It’s a palate cleanser from my friends at Reason, but an odd type, to be sure. In a spoof of the horror movie 28 Days Later, Reason assures us that on day 128 of the Obama presidency, it could be worse … much worse:
I chuckled throughout, but the real payoff is at the very end. If you don’t have to clean your monitor, you need an intervention. Unfortunately, this administration is full of intervention experts, and none of them are particularly humorous.

These people just aren’t funny anymore. They may be clowns, but clowns are pretty creepy if you ask me.

That was good.
But how did I miss the announcement of White House Poetry Night?
myrenovations on May 27, 2009 at 2:10 PM
<3 (many) people at Reason…

Akzed on May 27, 2009 at 2:09 PM
Kind of like “Killer Clowns from Outer Space”, if you know what I mean…
catlady on May 27, 2009 at 2:11 PM
Reason scores again.
MadisonConservative on May 27, 2009 at 2:12 PM
Really – Poetry night, huh? Did the Cheney haiku get read?
catlady on May 27, 2009 at 2:12 PM
Clowns are evil.

Clowns are evil.
ladyingray on May 27, 2009 at 2:13 PM
And they beat up mimes. :)
catlady on May 27, 2009 at 2:14 PM
Oh God….what if that happened and then Joe got sick….?
“I,Nancy Pelosi,solemnly swear…..”
Now that is scary.
NeoKong on May 27, 2009 at 2:15 PM
Poetry? Well then……
*ahem*
Republicans are red
Democrats are clowns.
The tax and spend Dems,
Are dragging us down!
*Bows*

BidenGaffe could be president,
oh wait,Ethical Nancy is third in line!
canopfor on May 27, 2009 at 2:15 PM
That was great. Especially the ending!
Upstater85 on May 27, 2009 at 2:15 PM
That was EXCELLENT.
therightscoop on May 27, 2009 at 2:18 PM
Meh. I like Reason, but this isn’t that great.
UltimateBob on May 27, 2009 at 2:18 PM
At this point, I think Crazy Joe would make a better president then The 0.
Rebar on May 27, 2009 at 2:19 PM
Don’t like mimes either.
They both paint their faces and they don’t speak. Creepy as hell.
ladyingray on May 27, 2009 at 2:19 PM
Sorry Ed,………
………. After reading Doctor Zero’s post, I’m just not in a laughing mood.
Seven Percent Solution on May 27, 2009 at 2:19 PM
At least he wouldn’t really know what he was doing… It appears Obama knows that his Presidency will turn the US into his beloved Gaza Toilet Strip.
Upstater85 on May 27, 2009 at 2:23 PM
Not funny. I smiled a bit in anticipation of something genuinely awesome and it never materialized. I don’t need an intervention, this video really sucked.
Darth Executor on May 27, 2009 at 2:27 PM
I don’t have clown issues, but those Burger King commercials are beyond creepy, especially the cow tipping ad.
rw on May 27, 2009 at 2:32 PM
Did you read all the way to the last line?
innominatus on May 27, 2009 at 2:34 PM
Maybe on day 228 they can add some clips of Sotomayor…
Upstater85 on May 27, 2009 at 2:39 PM
The most dangerous thing about Obama isn’t his agenda, but the personality cult that lets him get away with realizing it. Biden wouldn’t wield that kind of power. And he’s overtly oafish enough that the press couldn’t gloss over his disastrous policies. I’d consider that a huge improvement.

rw on May 27, 2009 at 2:32 PM
Yeah, masked people are creepy too. Oh, and so are “living” mannequins…
…but really, I’m not phobic or anything…
ladyingray on May 27, 2009 at 2:43 PM
Somewhat related…
Why, after all of these years, have the costume makers not improved the design of the eyes on Easter Bunnies? Those eyes are creepy. With all of the advancements in costume design, someone should have come up with something a little more cuddly.

