My Obama fatigue is starting to set in. But I can’t bring myself to slam the door shut on some of these. Get the drum & cymbals ready:

“Obama bowled a 37 because he did not want to knock over the pins. He wanted to negotiate with them.”

“We live in a world where a soliloquy by Shakespeare makes you a bigot, but a monologue by a vagina makes you enlightened.”

“Here is how liberals can understand the severity of 9/11. When the nose cone of the plane entered the building, it created a hostile work environment.”

“This race is the August Senator versus the guy who has been a Senator since August.”

“Obama is so young and naive that Bill Clinton is hitting on him.”

“Of course we use 40% of the world’s energy. We have plugs. We also have things to plug into the plugs.”

I recognize that last one as a slight mod to Sam Kinison’s classic about people living where the food is (strong language warning). Whatever. The lining of truth is what makes it funny. Every city of any size has a suburb and a financial district. Define pollution in any way you want to, and there’s going to be butt-loads more of it coming from the financial district. And yet you wouldn’t propose doing away with the financial district, would you. You wouldn’t ramble on about forcing the financial district to live like the suburbs, would you. Of course not. That would hurt the suburbs, sooner rather than later. Yet somehow when we talk about the resources used by the United States in relation to the rest of the world, and how Canada and Sweden are cranky at us for spewing carbon and eating meat, somehow we imagine merit in thoughts like these…

Obviously, I don’t have the talent required to make these into punchlines.

Sayet does. Many more like those. Check ‘em…
