Quote of the Day – Politics and Media Edition

the Obama administration could find itself in the uncomfortable position of reconsidering its vows

I bet that’s been programmed in as a keyboard shortcut by the tech support departments of the media companies of the world by now. Ctrl-Alt-O.

That’s from the comments to Tom Maguire’s JustOneMinute post One Of Obama’s Great Achievements May Be Unraveling.

The snark is strong in this one.

Quote of the Day – PSH Edition

This one is by email suggestion. Reader “Cormac” sent the link. Jennifer of In Jennifer’s Head brings the snark on the day that concealed-carry in national parks becomes legal. I hope she’ll forgive me, but her post is not excerptable, it’s of a piece and 100% USDA Prime snark, done rare just like I like it:

Today is the day that all law-abiding gun owners will collectively lose their minds and begin shooting the moment they cross the invisible barrier between national parks and everywhere else. As someone who has passed the sheriff’s background check, the OSBI’s (Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation) background check, the FBI’s background check, I intend to avoid any national parks so as to avoid the creeping insanity. I would hate for today to be the day that I break my non-murdering streak.

Thank goodness the law requires me to remove my firearm before entering a school! Just think about the carnage that’s been prevented by limiting the freedoms of all those dastardly permit holders.

Bravo, Jennifer, bravo!

Quote of the Day – “Green Police” Edition

This is in relation to the previous post on this topic, Audi’s Super Bowl “Green Police” ad. Reader Perlhaqr in the comments:

Now I have “the Green Police… are buried under my shed…” running through my head.

First runner-up comes from SayUncle’s post yesterday, Ad Fail:

The ad says that, by virtue of buying this car, you will be a compliant citizen. In essence, you’ll be a better sheep. Fuck that.

The commercial should have ended with a guy in a big ass Ford Earthfuckertm that gets 5 miles per gallon with seats made from baby seals blowing past the roadblock billowing smoke. And, for effect, the driver flips them off. I’d buy that car.

Let’s see, the Escape, Explorer, Expedition, Excursion, Exclusion, and Earthfucker. Helluva lineup!
