    The cobra in Space Obama’s hula skirt is gonna get him.

    1. Florida Man   9 years ago

      Is this a penis joke?

      1. straffinrun   9 years ago

        Or a David Bowie joke.

      2. Fist of Etiquette   9 years ago

        Depends. Would it enhance your enjoyment of the comment?

        1. Florida Man   9 years ago

          It couldn’t hurt.

  2. SusanM   9 years ago

    Even funnier: Everything needed to make an occupation go smoothly…

    http://www.reuters.com/article…..1420160115

    The occupiers, who took over buildings at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge on Jan. 2 in the latest conflict over the U.S. government’s control of land in the West, had been hoping for snacks, fuel and warm clothes when they provided sympathizers with a local mailing address.

    Instead, as they angrily showed online, they received sex-related toys and food that would be of little use as they braced for a long standoff with federal law enforcement agents who have kept watch from a distance.

    1. SusanM   9 years ago

      “”It was really mind-blowing to me that people would actually spend their money … on all this hateful stuff to send out to us,” one of the occupiers, Jon Ritzheimer, said in a Facebook video this week in which he displayed items including a large sex toy and a bag of penis-shaped candies.”

      1. straffinrun   9 years ago

        Telling them to go ranch themselves.

        1. SusanM   9 years ago

          I just think it’s funny that these guys are relying on the evil government post office (and trusting it enough not to tamper with foodstuffs) while they’re protesting the evil government.

          1. Florida Man   9 years ago

            It is known that if you support one government function, you support all government functions.

            1. SusanM   9 years ago

              A point.

            2. Agammamon   9 years ago

              But still – why would they think that the USPS would still deliver? *I* wouldn’t have counted on it and am pretty surprised that the USPS actually did the whole ‘gloom of night’ bit.

              1. SusanM   9 years ago

                And even so, why trust it? They could easily sneak in RFID trackers, mics and tiny cameras, if nothing else.

              2. Florida Man   9 years ago

                I wouldn’t count on the USPS or private company delivering during an armed occupation. The evil post office quip felt a little too “but da Roadz”.

                1. SusanM   9 years ago

                  Merely some levity. As if armed militiamen getting care packages of dildos and lube wasn’t funny all by itself.

                  1. Florida Man   9 years ago

                    My mistake if I misread you.

                    1. SusanM   9 years ago

                      All good.

              3. Mr Lizard   9 years ago

                The USPS needs the revenue

          2. straffinrun   9 years ago

            I’m too drunk to find the link, but the Feds have been out posing as protesters.

            1. SusanM   9 years ago

              http://thefreethoughtproject.c…..g-militia/ ?

              1. straffinrun   9 years ago

                Yeah, that’s the one. Fucking storm troopers don’t even realize what assholes they are.

            2. Mr Lizard   9 years ago

              Going strong this morning eh?

              *crawls on branch, nods head in solidarity*

    2. Donaldo Trumpolini   9 years ago

      Clearly, the correct response is to mass mail copies of The Turner Diaries to federal officials.

  3. invisible furry hand   9 years ago

    Wow, he really did heal the planet

    1. Fist of Etiquette   9 years ago

      Don’t you see all those hurricanes going on below him? And look, Virginia Beach is completely submerged under the Atlantic, as is New Orleans under the Gulf.

      1. invisible furry hand   9 years ago

        But Planet Obama is tickety-boo. It has a self-sustaining atmosphere of 100% smug which supports its lifeforms

      2. Florida Man   9 years ago

        At least most of FL survived.

        *shakes fist at Obama*

        You missed me again you Sum Bitch!

  4. Will4Freedom   9 years ago

    So Obama can live in outer space without a space suit? He must REALLY be the Superman liberals claim he is. I mean, he HAS bitched slapped the GOP majority for the past few years, right?

    Happy Friday, folks.

    1. Fist of Etiquette   9 years ago

      It’s completely CGI’d. By the moon you can tell the sun is over the eastern hemisphere, but somehow it’s daytime in the United States.

      1. Will4Freedom   9 years ago

        Ahhh… I see what you mean. In reality, you can’t see the rings on Saturn from Earth. CGI keeps getting bettter and better. Can hardly tell its not real anymore.

      2. Rich   9 years ago

        Very nice.

        You must have had, um, a ball watching “Gravity”.

        1. Fist of Etiquette   9 years ago

          OMG. A simple tug and Clooney comes right back.

          (Pro tip: Have fun with that sentence by removing the last two words.)

          1. Swiss Servator   9 years ago

            Pass.

    2. sloopyinTEXAS   9 years ago

      Can he please reverse the earth’s rotation for, umm, 7 years or so? That would be nice. Then he could ray a bag of kryptonite and fucking die.

  5. WTF   9 years ago

    NEEDZ. MOAR. LABELZ.

    *SLAP!*

    1. invisible furry hand   9 years ago

      *slap!*

      1. Rich   9 years ago

        *slap!*

        1. straffinrun   9 years ago

          *slap*

    2. Swiss Servator   9 years ago

      *slaps labels on WTF*

  6. straffinrun   9 years ago

    I’m sitting in a housewife party of 7 Japanese women and 2 of their husbands. They’re jabbering away about God knows what. I get to sneak out for a smoke which is when I get to post this. About ready to plop my white privilege on the table to see if I can steer the conversation in a favourable direction. Advise appreciated.

    1. sloopyinTEXAS   9 years ago

      So you’re going to put your dong on the table?

      That should go over well.

    2. Rich   9 years ago

      Bring your posting device in and ask the group to rock out to this.

    3. Florida Man   9 years ago

      Alcohol. The Japanese love alcohol. Get them drunk then bring out your karaoke machine.

      1. Donaldo Trumpolini   9 years ago

        Arcohor. KARAAAOOOOKKEEEEE! JAPANESE FOR “ASSHOLE WITH A MICROPHONE!”

    4. Lord Humungus   9 years ago

      laccccistttt!!!!

  7. Free Market Socialist $park?   9 years ago

    Why don’t people who post between midnight and 5:00am understand sarcasm?

    1. greasonable   9 years ago

      Probably looking for an angry fix..

  8. Slammer   9 years ago

    The H.PAYNE sign is so gigantic you can see it from space.

    1. Swiss Servator   9 years ago

      The BokStar will destroy it!

  9. Illocust   9 years ago

    I’ll repost in the AM links, but slate has a new abortion article up. The author is completely immune to the irony of her arguments and how they apply to gun control.

    http://www.slate.com/articles/….._laws.html

  10. some guy   9 years ago

    There’s a staaaaaar man waiting in the sky!

  11. This Is My Last Post   9 years ago

    Interesting approach to Surealism. It is like a cross between Salvador Dali and Rene Magritte.

  12. Tucci78   9 years ago

    Bah. Absolutely the best cartoon on Obozo’s latest annual bloat-fest….
