A musical about Barack Obama just premiered in Der Faderland this weekend. 30 German singers, actors and dancers will perform in the musical “Hope — the Obama Musical Story”. The songs, believe it or not, are based on quotes from speeches made during the 2008 U.S. presidential campaign.
That Barack Obama surely can sing and dance
A musical about Barack Obama just premiered in Der Faderland this weekend. 30 German singers, actors and dancers will perform in the musical “Hope — the Obama Musical Story”. The songs, believe it or not, are based on quotes from speeches made during the 2008 U.S. presidential campaign.
We say this dog is destined to open and close in one night.
If the producers really want their musical to be a hit, we say rethink the whole thing. Make it more like Mamma Mia! and build it around new arrangements of old rock ‘n roll hits.
We’re talking gold, baby, gold.
So here’s IHateTheMedia.com’s idea of what would make a Hope: The Obama Musical Story a huge international hit.
Angela Merkel is playing President Obama like a fiddle. Germany has said, “Sure, we’ll take Gitmo detainees, but only if they have some ‘connection’ to Germany.”
al-Qaeda terrorists will be trading in their suicide vests for lederhosen if President Obama has his way.
Angela Merkel is playing President Obama like a fiddle. Germany has said, “Sure, we’ll take Gitmo detainees, but only if they have some ‘connection’ to Germany.”
So in an effort to get Germany to play along, the Obama administration has come up with almost laughable “connections” for two of the detainees. No, we take that back. They are laughable.
One of the detainees is a Tunisian who applied for asylum in Germany after entering the country illegally in 1996. He lived in Frankfurt and was known to the local police as a drug-dealer and petty criminal. He left Germany for Pakistan in 1999 just as German authorities were ready to give him the boot.
The second detainee is a Syrian who appeared in an al-Qaeda video in 2001 and announced that he was a candidate for “martyrdom.” No one outside the Obama administration can quite figure out what this model citizen’s connection to Germany might be other than the his own statement that he once sought asylum at the German Embassy in the United Arab Emirates.
C’mon, President Obama, you can do better than that. Surely, these guys have eaten at Wienerschnitzel. Or celebrated Octoberfest. Or chugged a Heineken. Or watched Patton. Or spent a wild weekend wearing leather lederhosen.
Hell, any of those would be closer connections to Germany than you guys conjured up.
How to generate wind power when the wind doesn't blow.
The global warming crowd constantly bleats that wind power is our salvation and to complete the analogy, that we should follow Denmark’s example like a bunch of sheep.
“Denmark’s wind generation industry already employs 9000 people,” said Australian Green leader Bob Brown, “will nicet (sic) 10% of electricity demand by 2000, and is growing at 20% per annum. It’s a major export earner.”
Not so fast. Turns out Denmark’s windmill miracle is more hot air than hot news. When the recalcitrant winds refuse to blow, the country draws its power from Sweden, Germany and Norway.
Uh-oh. Sweden and Germany generate their power with coal and nuclear.
Another uh-oh. Under the Kyoto Protocol, Denmark committed itself to a 29% reduction in green house gasses in the 2008-2012 period. Even with outsourcing their power production to other countries, the country’s 2006 emissions rose 1.7% above its base year emissions.
Of course, as you might expect, Danes pay the highest prices in all of Europe for their power.
This may not be scientific, but it looks like the only way this wind power thing is going to work is if Al Gore puckers up and blows.
The "killer chip" (also known as "the Napolitano Chip" at the Department of Homeland Security)
A Saudi inventor has developed “the killer chip,” a tiny semiconductor-controlled device that can be implanted in a person, allowing authorities to track them from anywhere in the world with GPS.
A second version of the device could remotely release poison to “eliminate” anyone who becomes “a security risk.”
The patent application was tossed by Germany’s Patent and Trademark Office because that nation doesn’t recognize inventions they deem unethical or a danger to the public.
Sadly, Attorney General Eric Holder would never consider using this product on the terrorists he wants to release in the United States, but Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano probably would consider using it on those dreaded rightwing terrorists.
To the Chinese, this condom ad is pregnant with meaning. China’s official media protested a German condom ad that shows revolutionary leader Mao Zedong as a sperm cell. The campaign includes other ads featuring Adolf Hitler and Osama bin Laden.
The People’s Daily, the official newspaper of the Communist Party, devoted a full page to the controversy and demanded that the condom company apologize to China.
Grey Worldwide, one of the world’s largest ad agencies, created the safe sex ad for Doc Morris Pharmacies. They’ve reportedly sent a letter of apology to the Chinese consulate in Frankfurt.
Not all Chinese seem quite so angry, though. “I am a former worker who is now 70,” said one comment on the sina.com website. “I have thought about it a lot and I still cannot understand why these people defend Mao so strongly.”
He is survived by his wife, three children and seven grandchildren (all boys).
Is there anyone on television more distasteful than Bill Maher?
The liberal HBO talk show host has done it again, this time insulting the U.S. military
Here’s what the so-called comedian had to say on his March 27 HBO show:
“Forget about bringing the troops home Iraq – we need to get the troops home from World War II,” Maher said. “Can anybody tell me why in 2009, we still have more than 50,000 troops in Germany and 30,000 in Japan? At some point these people are going to have to learn to rape themselves.”
The insults continued, but let’s get to the response from former Army Staff Sergeant David Bellavia, author of “House to House.” He’s already won a Silver Star and a Bronze Star and has been recommended for the Medal of Honor.
“While Democrats want to accuse the right in America of being hijacked by the talking points of Rush Limbaugh and talk radio,” Bellavia noted, “it is more than a little odd to me that the greatest minds on the left today are community organizers, washed up former sports commentators and stand up comedians. It’s insensitive and hurtful.”
“The fact is that the German people would be the first to protest our leaving their country,” Bellavia continued. “Areas like Vilseck would have no economy without American business and young foolish soldiers emptying their bank accounts on the German local scene.”
The Fallujah veteran said he wasn’t surprised by Maher remarks and explained many on the left like Maher don’t understand the concept of military service.
“Maher’s comments are nothing surprising to me,” Bellavia said. “Newsflash – the left doesn’t get the military. They don’t understand how a person can see something bigger then themselves. And the vast majority of liberals have zero idea of what we face overseas and moreover, cannot understand any situation that could possibly involve taking the life at war. They never have. And they never will.”
Funny thing is, there’s probably some Taliban with a satellite dish outside his cave in Waziristan keeping track of which western “comedians” will be the first to be eliminated when they take over.
Maher’s only hope is that he’s so completely unfunny that the Taliban never figure out he’s a supposed to be a comedian.
You may not have known this, but if you’re a Republican, you’re a Nazi. At least that’s what CNN’s D.L. Hughley says.
You hate Jews, Gypsies, blacks, homosexuals, gays and damn near everyone else. You want to ship them all off in railroad cars to be starved, tortured and killed. Then you will dump their emaciated bodies in large piles. In your spare time you’ll invade Canada and Mexico in a mad quest for world domination.
“The tenets of the Republican Party are amazing and they seem warm and welcome,” Hughley said with a completely straight face. “But when I watch it be applied, like you didn’t have to go much further than the Republican National Convention….It literally look(s) like Nazi Germany.”
We thought we just wanted lower taxes and a smaller government. But D.L. Hughley’s on television, so he must be right.
