“…alternative energy such as oil shales”? What the fucking fuck do these people think oil shales are? THEY’RE SOURCES OF FUCKING OIL, JESUS CHRIST IT’S IN THE FUCKING NAME! What the hell is “alternative” about MORE FUCKING OIL?
I think a lot of people are missing the point. The fact that there’s nothing in this “budget” is completely irrelevant. The fact that you see with your own eyes that there’s nothing in it and still genuflect before it as if it were stone tablets brought down from The Mount is the point.
You can see that Obama can handle an unscripted Q & A session with grace and aplomb, but your willingness to assert, despite the evidence of your eyes, that he’s a drooling moron without a TelePrompTer is the measure of your devotion.

“We want to save consumers money, create jobs, make penises larger and harder, breasts more firm and perky, and induce a universal sense of unending and nearly unbearable orgasmic pleasure. And the Democrats are telling us no.”
This is a budget like the budget I just sent into our Finance department where we wrote some sentences saying that our annual performance will be measured by the criteria of how many sessions of bullshit are scheduled to take place in our meeting rooms.
We get that figure by figuring how many previous meeting organizers will come back, and figuring how many unknown new meetings we may schedule.
Well I for one am mightily impressed by the intelligence and foresight of the Republican plan. After all, who could dispute that oil, from shale, is a brilliant source of alternative energy. What a coup! Why, we’ll reduce fuel prices, cut those damn towel-heads off at the knees and reduce greenhouse gases all at once! Brilliant, I say!
What? You say they’ve been trying to get oil from shale for 30 years? And it’s too expensive? And it’s still carbon?
“We want to save consumers money, create jobs, make penises larger and harder, breasts more firm and perky, and induce a universal sense of unending and nearly unbearable orgasmic pleasure. And the Democrats are telling us no.”
Snorg, that’s the GOP Health Care Plan and you weren’t supposed to be leaking it til next month. Now you’ll have to go apologize to Limbaugh.
We want to save consumers money, create jobs, and grow the economy, and decrease our reliance on regimes that are not our friends. Now, some naysayers will argue that we could have done all this during the previous 8 years, to which we respond: Go f*ck yourselves.
We want to use orgone accumulators, pyramid power, and perpetual motion machines to achieve energy independence, and to bring about economic recovery by giving tax breaks for the purchase of beanie babies.
All the republicans want to do is make the people who buy them richer. As long as the air is not going to kill us tomorrow, the water will not be gone tomorrow, the land cannot produce tomorrow, and even when tomorrow comes it won’t matter, because at the very last moment their adult invisible friend will save us all, or at least them.
We are for more money–not less. We are for more success–not less. We are for better things–not worse. We are for improvement–not decline. We are for happy–not sad. We are for food–not hunger. We are for nice Mommy–not mean Daddy.

The oil shale process is very destructive and costs at least $60 just to produce a barrel. They’re talking about building nuclear reactors in northern Alberta to make the tar sands process more economical and ‘less’ damaging. ‘Clean coal’ is an oxymoron.
These are the energy sources the world should be running away from. I guess that’s part of their attraction to the GOP.

I too have developed an alternative energy plan far superior to the liebrul sociohomslamunistofascist fantasies which are nothing more than plots to reduce us all to a “Flinstones”-esque standard of living whereby our cars are propelled via foot power.
My plan? Instead of continuing to pay terrorists to supply oil to make the gasoline for my car, I will siphon gas from the tanks of my neighbors’ cars. Used gas is a wonderful alternative to using new gas, and if everybody in the country simply started siphoning the tanks of everybody elses’ cars, soon we’d be on the Republican Road to Recovery with a completely self-contained gasoline supply.
I read this great book recently where some really smart people in Colorado had a cool device that sucked oil right out of the oil shale without any messy drilling or refining. Also, something about using the static electricity in the air to power things. We should all read that book and start using the cool technology they used.
But not the Thompson Harmonizer. I don’t think we need that one.
We want to institute a Surprise Buttsecks policy – but the Democrats say no.
We want a new NASA mission to enable President Obama to personally plant Old Glory on the surface of the sun – but the Democrats say no.

We want to have our cake & eat it too, then do the same to yours, & we want to do it all via your bank-account &/or pension – forever – but the Democrats say no.
We want to take on all the many powers of our lord & master Cthulhu so as to become gods & rule over you unto eternity, making you our slaves & concubines, laughing at your helpless misery & tormenting you for our delight – but the Democrats say no.
Obviously, President Obama is one of the nattering nabobs of negativity long ago foretold by the great prophet Saint Agnew.

Could Jonah Goldberg’s underpants be used for ‘alternative’ energy?
This aspirational election-campaign literature is all very well, but would it not have been more useful about 6 months ago?
Maybe it should say “Correct Underpants” i.e. “Make sure you’re wearing them” And not on your head btw. I’ll never live that day down.
Just install pay glory holes in all red state public men’s rooms and we’d have this problem licked!
The GOP budget: made of Tinker Toys.
That’s it–they’re the Party of Lincoln Logs.
Let’s give them a Spirograph and see what they can come up with.
I guess the clean coal lobby didn’t pay them enough.

Meaning, I pull the number out of my ass.
If they are Pantload’s underpants they should provide large quantities of hydrocarbon fuel. Definitely won’t be clean fuel, however.

Notice the repeated phrase, “…the Democrats are telling us no.”
It’s the classic “I know you are but what am I?” defense.
Obama and the Democrats have successfully hung “Party of No” around their necks. They’re flailing. And they walked right into the trap.
I have to admit, the Dems are in control of framing of the GOP, for once. I’m shocked, I am.

Such a tragedy that all these stimulating avenues were closed off during 8 years of democratic misgovernment.
Here I wake up in the middle of the night, and see this diagram and headline.
Brilliant, Gavin!
Now I can set about trying to go back to sleep, while laughing.
Red noses and fright wigs could have really added gravitas to this plan.
Oil shale?
That’s their alternative energy plan? OIL SHALE?
You photoshopped that, right?
Please tell me it’s photoshopped.
Excuse me, but this is Futura. We are still waiting for our Comic Sans.

Oil Shale, Tar Sands, Clean Coal.

PLEASE don’t start the whole resistance/futile thing again. Because I just, I dunno, can’t resist it.
Actually, the GOP plan is very simple.
Step one: shit in hat.
Step two: clap on head.
All you libruls won’t be laughing when the Republicans blow you away with their new and secret plan to move to an entirely wish-based economy.
We are for more money–not less. We are for more success–not less. We are for better things–not worse. We are for improvement–not decline. We are for happy–not sad. We are for food–not hunger. We are for nice Mommy–not mean Daddy. But the Democrats say no.
fify.
Given the retards this pamphlet is aimed at I’d say the graphics are perfect.
“And the Democrats are telling us no…”
“…you frakking idiots. Get away from the steering wheel! No wonder you guys screwed up for 8 years. That’s not a plan, that’s a string of sentences. You couldn’t plan a kid’s birthday party.

Also and also.
Most Republicans think the tax cuts are somewhere near the prostate actually..
PLEASE don’t start the whole resistance/futile thing again
My borgone accumulator. Let me show you it.
We are for nice Mommy–not mean Daddy.
Yes, but warm mother or cold mother? Pia mater or dura mater?
The people demand details.
They are for Pater Familias before it got all pansy and “the power over life and death was abolished”.

For most of these clowns, “alternative energy source” means filling up with regular instead of premium.
