Obama Apologizes to Nancy Reagan for Seance Comment

non heinous

From Fox News:

At a news conference in Chicago, Obama said he had spoken with all the living presidents as he prepares to take office in January. Then he smiled and said, "I didn't want to get into a Nancy Reagan thing about doing any seances."

Some of the right wing online community are trying to get worked up over this. Come on, really? Let's wait for him to do something truly offensive so as not to be accused of crying wolf too many times.

That isn't to say I won't be making fun of him:


President elect Barack Obama revealed his inexperience last night when, during a seance, he conjured a character from Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. His intended target was late President Abraham Lincoln.

Yeah, I know, pretty weak. I was going for pure silliness. I got the idea from the caption contest at The Gone Rick Motel. In the photo, Obama looks like he is trying to conjure something. Combine that with the seance story and it just seemed like the right thing to do.

Here is the original photo and my caption, before I tied the seance story with it:


Will somebody answer the damn phone? What time is it anyway?

Also, just for the heck of it, here is a scene from Bill and Ted. Enjoy:

Puttin On The Ritz

Little Girl: You'll declare its simply topping; To be there and hear them swapping; Smart tidbits.
Mummy: Puttin on the ritz!

Here is the reference:



Maybe I should have watched the video before posting my entry. The lyrics I used didn't make it into the Young Frankenstein clip. Oh well, you get the idea.

"Whoa, sux to be them."

Yeah. I know. I'm not thrilled about it either. Unfortunately, the obvious Firestarter angle was already taken. So I decided to do something different this time and do a Photoshop entry. Here it is:

Photoshop / Caption Contests

can't get enough of these

Cowboy Blob has his weekend contest up. Here is the photo and my entry:


"Look at the gams on that dame!", "Nice walking sticks!", "Now that's a Chattanooga choo-choo!", "Bully!", "Bully!", "Bully!"

I also entered The Gone Rick Motel's contest. While I was over there I noticed he had me on his blogroll. I will return the favor, but Blogrolling appears to be crapping out at the moment.

Anyway, here is the picture and my entry for his contest:


"I just want to honor my son. This has nothing to do with me!"

Gary Coleman wasn't proud of mutilating the Shetland Pony, but they do make the finest drums.

I Won a Major Award!

it's pronounced fra-jeel-lee

Yay for me, I won the caption contest at Cowboy Blob's! Sometimes I crack myself up.

I entered another one over at Outside the Beltway. Here is the photo and my entry:

3. A time machine

I don't care who you are. That there is funny. Unfortunately, they didn't think so. I didn't even get an honorable mention. C'mon. Really?!?

In other news, I've decided never to refer to you-know-who by name on this site again. Henceforth, his name shall be Bareass Obambi. Google seems to think this site would be a fine place to peddle his wares. This should fix'em.

Not For the Faint of Heart

too late

There is a caption / photoshop contest over at Cowboy Blob's. Here is the photo and my caption entry:


Marge was perplexed as to why her jetpack never achieved lift, but could now rule out the extra weight of her clothes.

At least, I think it's a she. Bbbrrrrr.
