In depth post on American politics from me

[sabotabby]

The combination of this headline: "Obama may peg Clinton for top post" and this photo:



have put images in my mind. Bad images. Because I am 10.

P.S. If you don't know what that hand gesture is and/or what "pegging" is, please ask a grown-up.

I know pegging, but what's with the hands, dear grown-up?

[sabotabby]

Would that I didn't know about this.

So is this the time to start being disappointed in Obama? Not that I had much hope for him anyway, I voted for him since I saw him as the person who could do the least amount of damage. But fuck, Clinton for Secretary of State? What a disaster in the making. I could see her at department of the interior or health and human services. But this makes absolutely no sense considering that there are at least five much more qualified candidates I could name just off the top of my head.

[sabotabby]

I think he's trying to appeal to the mythical centre. Bad idea.

[rohmie.livejournal.com]

I can't believe he actually considered Lawrence Summers for Sectretary of the Treasury.

Although this one quote gives me cause for hope:

The debates unnerved both candidates. When he was preparing for the Democratic primary debates, Obama was recorded saying, "I don't consider this to be a good format for me, which makes me more cautious. I often find myself trapped by the questions and thinking to myself, 'You know, this is a stupid question, but let me ... answer it.' So when Brian Williams is asking me about what's a personal thing that you've done [that's green], and I say, you know, 'Well, I planted a bunch of trees.' And he says, 'I'm talking about personal.' What I'm thinking in my head is, 'Well, the truth is, Brian, we can't solve global warming because I f---ing changed light bulbs in my house. It's because of something collective'."

Obama is going to wear a strapon and fuck Hillary Clinton up the ass with it?

[sabotabby]

I wouldn't think he was the type, but one shouldn't make assumptions about people.

[ltmurnau.livejournal.com]

Shouldn't it be Clinton pegging Obama?
I've read my Dan Savage, after all....

[sabotabby]

You would think, but they do things differently in America, I hear. This said, it seems a little redundant.

[frandroid.livejournal.com]

Well, looking at that hand gesture there, I could figure out a use for a man wearing a strap-on...

I had no idea I cared about the image of my former university until I saw this image posted in an online community. All the jokes about sex acts made me so pissed off I couldn't even comment. This is the pitchfork given by Arizona State University students and alumnus to acknowledge our Sun Devil Pride. That said I wish one of those students would have given Bush a pitchfork right in the eyes.

[sabotabby]

I would have been sorely tempted.

[springheel-jack.livejournal.com]

what is that picture from and why are they all doing the shocker

[sabotabby]

The official White House website!

And, uh, I don't know why they're doing it and I'm fairly certain that I don't want to know why they're doing it.

[caprinus.livejournal.com]

Sorry, the shocker has the two side-by-side fingers together, not apart; this is a Satanic, devil-worshipping pitchfork. Bush wouldn't want to associated with anything one might find pleasurable, after all.

[outcastspice.livejournal.com]

this picture has already make the wikipedia entry. i love our world.

[sabotabby]

I love the internet. If I could get away with it, I'd use this as a demonstration of the advantages of wikis when I talk about them to my class.

Pass the brain bleach, plz. @.o

[sabotabby]

I used up the brain bleach and it still didn't work.

[erotetica.livejournal.com]

What is 'pegging'?

[caprinus.livejournal.com]

A person, usually a woman, fucking a man up the bum with a strap-on. So I'm not sure how that would even work with Clinton getting pegged by Obama, unless they mean Bill!

[ironed_orchid]

My brane, it's been exposed to too many internets.

[sabotabby]

Me too. But I just repeated the headline to zingerella and she thought the same thing, so we are not alone.

[princessrugger.livejournal.com]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

[sabotabby]

That still looks like the Shocker to me.

[spuzbal.livejournal.com]

Ahahahahaha. I'm so glad you pointed out the gesture, 'cause I totally would have missed it.

(As you may have seen if you saw my most recent post) the LA Times put up an article called "Barack Obama may tap Hillary Clinton to be his secretary of state." And come to think of it, the accompanying picture is also pretty weird:



LOL I just noticed that it's titled "kissy.jpg." What the hell.

[sabotabby]

The gesture has been posted multiple times on my friends list, bless their twisted little hearts.

"Barack Obama may tap Hillary Clinton to be his secretary of state."

WTF? Are they doing this on purpose?

[sonjaaa.livejournal.com]

i thought the shocker also had thumb extended? halp me, grownups!

Late to the party

[eyelidlessness.livejournal.com]

Well I, for one, am shocked!
