"What Is This Like?" --- A Weekend Diversion
Posted by Gregory of Yardale at November 14, 2009 6:07 AM
Have you read where PBO is preparing --- once he signs his multi-trillion dollar bill health care --- to really buckle down and get serious about reducing the deficit?
ROFLMFAO.
It gets better. If you read the article, they aren't even talking about reducing the deficit in 2010 (which will be over a Trillion dollars) or 2011 (ditto) or even 2012 (ditto)... but just to come up with some scheme that says someday they'll get the deficit under control. Eventually. Maybe. Unless, of course, they really need to keep running massive deficits.
This gave me idea --- a diverting game of "What is this like?"--- i.e. "This is like a crackhead saying he just needs one more hit of crack to give him the strength to get off crack." Or, "This is like Kirstie Ally swearing she's gonna start that diet right after the holidays are over." But I'm sure you guys can come up with clever, scathing analogies, so let's have them. Post your analogy and if we get more than, say, 20 of 'em, we'll post the best ones in the Monday Morning Briefs.

What gave me a reverse nasal cleansing with my morning coffee was this:
President Barack Obama plans to announce in next year's State of the Union address...
Any president who announces in November what their late-January SOTYA will announce is either hubristically ambitious or pathetically insecure. Or both. Meld this with the laughable prospect of his cutting the deficit... does Our Dear Leader realize how thoroughly inane this sounds to anyone NOT susceptible to the Obot Mind Control Ray?
I surely hope not. :D

It's like an Islamic terrorist saying, "After the next market bombing, I swear I will live in peace."

This is like the V the K saying "After I give the next leftist Troll a verbal smackdown, I swear I will just ignore their stupid comments"

This is like Barack Obama saying "we can't wait" on sending more troops to Afghanistan during the campaign, and then keeping our troops in the field hanging in limbo for months.
This is like Barack Obama saying "no more earmarks" after signing a bill with the record number of earmarks in it.
This is like Barack Obama saying there will be no lobbyists in his administration and then appointing lobbyists.
This is like Barack Obama over and over again. When will the people realize that this man is LYING? That he has no intention of doing what he says, that this is only smokescreen to hide what he really intends to do?

This is like Barack Obama saying "Michelle, great outfit."

This is like Ghost of Wellstone saying, "We're not going to murder our unborn child, honey. The sanctity of life is paramount. I will be real man and raise this child to be a good, loving person."
This like Lao saying, "No, I will not be an attention whore any longer!"
This is like Aqua saying, "I will not be a Dhimmi weakling or put up with moral and societal decay in the name of 'progress'! God save the Queen!"

This is like HYG saying "I just need one more trolling and then I'll start forming coherent arguments. ¡Viva Ché!

Sorry about the double post.

Close, SK, but it's more like Ghost of Wellstone saying, "OK, I'll just knock up my sister one more time and abort the kid, then I'll become a mature, responsible male."
More Like Lao saying, "I'm just going to whine about people making fun of me one more time, and after that I promise not to be a little sissy girl any more."
More Like Aquadumbass saying, "I'm just going to drink the bongwater one more time, but if it doesn't get me high, I'm never trusting you people again."

This is like me saying "We'll sell these Kiss Tampons and then no more crappy merchandise with our logo on it"

It's like us saying, "One more bailout, and we promise to return to responsible management and profitability."

It's like us saying, "Fuck You! No Concessions."
Actually, it's not like that. That's just how we are.

It's like using a six year old condom from your wallet and expecting it will keep you safe.

This is like Charlie Brown saying to Lucy, "O.K. I'll trust you to hold the football this one last time."
