  3. Maverick   15 years ago

    Oh, I get it. He throws like a girl, so team Unemployment's score is high?

  4. Fist of Etiquette   15 years ago

      Can't anon bot start making the Friday Funnies instead?

  6. CF   15 years ago

    I love it. The advisors are asking the socialist/marxist (whatever he is) if he wants to keep doing the same things that bush did. I don't think that he's quite sane, but it's amazing that he doesn't realize the devastating consequences of pursuing socialism/fascism in the age of the internet where any wanker can google it and find out about the worst economic ideologies that are out there and about the havoc that the reap.

    1. Crouton   15 years ago

      any wanker can google it...

      ...and find an ideology/lie/slander/conspiracy theory to suit his worldview.

  7. Drax the Destroyer   15 years ago

    We get it man. Obama sucks. Jesus, we were saying it before most people. Can we get some cartoons that make fun of Paul Krugman or Christine O'Donnell's "virginity" instead? Or just a bunch of crotch shots of Kate Beckinsale?

    1. Dello   15 years ago

      I would +1 right on Kate Beckinsale's tits. All over them.

  8. BeltwayLurker   15 years ago

    That was painful.

  9. Attorney   15 years ago

    Tee hee.

  10. Mango Punch   15 years ago

    Why isn't Obama catching?

    1. mr simple   15 years ago

      Is that a gay joke?

  11. JoshINHB   15 years ago

    Obama's ears are now larger than his head.

    How long until he can fly dumbo style?

  12. ?   15 years ago

    The catcher is a lefty. Nice touch.

  13. Terr   15 years ago

    Oh. I get it. Black people can't pitch.

    Racist.

    1. Rich   15 years ago

      Moreover, the substance "pitch" is dark, sticky, and smelly -- and, of course, immediately brings to mind "tar baby".

      I am mulling over canceling my subscription.

  14. Mike M.   15 years ago

    Grady Little must be the manager of the White House ballclub.

  15. Fuck!   15 years ago

    Makes no sense because Obama would be playing in a pee wee league where every child bats and don't keep score.

    1. Paul   15 years ago

      It's about trying. Obama is trying.

  16. sage   15 years ago

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

  17. P Brooks   15 years ago

    Setting that little vignette in the Men's Room wasn't very tasteful.

    1. EasyPeasy   15 years ago

      You're not supposed to eat those.

    2. Pip   15 years ago

      I see Obama needs two hands unlike the white guy.

  18. yup   15 years ago

    Obama should be eating an ice cream cone.

  19. Fatty Bolger   15 years ago

    Does he play for the Royals?

  20. Cap'n NoStar   15 years ago

    HP, you didn't hit this one out of the park for a home run, but I'll call it a ground-rule double.

  21. Yonemoto   15 years ago

    So we haave 47% unemployment now? After 9 innings we'll all be on vacation!

    1. Obama's Advisors   15 years ago

      There is no unemployment! They are all on vacation!

  22. Paul   15 years ago

    This administration is misunderstood.

    If you grew up like I do using a romantic eyesight of what my wedding party ought to be like, then no make any difference how quite a few issues there are to request yourself, you're positive of a single thing, it requirements being perfect. these days not everybody seems as worried about discovering the great Wedding Dresses, but for the vast majority of us - deep within - it actually does matter.

Nobody would like to wait. even though dealing with wedding party strain and preparations, be positive to enable your self a lot of time to attempt on completely different designs and discover the a single who says "you".

    The theme of your wedding party would be an significant place when choosing that unique dress. have you been obtaining married for the beach? If so, you may pick a gentle airy style. Have you made the decision on the formal affair? Then by all means, go all out and put on a light attire covered in silk and lace. what ever kind of celebration your wedding party will be, your attire will perform among the most significant roles in it!With the cost of weddings, some couples attempt and minimize back again by creating their personal flowers, or purchase some wedding dress in a specialized dress shop at a high price, but why don't you try to buy a cheap wedding dresse online directly. Where you can also purchase your ideal wedding dress and some new fashions. whatever style, colour or cost variety you sooner or later choose on when deciding on your wedding party dress, don't neglect that it's you your fianc? fell in adore with, not your dress. The attire adds towards ambiance from the day, however it isn't the genuine centerpiece.

    After you have selected your wedding party attire hang it inside bag it arrives in and don't display it to everybody. Give company a thing to start looking forward to once they see you for your initial time walking along the aisle. And unless it is really unavoidable, don't allow your potential husband see your attire whatsoever prior to the wedding. They say it's poor luck as well as if that's merely a superstition, it definitely does spoil his surprise!
