Looks more like a squirrel to me.

The first time I saw "Dramatic Chipmunk" I laughed so long and hard that I hurt myself and suffer post-traumatic stress.

Say hello to my little friend.

AAWW! I heart our hamsters!

Make it through the next 48 hours, furry friends, and you will have lots of treats!

Wow, that was dramatic.

Hhmm weird enough, living through President Carter, plus amazed that anyone voted for President Clinton once, yet twice...

(well, I just posted this in the last thread, and, bingo, the hamsters gear up and poof, another thread)

Almost ALL of the campaign art has had graphic overtones of "revolutionary art," reminiscent of posters and campiagn material from the Soviet Union, Nazi Germany and South America.

This is far from an accident.

And most of the actual depictions of Obama himself have a "heavenly" posture about him, looking up, staring out at the "future," sometimes even suggesting some sort of umbra or mystical glow.

Combine all these obvious clues along with a lot of his campiagn rhetoric, repeating over and over that he can "change the world," and folks, we have a real cult of personality growing right here in the good old U.S of A.

Hiel Obama.

I believe this dramatic creature turned out to be a prairie dog, no?

Ugh. Obama signs on cars everywhere here in Portland, Maine. I even saw one today that a child drew and the mommy had it taped up in the window of her Subaru Outback. But worse still, yesterday I saw a Prius with a Green Party bumper sticker and an additional Cynthia McKinney sticker!

Actually, it's a groundhog. But on YouTube they call it a chipmunk.

If these guys can find mirth in the midst of mayhem, so can we.

The dramatic chipmunk is really a prairie dog.

re: #14 arethusa

Pretty good when he's not dizzy from the wheel.

Ah, the Prius -- the car that's replaced the Volvo station wagon as the #1 ride for overeducated, wimpy White liberal Boomers!

Prairie dog. My bad...

I just have this weird feeling that Obama isn't telling us the truth.

And then there's the dramatic lemur, who kinda freaks me out a little.

Ward Churchill dedicated his book Pacifism as Pathology to Bill Ayer's WU girlfriend, Diane Oughton. The theme of the book is something like pacifism is a temporary ruse until the real action begins. I guess for Diane who blew herself up in a workplace accident the action came and went pretty fast but this seems to me weird enough for this thread.

What kind of horrible concatenating chain of commies have been nesting in this country like vipers waiting to grow strong enough to attack us? Here's where I downloaded the important pages of the Churchill book [Link: rapidshare.com...]

Because I’m capping greenhouse gases, coal power plants, you know, natural gas, you name it — whatever the plants were, whatever the industry was, uh, they would have to retrofit their operations. That will cost money. They will pass that money on to consumers."

Question for anyone stupid enough to believe that Obama will support "clean coal"...if Obama included natural gas in the industries he is willing to tax into the depths of hades,what chance do you think coal technology of ANY kind has in an Obama administration?

I wanted to write just to say "goodbye"; I used to find your site quite
informative and very amusing...when you actually took the time to
participate in the discussion, that is.

Lately, LGF has been little more than a link-o-rama and your diatribes
on religion and evolution have made me wonder just what site I visited
in the first place.

So, for the time being, I am replacing LGF on my "favorites" toolbar in
Firefox - I may still check in from time to time to see if anything has
changed and if you're back on track - but I won't be by nearly as
often.

I hope you find your way back to what made LGF a wonderful,
informative, at times entertaining, and helpful site.

re: #50 mikalm

I actually drove my moonbat father-in-law's Prius while visiting him last Spring. Like driving a pregnant rollerskate controlled by a Mac OS.

re: #65 buzzsawmonkey

That's a good angle. But, as I mentioned I was too drunk to do anything but laugh. I'll have to remember that though. ;)

OT:
I got a kick out of what my brother-in-law did to an Obama phone-caller...

So, this is what happens in the election season. I get 50,000,000 campaign calls and I answer hardly any of them. However, when I feel adventurous, I pick up the phone and if it's not automated, I'll talk to the people... Sometimes I have a little fun...

A lady from the Wisconsin Democratic Party called me a few days ago... We'll call her "Obama Lady".
This is how it all went down:

Obama Lady: "Mr. ---, this election is one of the most important elections of your life. John McCain wants to take away Women's rights altogether. He wants women to be at a lower pay scale, single women at a higher tax bracket and more importantly...John McCain wants to take away a women's right to choose. He tries to defend his radical policies with false attacks on Barrack Obama... This is not fair! And I am supporting Barrack Obama for President because I am tired of the smear ads, we can't afford more of the same. Mr. ---... Does Senator Obama have your support?

Me: "Of course he has my support! I couldn't possibly want more of the same! But I have a question... I'm a musician who doesn't really want to work, under Obama's plan, I won't have to work, right? I'll be able to live off of other people's wealth and income?

Obama Lady: "Well, yes, but that's not the intent of Obama's plan."

Me: "Well, but the answer IS yes, correct?"

Obama Lady: "Yes, that is correct, but Obama's plan is to help those who are less fortunate."

"Yeah, that's good for them but what about me? I don't make very much money. I'm capable of working more at a higher paying job, I just don't want to. So, I'm less fortunate because I won't have much money, right? So, then I can live off of other people's money too, right?

Obama Lady: "Well, yes... Technically you could..."

Me: "Cool! One more question... What happens when everyone else gets the same notion and stops working?

