ever I Saw”, Dan?

    Regarding the species preservation, I annoy my wife every time we’re watching nature shows with the kids. Inevitably, they have the scene where the cute widdle zebra escapes the clutches of the mean nasty lion or whatnot. Morgan Freeman sonorously intones how the zebra will go on to live another day. I add, “but the mother lion wasn’t able to feed her babies, who went hungry that night. And died in misery from starvation.”

    Circle of life, dudes. Circle of life.

  8. Car in says:

    Wow, Dan. back at PW.

  9. George Orwell says:

    There is a reason they chose a male dog. Michelle is concerned about the risks of obesity, if Barack spent his days snacking on puppies.

  10. sdferr says:

    So Barry has the ready-to-hand makings of a “Don’t Litter!” campaign.

  11. George Orwell says:

    for years, man’s best friend

    you nourish my soul, except

    this snack must be shaved

  12. Abe Froman says:

    That’s the hard thing, Dan. It would change things with a silly song, but then you lose the somberness and, conceptually, it’s a play on a heart-grabbing emotional plea. Maybe something like this song?

  13. Abe Froman says:

    But the above wouldn’t work with the video as is, obviously.

  14. bh says:

    Welcome back, Dan.

  15. vermontaigne says:

    Hmmm. That song needs more Morrissey. The singer. Not the blogger.

  16. leigh says:

    Well, I like it. I put it on my facebook page. Soon, you guys and girls will be my only friends.

  17. George Orwell says:

    That song needs more Morrissey. The singer. Not the blogger.

    Because if it’s not Love
    Then it’s the Bo, the Bo, the Bo, the Bo, the Bo, the Bo, the Bo
    That will bring us together

  18. B Moe says:

    Canadian ecology experts say such thinking means we’re in danger of re-shaping nature to beautify it according to human notions of what’s pretty, saving the mammals but letting the reptiles and amphibians disappear.

    Darwinists say evolution’s a bitch.

  19. George Orwell says:

    Why do I do this to myself? Listening to Ed Morrissey on his ustream “show.”

    Drooling over how nice a guy Obama is, how good a mother Michelle Obama is, how bad his former boss Michelle Malkin is for disagreeing with Romney that Obama is a “nice guy” whom we just can’t afford. Falling all over themselves talking about how great it would be talking to Obama about ordinary things, just sittin’ in a park.

    War is peace.

  20. George Orwell says:

    It’s all “shut up, all you grievance conservatives for saying bad things about Barry. You’ll scare away the right sort of voters.” Shut up, you see. And Ed just added that by implication you “grievance conservatives” do not use logic but anger, so you convince no one.

    Nothing like argument by epithet.

  21. paulzummo says:

    Thought I was seeing things when I read that author title in my blog reader. It’s awesome to see you back here, Dan.

  22. dicentra says:

    Who the hell is vermontaigne and why should we care?

  23. geoffb says:

    I agree with motionview @ 12:29 but go much farther.

    The “Obama” who was elected was, as Jeff G. has pointed out, a construct which was built by Ayers in the “autobiography”. When questions arose about the authorship those who questioned were viciously attacked because that scripted construct is what was elected and must always be seen as congruent with the real man Barack.

    Now it seems that construct is not as well built as was assumed. But to deny it and say that the “Obama” of the book was just a fictional device will destroy both it and the real one too. So they must press on and save the constructed fictional person from himself somehow.

    In that one short passage the unreality of the progressive multi-culti narrative is revealed. In addition to pissing off dog lovers they have insulted all Asians and insulted Muslims with the multi-culti progressive sorta-Muslim Lolo.

    The constructed, perfect, Biden approved, clean, articulate candidate has morphed into a “tar baby” after they clutched it willingly to their bosom, the banana in the monkey trap that they will not let go of, the tail of a tiger who wishes them to be his dinner not the other way around that was written.

    It’s a delicious situation from my point of view. They richly deserve every bite they have to eat of it.

    Ed has obviously never had the pleasure of befriending a narcissist. Sure, they’re nice to you at first, and as long as they find you useful, they’ll continue to be nice.

    It’s when you “disappoint” them that you find what they’re really made of.

  25. sdferr says:

    “t’s a delicious situation from my point of view. They richly deserve every bite they have to eat of it.”

    Heh.

    Meataphor alert! What’s delicious about eating shit?

  26. ThomasD says:

    Morrissey didn’t used to be that way.

    Funny how one’s attitude adjusts to comport with a steady revenue stream.

  27. ThomasD says:

    I wonder how many of these types are just dying for the day when their crew gets into power thinking that that will be the moment when they get to take their work ‘into the mainstream!’

    Never having enough self awareness to note that the only reason they might have such a chance is due to the advanced plasticity of their principles, ever bending towards that which they seek most.

  28. ThomasD says:

    Oh, hi Dan!

    Nice to see you here.

  29. Mike LaRoche says:

    Welcome back, Dan!

  30. Jeff G. says:

    Like I said, I’ve disagreed with Ed Morrissey plenty. But he didn’t prove himself to be a phony, at least, not to me.

  31. cranky-d says:

    Gosh, that sounds familiar. That’s exactly when I realized my “friend” was not my friend at all.

  32. Pellegri says:

    Charismatic megafauna can die in a frying pan for all I care. Pandas are trying to kill themselves off and get millions of dollars of funding to do it while other potentially useful (and definitely ecologically needed) species get jack.

  33. Squid says:

    Yeah, pandas are totally the tittie cancer of the endangered species industry.

  34. happyfeet says:

    bienvenidos señor collins!

    my favorite animals are include the hyrax which was in the news this week and also I enjoy the red wolf cause of how they never take a bad picture and also dachshunds are very encouraging on a discouraging day like today was, or they would be, if there were any about

  35. newrouter says:

    and also dachshunds

    baracky wants to wok that dog

  36. RI Red says:

    Dan, read you and Jeff before commenting. Good stuff.

  37. Darleen says:

    Dan!!! Good to see you! :-)
