(-:(-:(-:THE OFFICIAL FRIDAY SILLINESS THREAD:-):-):-)

[Lucky9teen]

All these petitions at the whitehouse.gov website asking for states to secede.....it's just silliness. I mean, I agree with the sentiment, but really? You're going to create an account, give them your name and contact info at the whitehouse.gov website and sign something that says you don't like the federal government? Does anyone remember Obama and his secret "kill lists"? It's just silliness, I say. Does anyone think Obama will actually care what these petitions say? Does anyone think anything will be done about it?  Does anyone think this federal government will take this seriously?

Look at some other silly petitions I found at the whitehouse.gov website:

Best Layoff Letter Ever

Dear Employees:
As the CEO of this organization, I have resigned myself to the fact that Barrack Obama is our President and that our taxes and government fees will increase in a BIG way. To compensate for these increases, our prices would have to increase by about 10%.

But since we cannot increase our prices right now due to the dismal state of the economy, we will have to lay off sixty of our employees instead. This has really been bothering me since I believe we are family here and I didn't know how to choose who would have to go.

So, this is what I did. I walked through our parking lots and found sixty 'Obama' bumper stickers on our employees' cars and have decided these folks will be the ones to let go. I can't think of a fairer way to approach this problem.

They voted for change......I gave it to them.

I will see the rest of you at the annual company picnic.

Yeah, I think they put Wil on the show so people wouldn’t barf so much over Riker.

No Star Trek series is complete w/o a grinning Boy Wonder. I wanted to use a baseball bat on him every time I saw him.

Speaking of Trek ...

“I would be delighted to offer any advice I can on understanding women. When I have some, I’ll let you know.”

"With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censored, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably." -Captain Picard, Star Trek: The Next Generation, "The Drumhead" Actually, that may be too timely to be really silly.