Obama Lady: "Why would they do that?

Me: Because maybe they don't want to work harder to make less money and support people like me? Where is their incentive to keep working?

Obama Lady: "Well, not everyone would quit working...

Me: "Are you sure? Would you work if you didn't have to?

Obama Lady: "Uh...You have a good day, Mr. ---..."

Go Senator McCain!

There has been a lot of speculation about Diane Oughton. I met a relative of hers a few years after the "accident." His opinion was that she couldn't go through with the dance bombing and thus touched the bomb off on herself and her accomplices on purpose.
There have been others who have posited the same thing, including a those who say she was unhappy with the way Ayers treated her and blew herself and the Plan sky high to spite him.

Youth vs. Experience

Can you image Obama in Kennedy's shoes?

"Kennedy had a simple agenda. He wanted to meet Khrushchev, size him up, talk to him politician-to-politician about the dangers of military miscalculation in a nuclear world."

"Kennedy had no double they would understand each other."

"Kennedy's briefing papers concluded that while Khrushchev might use bluster and threat on occasion, the Russian was also looking for a relaxation of tensions."

"He had done his homework on Khrushchev's personality, even if much of what he had heard seemed unreal"

"Kennedy's focus was on Khrushchev the man, a wild sort who had shocked the world only a year earlier by taking off his shoe and banging it on the desk in front of him during debate in the UN General Assembly."

"He had been in office only three weeks when the first feelers came from Khrushchev for an early meeting. He jumped at the chance, writing to the Soviet leader on February 22 to suggest a meeting"

"The leader of the Soviet Union, sixty-seven years old and fat as a sausage, came up to the nose of the trim President of the United States"

"Inside, the two leaders faced each other across a large coffee table in the music room, a homey sitting room, fifteen by twenty feet"

"The first thing the Soviet chairman noticed was that Kennedy rarely looked at his aids, much less talked to them. He was different from Eisenhower, who rarely spoke without turning to his team, especially his Secretary of State, John Foster Dulles"

"Kennedy said what he had come to say"

"Krushchev's response, as reported by American note takers, was harsh and angry: "The West and the United States as its leader must recognize one fact: Communism exists and has won its right to develop ... Mr Dulles based his policy on the premise of liquidation of the Communist system""[1]

Can you image Obama in Kennedy's shoes?

Obama can certainly try to gallivant headlong towards "chatting" with our enemies, unprepared like Kennedy (resulting in devastating escalation and consequences), but what exactly would Obama say to Khrushchev? They already seem to be somewhat on the same page!

For his part, at least Kennedy put great effort into not showing weakness, unlike The One.

There has been a lot of speculation about Diane Oughton. I met a relative of hers a few years after the "accident." His opinion was that she couldn't go through with the dance bombing and thus touched the bomb off on herself and her accomplices on purpose.
There have been others who have posited the same thing, including a those who say she was unhappy with the way Ayers treated her and blew herself and the Plan sky high to spite him.
Who knows?!

Hell, if she had been related to me, I would have said the same, to clean off some of that stench wafting my way.

Bass Ackward Headline of the Day courtesy of the AP:

AP IMPACT: flood of wounded GIs swamps care units

Let's further recall that the past two months have seen huge declines in casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan combined, and the lede of the very article they're talking about suggests that the military had a surplus of specialized medical care facilities after earlier problems:

In a rush to correct reports of substandard care for wounded soldiers, the Army flung open the doors of new specialized treatment centers so wide that up to half the soldiers currently enrolled do not have injuries serious enough to justify being there, The Associated Press has learned.

Army leaders are putting in place stricter screening procedures to stem the flood of patients overwhelming the units — a move that eventually will target some for closure.

According to interviews and data provided to the AP, the number of patients admitted to the 36 Warrior Transition Units and nine other community-based units jumped from about 5,000 in June 2007, when they began, to a peak of nearly 12,500 in June 2008.

So, what happened wasn't that these units were overwhelmed by critical care for which they were intended, but half the soldiers enrolled don't have injuries serious enough to justify being there.

The AP is trying to find bad news where none actually exists. The military is providing even better care than just a few years ago, and more soldiers are receiving advanced care. Yet, the AP wants this to be considered a bad thing? / [deleted]

Most of the loonies that move out of Boston go to NH, which is why that old red state has become hard to call lately.

That's very true. NH has nearly been ruined by them. Maine is being ruined by a lot of Vermonters and New Yorkers. At least that's what I've seen. Of course, I run in a very liberal crowd, being a freelance graphic designer. If they only knew of my leanings I probably would be ostracized.

re: #166 Penguinchic

In Russian Lit during the communist rule, many times the hero will be portrayed in ways so that they appear to be "heavenly". Granted you may have to dig for the comparison, but it is there.

I don't think you have to dig for the comparison, it's pretty much in the open.

I am far from an expert in any kind of art, revolutionary or otherwise, but I did spend some time in Poland researching some stuff for something, and I started to pay attention to Nazi and Soviet propoganda art.

And one think I know, if I see a duck in Poland, and I see a duck here in the US, I can reconize that it's the same, it's a duck.

Same thing with the art, ya know.

We were up 27-19 with 3 minutes to play, and Tampa Bay had to get a touchdown and a two-point-conversion just to TIE .. and they did it, then won on a field goal in overtime.
