Snapped Shot

Who would have guessed that a mere clothing retailer would give us such a delightfully accurate look into our nation's future under the Democratic Soviet Party of America:

What can I say? I love Japan:

Seriously, I'm not making this up:

Palestinian Ibrahim Abu Jayab, 24, is seen next to his computer, in his family house in Nusayrat refugee camp, central Gaza Strip, Tuesday, Oct. 28, 2008. A young Palestinian in a Gaza refugee camp is doing his part to get out the vote for Barack Obama. With a little help from the Internet, 24-year-old Ibrahim Abu Jayab is cold calling random American families from his parent's home imploring them to vote Obama. (AP Photo/Khalil Hamra)

Notice that this is the same Gaza Strip that is currently run by a dictatorial terrorist group.

Which is one more thing that the terrorists have in common with the Democratic Party.

Update: occurs to me. (Yeah, I'm a bit slow sometimes.)

"I thought Obama said he was against outsourcing!"

Alright, so it's not much. Cut me some slack here; I'm low on coffee!

Cuffy Meigs has really outdone himself; video courtesy Sean M.:



Comrades, it warms the cackles of my heart. I have to say this because we dastardly Republicans weren't issued with proper cockle-equipped hearts.

If you're into this type of motivational video—and I just know you Democrats will be, given your propensity to blindly follow Dear Leader's every word—you will also enjoy this fine listening classic, courtesy the Democratic People's Paradise of Southern South Chicago.

Also known as North Korea.

Nancy Pelosi to People's Socialist Citizens of America: "Elect the Democratic party to a large majority in Congress, Comrades, and the Congress will become more bipartisan."

So long as your definition of "bipartisan" involves only one party, dear subjects. It's for your own good.

She adds that the American people should vote them in, and then hold them "accountable." Which is pretty laughable, considering that they aren't exactly holding themselves to any high standards, nor have they really ever.

Seriously, the Democratic Party devolves more and more into soviet Stalinism more and more by the day. Which would be kinda funny if it weren't for all of the apparatchik media outlets that are continuing to provide valuable cover for them and their silent scandals.

Then again, we've got a free and independent press that always brings us a fair and impartial view of election-year politics, so what in the world am I worrying about?

...

On second thought, maybe I'd be better off getting ready to be shipped off to the nearest Bill Ayers Fun Adventure Land and Happy Reeducation Camp.

It's endorsed by Dear Leader Himself, so it's got to be a blast!

To borrow a joke from Glenn Reynolds:

They told me that under a George Bush presidency, your personal information will be closely watched by evil Republican overlords.

Except, instead of "George Bush," read "Barack Obama." And instead of "evil Republican overlords," substitute "Obama's voluntary goon squad."

The future under Barack Obama's watch is truly a frighteningly Orwellian place.

Ah, the beauty of Barack Obama's worshipful followers:



I shudder in the presence of such genius.

Thanks to Hyscience for pointing me to the vid.

The server did a lot better this time around than it did before, but we obviously still have a bit of tuning left to do. Thanks, everyone, for putting up with the static-mode version of this site for as long as you did. Hopefully, things will run more smoothly as we find more things that need to be optimized for Massive Amounts of Traffic!

In case you weren't already aware, my mortal enemies at the Associated Press are definitely not on America's side in the war against terrorism:

A Syrian security man holds a bullet at the site where a day before U.S. military helicopters attacked a civilian building under construction on Syrian territory killing eight people in the Sukkariyeh Farm near the town of Abu Kamal in an area of farms and brick factories about five miles (eight kilometers) inside the Syrian border, on Monday, Oct. 27, 2008. Blood stained the dusty earth Monday as anguished villagers on the outskirts of farming town near Iraq buried loved ones they say were killed by the American helicopter raid inside Syria.

Incidentally, our "Syria security man" can very easily be interpreted as being an intelligence agent, whose entire job is to present official Syrian propaganda to the media on-site. (Gee, where have I seen one of those before?)

Not that the cowards at the Associated Press think you need to know such crucial pieces of information or anything.

Just another peaceful day in the "real" Virginia... that's almost exclusively populated by "peaceful" and "tolerant" Democrats:

The server seems to be overheating at the moment, thanks to DMartyr's absolutely brilliant Joe Biden scoop. I've turned on a "hardcore" page caching algorithm here on the site to hopefully lighten the load on the database a bit—If things seem a bit "off," it's probably because of that. As soon as things get back to normal, I'll turn that back off and get back to trying to figure out a way to keep this site running during these little news soirées.

Can I resist two Gerry Connolly-bashing stories in a row?

I can not. Bashing Gerry Connolly is what I do.

The latest news flash is that here in Gerry Connolly's Fairfax County, officials are preemptively rejecting absentee votes cast by active duty U.S. Military servicemen and women.

This is the same Fairfax County that's encouraging shiftless young college students to vote illegally, of course.

Gee, I wonder where the difference in the interpretation of election law comes from?

Keith Fimian and his ad people are absolutely frickin' brilliant:



For full disclosure, Gerry Connolly's company just happens to be the same company I work for. Also for the record, they have yet to "reward" me for "accidentally" relocating billion-dollar public works projects to right outside their doorstep.

Nope, can't find anything improper about this e-mail at all, which reads like a totally on-the-level open letter to an up-and-coming public figure:

VP CANDIDATE SARAH PALINS HUSBAND IS THE HOTTEST THING TO HIT POLITICS

NEW YORK BASED RUM COMPANY WANTS TO
MAKE ALASKAS FIRST MAN, AMERICAS NEXT
SUPERMODEL WITH BILLBOARD- AD CAMPAIGN

Dear Todd:

I would like to take this opportunity to express my congratulations on being the nation’s “newest hottie.” We at Caribaya Rums are searching for a product supermodel to be placed on billboards and ads across the nation.

We would like to make an offer to you about representing our rum products. We at Caribaya Rums think that you would become a sex symbol to the millions of women that enjoy our product, as well as become the new face in the advertising world. Even though you live in the land of cold, we are sure that you would melt the tons of hearts that see this ad.

Celebrities and politicians provide the best exposure for product sales. Look what former U.S. Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole did for Viagra. If your wife moves to Washington , you might be looking for a new job. Our ads appear on the back of every New York City bus.

Since our product comes from the tropical islands, our Madison Avenue team feels that a possible ad can have you revealing your bare chest, dressed in Hawaiian boxer shorts, surrounded by our rum.
Thank you for your anticipated review of this request. Should you accept an offer from us we know that Alaska ’s “first dude” will be the most popular spouse in the world.

Sincerely,

Martin Silver. President and CEO

Setting up the advertising@snappedshot.com address has consistenly proven to be one of the funniest things I've ever done.

Which isn't saying much, of course.

I'm not exactly known for my comedy routine, as Rooster is persistently happy to remind me.
