Two Whales Good

Bruce McQuain, QandO:
Obama Says 95% Won’t See Taxes Go Up. 68% Don’t Believe Him

  • Disbelief in Obama’s tax pledge is just another sign of why his approval numbers are falling among frustrated Democratic health-reform supporters due to Republican lobbyists organizing right-wingers to pretend they are ordinary Americans spontaneously protesting an imaginary tax hike.

‘Shorter’ concept created by Daniel Davies and perfected by Elton Beard. We are aware of all Internet traditions.™


Note:

This may finally be the obscure title pun that pushes things up and over the edge, spinning down, down to the street below, to land kerplunketa on top of a hot dog cart — ‘things’ being an antimatter hot dog cart full of anti-hot dogs, and imagine how that would be then. Two Wheels Good is the US version of a Prefab Sprout album titled Steve McQueen. The joke is that it’s not even very funny.

Big text dump in the works, btw. It must seem like I’m doing nothing over here sometimes, but I am not so doing nothing not times.

Those are the best kind of jokes. Anyone can write mere “funny.”

Though I just figured an Animal Farm/fat insult sort of thing.

And what is it w/ the “If X% of people whose lives are so empty they pick up the phone & answer questions from some low-life poll-taker believe it, it’s important, or true?” all over the place.

From the item just below the above linked wonder.

Now you can take that any way you wish to take it, but denying on the one hand that they’ll be dispatching inspectors to garage sales and saying “but we’re still going to enforce” on the other sends a very mixed message. Their method of enforcement will be fairly easy – they’re hoping that garage sale buyers will turn in garage sale sellers breaking this odious law.

Well, I’ve got a fairly simple and straight forward message for the feds – butt out. We’ve been raising our children safely since the dawn of humanity without you and we don’t want your garage sale police to keep them safe – thank you very much.

Nope, he wants his children to get lead-painted toys at garage sales. Makes the little brats tougher, I guess.

 
 

Yes, we remember your tearing your manuscript out of the carriage or platen of your “typewriter”(?) & we await the — oh, never mind.

Hey, second!

You know what makes them tougher? Working all night in an intermittent monsoon.

I’m pretty comfortably middle class and I have to say that I won’t mind if my taxes go up to pay for either a reduction in the deficit or toward healthcare for many more people, especially since I see a benefit for myself in either scenario. Really, the only downside of paying down the deficit is that a future Republican administration and Congress would see that as an opportunity to reduce taxes on their extremely rich friends. The only downside of tax increases for healthcare is that it would make Libertarian Jesus fart myrrh.

Hey, a small increase in income tax to fund a huge reduction in insurance premiums, and actual coverage if you need to take advantage of said insurance- anyone would be a fool not to take it.

 
 

Couldn’t this be called When Love Breaks Down instead.

 
 

anyone would be a fool not to take it.

Do I really need to point out the flaw in your logic? We’re dealing with the American public here…

 
 

My first experience with a FYWP up the ass: I posted this and it disappeared.

We’re talking about Americans here…

 
 

FYWP. Ate my post twice in a row.

The Garage Sale Police are no match for the Suede Denim Secret Police.

 
 

The mouse police never sleeps…’strue, there’s a song about it.

 
 

That’s great! “Garage Sale Police” or “Pott of Pikklz” will be the name of my new band…

We’re on a budget and had to settle for Hamburger Lady Helper.

 
 

On the raising of taxes, Barney Frank at that Dartmouth meeting. Watch from around 4:55. Fun at the end when the kooks in the audience show they have trouble distinguishing the state of Massachusetts from the federal government.

We can’t be havin’ with yon fancy littrachaw, now.

 
 

Are you sure you’re not the Maine People of Ireland, given what seems to be a bit o’ the ol’ Downeast?

At any rate, no matter your provenance, it’s obvious you can see for Myles and Myles.

Very guttural languages the pair of them the Gaelic and the Downeast.

 
 

You know there’s a previously unreleased Prefab Sprout album out next month in the U.K.? I can’t wait!

 
 

Very guttural languages the pair of them the Gaelic and the Downeast.

Last time I found myself in the gutter I spoke Gaelic and no one there understood me. Maybe I should have gone with Downeast.

 
 

A pint of plain is your only man!

I can dismiss every thing they said because they are fat?

 
 

Awesome Prefab Sprout ref. Paddy McAloon is such a great songwriter, at least up until ‘electric guitars’ from the otherwise shaky Andromeda Heights.

 
 

I thought the left had their fill of stupid attacks with picking on Bush’s accent. But now they bring us fat jokes. Another indication that the left is primarily composed of people who never emotionally made it past 5th grade.

 
 

This isn’t The Left, it’s a snark blog, but I’m sure if you’re looking for erudite political discussion you can find it elsewhere; perhaps at IMAO or Ace of Spades.

 
 

You see me now a veteran of a thousand sandwich wars.

 
 

You try walking through a mall in a fat-suit brandishing an assault rifle!

What does it mean if you read that headline and immediately thought: “Oh yeah … “Two Wheels Good” by Prefab Sprout …” as if it were a play on “Thriller” or something?

This may finally be the obscure title pun that pushes things up and over the edge …

Sadly, I got it, but I was an alternative/college radio DJ when Two Wheels Good was first released.

Damn, I feel old now.

For any Prefab fans out there, check out the remastered “Two Wheels Good” which comes with a second disc of acoustic versions of 8 of the 11 songs. Great songs and a great production (maybe Thomas Dolby’s best).

RE: “Two Whales Good.” Thanks for not going with “Preflab Spout.” That would’ve been overdoing it.
