So, I open my email and there, staring me in the screen, is one from Gerard with the headline: Michelle Obama Proposes Slaughtering Obese Children! Now you know that got my attention.
EEEUUU! That doesnt smell right.
The article is from Mark Donahue of The Daily Rash:
LAS VEGAS First Lady Michelle Obama spoke over the weekend at a gathering of physicians and nutritionists at a Childhood Obesity forum at the Bellagio hotel. Sporting a sleeveless garment that allowed her toned arms to mesmerize awestruck attendees, the first lady regaled her admirers as a physically fit waitstaff served healthy hors doeuvres and United Nations approved spring water. The atmosphere at the forum was alive and festive with Brazilian guitar music and slender belly dancers. Before she took the podium,

Ok, sounds like any number of valid and responsible reports filed by one of our lapdogs. Then Mr. Donahue moves on to report on Lady Ms comments:
(SNIP)
It was when she began to speak about the morbidly obese that the first ladys tone changed.
She became angry, and justifiably so, barked Jasper Cunningham, a dietitian attending the conference. I dont know how many hours a week I waste trying to convince profoundly large children to eat properly. Its maddening! They dont care what you say, they dont care what they look like (snip)
Sure, slaughtering them seems harsh. But if you take the time to really think it through, its actually more humane to extinguish the poor souls than prolong their agony isnt it? Lets be honest, its just going to get worse, and thats not good for anybody.
Did he just suggest that Lady M wants to slaughter children who refuse to loose their fat behinds? Yes, I think he did!
It starts to become obvious that we have to get the do nothing Congress to pass some common sense controls on what the press can say about Lady M, doesnt it?
(SNIP)
First, if lady M really wanted to slaughter children with fat behinds, dont you think she would be encouraging them to eat fatty foods and drink lots of sugary beverages? Dont you think that she would be encouraging schools to serve fried chicken, chili fries and cheesey tater tots with every meal? Dont you think she would call for the establishment of Kobe Kids clubs where little porkers could get Japanese massages to tenderize them and increase the marbling?
Me too. I think the whole thing is as phony as the story that a YouTube video sparked a spontaneous riot in Bengh...well, never mind.
So, just to clarify; this article about Lady M proposing the consumption of children - is NOT real! Thats right. Its called satire
(SNIP)
And since all good satire is based on rational argument, The Rashs story isnt even particularly good satire because, as I just demonstrated above (maximum marbling), this story makes no sense at all.
Big Guy offered up his own Modest Proposal this weekend, via his commencement address at the largest university in the perennial swing state of Ohio:
Big Guy, projected; gazing at you gazing back up at him gazing at you.
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Unfortunately, you've grown up hearing voices that incessantly warn of government as nothing more than some separate, sinister entity that's at the root of all our problems.
(SNIP)
Two problems here with Big Guys satire: as I just pointed out above, good satire has to be grounded in reality. Todays college graduates grew up incessantly hearing voices warn of government being a sinister entity? He cannot be serious!! Has he not seen the public school pro-government curriculum for the past 25 years!?!
Students havent heard voices warning about tyranny lurking around the corner since the 60s (1960s, not the 1760s). And that part where BO said that our brave, and creative, and unique experiment in self-rule is somehow just a sham with which we can't be trusted well, Im not a psychiatrist, butt that sounds like a classic case of projection to me.
And did you see what else he just did there? He just deflected the students concern away from finding a job to watching out for anarchists. This is good on several levels; it helps the new grads forget that they now have about $80,000 in student loans and no prospect for getting a good job. Despite Big Guy having focused on JOBS JOBS JOBS like a laser beam for 4 1/2 years now. And it makes the Party of NO or at least the remnants of the Party of NO appear to be anti-government obstructionists.
On the other hand, I do give Big Guy high marks in Irony 101 for this little piece of work. In one short paragraph he managed to:
Wow! Thats impressive, even for a Constitutional Lawyer.
Now if he can just nail that spelling thing, he might be President someday.

I would like someone to identify where in history that government was a ‘friend’ to the people, with the purpose of making their lives more complete. It is sad that so much of our population knows nothing of history, other than feel-good-ism.

Post it here, stinking pimp.
I just noticed that the guy on the right is actually making an “I” and not an “O.” So, it’s not even Oiho its Oihi. He’s a joke the media won’t tell.
Submit to the Government
It will make things much easier....
We've now raised up at least an entire generation of space wasting, oxygen wasting, brain-dead "Gimme sum!" dependants who just can't wait for their monthly food stamp allotment to arrive so they can go buy more lottery tickets.

Moochell channeling Margret Sanger?
On eradicating bad stocks:
The goal of eugenicists is to prevent the multiplication of bad stocks, wrote Dr. Ernst Rudin in the April 1933 Birth Control Review (of which Sanger was editor). Another article exhorted Americans to restrict the propagation of those physically, mentally and socially inadequate.
