Shame On Barack Obama For Completing His Inauguration

[Boojatta]

We can all understand the emotions of a boy who is trying to get his hand into a cookie jar. In principle, there's no difference between those emotions and the impulse that attracts bees to pollen. It's an impulse that we rely upon because, without pollination of our food crops, we would literally starve to death.

Thus, not only can we understand the impulse that drives a boy who is trying to get his hand into the cookie jar, but we also have reason to expect it, and to be ready for it. At some stage in his boyhood, a boy also begins to anticipate events. He knows that even if he isn't caught in the act of taking a cookie, there will eventually be a reckoning. The unauthorized withdrawal of one cookie from the jar will demand a downward adjustment by exactly one cookie of the official level of household cookie prosperity.

Now, as adults we can appreciate the importance of the level of household cookie prosperity, but this kind of analysis is too cold and calculating for a boy. A boy is supposed to anticipate and respect the feelings of other members of the household, and if he cannot anticipate those feelings, then it is his duty to at least respect them when they are paraded in front of him in an open display of raw pain.

On Inauguration Day, what did we see on the faces of at least two members of the American household? Oprah Winfrey and the Rev. Jesse Jackson, two people who make it their business to stay tuned into the feelings of their fellow Americans, had tears on their faces. Barack Obama, they saw your boyish hand in the cookie jar, and it broke their hearts. You can try to put some fancy rhetorical spin on the events of that day, but all of us know what we saw. A real man would have respected the feelings of the household. A real man would have let the cookies remain in the jar, pulling out an empty hand, refusing to complete the inauguration, and stepping aside so that Lyndon LaRouche could have become President.

1. Lyndon LaRouche? Didn't know he had been fighting for the position.

And seriously, what drugs are you on? Anything legal we could all enjoy?

2. what the fuck is this nutbaggery?

Really, I have no idea what your insane meandering is supposed to mean.

3. +1. n/t

4. Rabbit. Pancake. nt

5. Harvey sized rabbit. Gynormous pancake. n/t

[Lex]

9. Mmmmm. Pancakes . . . and cookies . . . . :drool:

[EOTE]

26. I'll see your rabbit and pancake and raise you one "Awww geez, not this shit again."

[QC]

10. Here you go.

[cali]

6. kicked for the sheer insanity of it.

this has to be one of the most peculiar posts ever.

Anyone have any idea what the fuck the op is talking about?

[rurallib]

7. This is the coded message we've been waiting for

our response is - Paul Revere is riding on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe.

[Rabrrrrrr]

8. The wet moose rises slowly from the marsh to have a smoke and a cognac

[cali]

14. that actually makes more sense than the op.

[Boojatta]

16. I count four replies by you in a thread that makes no sense.

Perhaps you aren't getting enough nonsense in your life, and I have made you aware of an unfulfilled craving (for nonsense).

[cali]

17. quite right, I'm fascinated by nonsense posts.

now would you care to explain what you were trying to say?

[Boojatta]

22. What part in particular isn't clear?

As for my train of thought, I was thinking about the tendency for people to cry in response to an event that they view as positive, when they have a strong emotional reaction to the event. I was wondering whether failure to recognize such a response ever produces serious misunderstandings in interpersonal communication. However, I couldn't think of an idea for an interesting thread along those lines, so I decided to take the idea and have a bit of fun with it.

For example, this part was fun to write:

Barack Obama, they saw your boyish hand in the cookie jar, and it broke their hearts. You can try to put some fancy rhetorical spin on the events of that day, but all of us know what we saw.

[freddie mertz]

11. WTF? This makes less than no sense.

It seems insane, possibly even racist.

Wuddafrak?

[Lex]

12. He's calling Obama a "boy"

but I think there is possibly sarcasm involved. Who knows? Not sure why Oprah and Rev. Jesse Jackson's names are invoked in particular. This is typical from the author of this OP.

[freddie mertz]

13. Really? There have been others like this?

Glad I missed them.

[CoffinEd]

15. Please tell me again who stole the cookies from the cookie jar?

'cause a lot of folks have been trying to pin that shit on me. And I ain't going for it! B-)

[Boojatta]

27. The cookie jar is merely a metaphor.

[Parker CA]

18. Racist and pathetic.

My head isn't capable of wrapping around this one.

[Boojatta]

23. Do you acknowledge the importance of the level of household cookie prosperity?

[asdjrocky]

21. You are smoking the wrong weed dude.

And stay away from pills, nothing ever ends well with pills.

[Bluebear]

24. Wow. nt

25. I have no words, but I have to rec this for sheer creativity.
