"It's as clear as a lobotomy." Please come CAPTION Sen. James Inhofe (R., Okla.)!!!!

?w=400&h=307

Sen. James, "cluster-rut of words," Inhofe is saying, "Why it's so obvious I shouldn't have to say a thing. . . . The Oklahoma tornado developed in the United States, but Sandy began in international waters. The United States Federal Government shouldn't be responsible for storms that had their origins elsewhere and thus shouldn't even think about providing relief. . . . But storms which have their origin within the borders of the United States . . . . Well, you catch my drift. . . I think it's in the 14th Amendment someplace."

Check out this DU link for a beautiful (and pithier) CAPTION, a very skillful blending of graphic with words.

He's a lucky old fart. A fews years back the prop on his single engine plane came off while he was flying back from the Grand Lake of the Cherokees area and he was able to land in a field over by Claremore Ok. Anyone else would have crashed.

very American and we should be responsible for it; whereas a super-storm off the Atlantic is messy and congested like the old Soviet Union under Communism, and as Americans we should never support Communism. . . . It's a clear and simple choice."

for one simple reason: there's no such thing as climate change!!! . . . At lease not since God expelled Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden. . . . You should study your science before asking stupid questions."

"Fine, Coburn. We're going to offset this with spending cuts - all of them in OK, all of them to "defense""

C'mon Reid - sack up and call out this psychopath.

12. CAPTIONing at DU is a creative activity.

But many of us like to channel the essence the people being satirized, by using a CAPTION to express what they really think, or what they would say if they thought they could get away with it, or show the confused nature of their thinking, or . . .