Except that his fat trap blabs EVERYTHING, at our expense.
maverick muse on May 27, 2009 at 2:47 PM
Patience.
By the first year of his Presidency,
Obama had given to me
A big tax increase on my salary.
By the second year of his Presidency,
Obama had given to me
Two tyrannical liberal supreme court appointees,
And a big tax increase on my salary.
.
.
.
By the eighth year of his Presidency,
Obama had given to me
Eight American states ceded to Mexico,
Seven million more babies aborted,
Six of my favorite blogs banned,
Five Al Gore global warming edicts,
Four Army divisions disbanded,
Three mouth to lap dances for the Saudi King,
Two tyrannical liberal supreme court appointees,
And a big tax increase on my salary.

That’s ‘Klowns,’ thank you very much.
James on May 27, 2009 at 2:54 PM
Easy on all this clown hate, please.
cyclown on May 27, 2009 at 3:12 PM
This party is just getting started.
Obamugabe and company haven’t even got warmed up yet.
TheSitRep on May 27, 2009 at 3:13 PM
The White House Poetry Night slam was pure brilliance.
The Ugly American on May 27, 2009 at 3:15 PM
Less than three people at Reason? :)
Steve Z on May 27, 2009 at 3:18 PM
Please explain the poetry bit.
shick on May 27, 2009 at 3:19 PM
Obama probably asked the Easter Bunny to lay a golden egg to get US out of the recession.
Too bad Obama already killed the goose.
Steve Z on May 27, 2009 at 3:20 PM
According to Obamath, there would still be 57 – 8 = 49 states left.
Steve Z on May 27, 2009 at 3:22 PM
Please explain the poetry bit.

With White House Poetry Jam, a New Era Is Spoken For
We’re here to celebrate the power of words,” President Obama said. Words “help us appreciate beauty and also understand pain. They inspire us to action.” He introduced the first lady as his poet.
Michelle Obama told the gathering that the event was a way to open up the White House and invite in diverse voices. “I have wanted to do this from day one,” Mrs. Obama said. “The notion of standing in this room and hearing some poetry.”
Some called the event the first White House poetry jam in history. Technically, it was not a “poetry slam,” which is a competition among poets — a form of contest that began in the 1980s in Obama’s home town of Chicago. A slam pits poet against poet as they stand before a crowd that provides instant, not-always-supportive judgment. That, of course, would not befit proper White House decorum.

We’re all Bozos on this bus.

I could just imagine Gaffemaster-J(oe) dealing with the North Koreans….
“Ya know, Mr. ILL, when Jack Kennedy ordered the invasion of Normandy in 1956, General Sherman kicked their asses all the way to Casablanca with F16 tanks. So don’t f@$# with us!”
infidel4life on May 27, 2009 at 3:48 PM
Poetry?
Outdoor sale with my brother Daryl
Guns for sale, mortgage in peril
Sold them all, lock stock and barrel
******************
Lava comes down slow but hot
Sweaty hands hold but cannot.
Once a gun but now is not.
******************
Many guns, to many to show
Sold them all, for I needed the doe
The person’s name? Who is to Know?
******************
Lost firearm Haiku’s[gesundheit]
Tranquil forest and silent spring
Rifle lost with broken sling
Tranquil forest and silent spring.

Ace makes a good point:
Mr. Joe on May 27, 2009 at 3:56 PM
Pretty good, but I’m still waiting for someone to do a video with Obama playing the role of High Chancellor Sutler, seen here:

By the way, isn’t it funny that all the alarmism about dictators and totalitarianism is directed it conservatives, when it’s almost always socialists and leftists who actually wind up being behind them? Take now, for example. Wasn’t “V for Vendetta” supposed to scare us about people like Bush, and didn’t we hear about how we were losing rights all throughout his administration? Now, in reality, under the guise of “emergency” we’ve mortgaged the futures of generations to come, Obama is running car companies and trying to run anything else he can get his power hungry little hands on. I could go on and on, but I think you get the point.
And yes, I am stating that we are, at least on some level, now seeing a socialist dictator rise to power in the United States.
RightWinged on May 27, 2009 at 4:22 PM
OK, that is damned funny.
flipflop on May 27, 2009 at 5:22 PM
Can’t sleep. Clowns will eat me…
Buford Gooch on May 27, 2009 at 6:28 PM
Damn. I thought it was going to be for the 3rd installment. Love the first two.

Better the fool than the traitor/spy.
Biden now. A new vice president will then be appointed.
