Obama has Video Game? I Puke in My Mouth and Die Inside

I’m back after a long hiatus.  I tried to avoid the “blogosphere” during the election, mostly because I was tired of idiots spouting garbage about this being the most important election ever or how I had to vote or how McCain is old or socialist candidates are good.  The list goes on.  At any rate, when you’re done touting how great it is that democracy is working again in America (we are a republic, not a democracy) or that the world might start liking us again (it won’t – countries don’t hate presidents, they hate Americans because, for the most part, they think we are uneducated buffoons and based on the last election, it seems, for the most part, that they are still right) head on over to superobamaworld.com and get your socialist game on.  It seems some asshats have gone ahead and made Obama into a video game.  And to make it worse, they ripped off Super Mario World to do so (I have no idea how to embed such things here, so hit the link if you want to run around and collect American flags and stomp on pigs in what might be the single worst game ever made – but hey, if you like Obama, you’ll pretty much take anything, huh?).  This makes me sad.  More sad than when the clown actually paid to ruin video games by campaigning in them.  I could handle my money being stolen and given to people who don’t work.  I’m resigned to the advent of socialized healthcare.  Hell, I might even be able to survive raising capital gains taxes to 25%.  But taking over video games?  Bastardizing one of the greatest, most entertaining gaming franchises of all time?  Ripping away a precious part of my childhood for the sake of bludgeoning me over the head just a one more time with Obamania?  Too far, I say.  Too far.  It’s time we, as a people, rise up and make a stand.  To the polls!

Update:  So presidential elections are once every four years, apparently.  When did that happen?  Quick, science, make me a flux capacitor!  I need to go back to November 3.

Update: Success!

Update: Couldn’t turn the election, but Time Lincoln promised me vengeance.

Alaskan Senator Ted Stevens (Rep) has been indicted for lying about accepting gifts (read: bribes) from an oil company.  He is accused of receiving more than a quarter of a million dollars in kickbacks including “a new first floor, garage, wraparound deck, plumbing and electrical wiring. He also is accused of accepting from VECO a gas grill, furniture and tools, and of failing to report swapping an old Ford for a new Land Rover for his daughter Lily.”  Stevens denies the allegations siting the fact that the gas requirements of the Land Rover would quickly balance the cost of the gifts from VECO.

In an effort to clear his name of the ambiguous nature his “Hopeful Future” campaign bestowed upon him, Presidential hopeful Barack Obama has announced that, if elected, he will order review of executive orders that might “trample on liberty.”  When asked who would be his attorney general to carryout the broadly nebulous and vague goal typical for his platform, Obama responded with a shockingly detailed answer of “I don’t know.”

Pop singer Stacy Ann Ferguson (Fergie to the hip crowd) is “thrilled” to be playing “basically a prostitute on the beach” in Rob Marhsall’s production of Nine.  She hopes to learn from some of the “great actors” also in the film, such as Danielle Day-Lewis, Nicole Kidman and even Dame Judy Dench, in hopes of expanding her performing ability beyond singing trite pop songs and peeing her pants.

Hope, Future Apparently Provide Leadership Skills, Numbers Still a Problem

Well, the thesis is done and I’m back to my coveted tendency to waste time whenever, wherever and however possible (I’m like a superhero that way), so back to blogging:

We all know counting is a huge problem for Barack Obama, but who knew it wasn’t limited to a clueless Presidential candidate, but his supporters as well. In a recent attempt to weaken McCain’s position as Commander and Chief, Obama supporter Wesley Clark has gone on record to say that McCain’s leadership experience doesn’t give him experience being a leader:

“He has been a voice on the Senate Armed Services Committee and he has traveled all over the world, but he hasn’t held executive responsibility,” Clark said. “That large squadron in the Navy that he commanded — that wasn’t a wartime squadron.”

“In the matters of national security policy making, it’s a matter of understanding risk,” he said on CBS’ “Face the Nation.” “It’s a matter of gauging your opponents and it’s a matter of being held accountable. John McCain’s never done any of that in his official positions. I certainly honor his service as a prisoner of war. He was a hero to me and to hundreds of thousands and millions of others in the armed forces, as a prisoner of war.”

Question: If McCain doesn’t have experience as a commander despite being a commander, what the hell experience does Obama have? What has he led (besides a bunch of clueless, moronic supporters who fail to recognize that his campaign a bunch of nothing simply because he gives away Dave Matthews tickets and a bullshit campaign centered on “hope for the future”)? The sad thing here, is that everyone in Obama’s boat will nod their heads sagely and say “Yes, that is quite true. Leadership experience doesn’t grant experience as a leader. What we need is more hope for a longer future. That’s leadership.” And “He was a hero to me and to hundreds of thousands and millions of others in the armed forces, as a prisoner of war.” You and hundreds of thousands and millions, huh? The millions doesn’t include yourself or the hundreds of thousands? Bear with me here, I’m still struggling to understand the concepts of zero and 60 United States comprising the Union, but isn’t “millions” bigger than “hundred thousands?” Again, if Bush said this, imagine the outbreak of “He’s so stupid” choruses that would flood the interwebs and newspapers.

And don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that I’m voting for McCain, but the more I hear from Obama and his supporters, the more I’m inclined to think a a Whopper Jr. would make a better nominee than Barack. Tastier, too.
