Minority leader Nancy Pelosi admitted the Democrats were “screwed.”

“We’re basically letting the Republicans and the Tea Party have their way with us. We’ve decided to let them roll back all the liberal gains made since FDR.”

“Not only that, we’ve decided to change the name of the party to the “RepubloDemoTeaCratic Party”. Why even pretend we are resisting every whim of the right wing and their rich puppet masters? Or that we’re even a second party?

“We’re giving up our staffers. And our parking spaces. The Republicans and those crazy Tea Party Pimps have “turned us out” and now we’re gonna live on the streets, selling our bodies for scraps of food.”

Heard it on Fox – a Video About How the Lies Get Spread Around

Posted on July 24, 2011 by troutboy

A song parody about Fox News based on the song “Take it on the Run” by REO Speedwagon”

Lyrics:

Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from a friend who’s
Girlfriend’s uncle said he heard it on Fox
He said heard Obama
Had an alien momma
From a far-off galaxy
And they’ve got a plan for us
To enslave us all as socialists
In a new world order man they’re telling me.

So I’m telling you, man
It’s all part of the liberal plan
In league with Jews and minorities.
An angry man told me, so I’m gonna let him mold me
They’ve got my ear Cause it’s what I want to hear.

It would be kind of nut-tea
To let you best friend’s buddy
Go and operate on your brain
I don’t think it’s smart then
To base all of your views on
Some clown who knows nothing of history.

Some people like to tell lies
To pull the wool over our eyes
And act like they care about the working man.
But Rupert and his henchmen
Pull the same old crap again and again
They hire some crank while they’re laughing to the bank

Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from a friend who’s
Girlfriend’s uncle said he heard it on Fox…

Obama to Boehner: How Can You Just Turn and Walk Away When All I Can Do is Watch You Leave?

Posted on July 22, 2011 by troutboy

(Washington) House Speaker John Boehner walked out on debt talks with President Barack Obama on Friday, raising the stakes in the country’s ongoing effort to stave off national default.

In a press conference immediately after, a visually shaken President Obama was unable to speak to reporters or take questions about the abrupt and surprising end to the talks.

Instead, he placed a laptop on the podium and played a Phil Collins music video, “Against All Odds,” from the 1984 movie of the same name starring Rachel Ward and Jeff Bridges.

Bursting into tears briefly, Obama sang along with the video,

“How can you just walk away from me when all I can do is watch you leave’
‘cos we shared the laughter and the pain and even shared the tears.”

Regaining his normal composure, Obama continued.

“Look, I think the offer I made was extremely fair. Republicans and Democrats alike have got to prevent the government going into default and that means compromise. We have to–”

But midway through the song, Obama once again broke down and began singing along to the video, this time more softly, and rocking back and forth slightly.

“Oh take a look at me now — there’s just an empty space And you coming back to me is against the odds. And that’s what I’ve got to face.”

Obama had to be lead out of the press conference, but returned briefly to address the camera and yell out: “But you’ll be back, mister. Only there won’t be any taking back. You’ll be sorry!”

Heads of Europe Back Financial Plan to Rescue Grease

"You're the One That I Want!"

 

(Brussels) After years of negotiation, Europe’s wealthiest countries have just drafted a plan to save Grease from financial default.

But not without controversy.

“Why are they spending so much money on souping up cars instead of developing sound fiscal policy?” Asked Phillipe Sabot-Merde, French Minister of Finance immediately after the conference.

“And they seem to be dancing around like ninny’s instead of dealing with their problems in a serious manner. ”

“I thought Travolta and Olivia Newton-John made a bijillion dollars off that movie.  But I sure wouldn’t want it to be unavailable.  I’ve seen it a hundred times.  I love it, especially the  song at the end where Sandy comes in dressed as the bad girl.  She was smokin’ hot.”

Immediately after the 4,000 page plan was inked, the finance ministers were informed that it was the country of Greece and not the movie Grease that was in financial trouble.

“Our bad.” They commented. “I guess we’ll have to draw up the usual round of austerity measures. Sorry pensioners.”

U.S. Says Gaddafi Must Go, Oil and Funky Hat Can Stay

Posted on July 19, 2011 by troutboy
Oil Barrel Wearing Ghaddafi's Hat

Just because we want to get rid of Ghaddafi doesn't mean we have to part with his oil and jaunty hat!

 

(Tripoli) In talks this weekend with representatives of Muammar Gaddafi’s government, U.S. officials have made clear that Gaddafi must go.  They have also made clear that his oil and distinctive, jaunty hat can stay.

“Gaddafi is a ruthless dictator who will stop at nothing, including terrorism and even killing his own people.  He must leave power and we will except nothing less,” said a senior Obama official on condition of anonymity.

“There is no room for negotiation here.  We’re not asking, we’re telling.  That said, we have no problem with the oil staying.”

“What’s more, although we hate the man, we’ve always secretly admired his flair for fashion, and especially the cool hats he wears.”

“There’s the traditional dictator hat.”

“There’s his old stand-by, the black beret look…”

“There was a cool purple one…”

Is Gaddafi trying tell us something with this color?

“And my favorite, a kind of Bob Dylan look.  Not what you’d expect, but it works in a kind of East Village way…”

"It ain't me babe, no no no it ain't me babe. It ain't me you're looking for babe."

“Since the political situation is so murky there with the rebels, we’re officially recognizing the oil barrels and the hats as the government of Libya.  Whether they put the hats on top of the barrels or just a hat design on the side, that’s up to them.  We don’t want to interfere in the affairs of their nation.”
