When he speaks, he blows,
And everyone knows:
Obama don’t play no trombone;
But were it a trumpet,
He’d blow like a strumpet,
And THIS IS THE WAY IT GOES.

BHO 24/8
[Found here. Post updated.]
MSM forecast for 24/8/11 through 6/11/12
Expect frequent Obamas, interspersed with light Romneys, and an occasional morning Paul. Early polling Perrys, originating in the SW, are spreading rapidly from the region. Possibility of a heavy Christie later in the season, and a Rubio Watch is in effect until further notice. Change is expected, and may happen with little or no warning. Film at 11.
The ScenicBruiser: Another One Rides The Bust
Roll up for The Tragical History Tour of all 57 States on The STIMUBUS!
To be fair, that’s the tour bus from when Obama was campaigning for President Senator Governor Mayor Teacher Community Activist, and we apologize for the innocuous snark – NOT. It appears that he’s envious of someone else’s bus tour (whose name we won’t mention, but her initials are Sarah Palin).
Doug Ross@Journal posted what is purportedly a sketch of Obama’s ScenicBruiser, but it’s intuitively obvious to the casual observer that the image was cropped [view original here; click on the image below to enlarge].
The original image was definitely cropped as it eliminated the trailer labeled “Fox” at the rear. At first we thought that it might be Michelle’s private trailer, but everyone knows that her caboose is much bigger. Therefore it must refer to FOX News, installed as a design afterthought, with a hydraulic pin to make it easy to disconnect. (And, yes, the steering wheel is on the wrong side, as Obama cruises on the left.)

Saturday Matinee – Obama, Dinah, Oliva & Traffic
Before we proceed with today’s entertainment, here’s a message from The President. [h/t Willzone]
Let’s crank up some vintage Dinah Washington, shall we? [h/t coldwarrior]
Someone else suggested a nice fistfulla salsa, so here it is.
Traffic from 1972. Great jazz-rock stuff, and it wasn’t pretentious at all, just nice rhythm and grooves. (Okay, it was kinda pretentious, but it was cool at the time.)
Have a great weekend folks, and be back here tomorrow for more fun.
Face
President Jug Head
I don’t know about you, but whenever our Fearless Leader speaks, I look around and imagine that he looks like something in our kitchen, like the water cooler. Somehow it makes it all better, because I know that our water cooler has no control over my life.
Speechless
I received an email this past week with a link to this image:
I forwarded it to a couple of friends who have websites, just for fun, and ALL of them posted it. Then I thought that I was being a bit hypocritical for not posting it here, on my own site, and I wondered why I hesitated.
The more I thought about it, the more it spooked me. The thought of posting it scared me.
I’ve been conditioned to avoid confrontation with ideologies that I don’t believe in, and to keep my political views to myself. Why should a grown man, enjoying the freedoms of the greatest country on the face of the earth, be hesitant to post an opinion on his own blog?
Tacky Raccoons is not a political blog, nor is it intended to be. There are many more knowledgeable folks than I who are entrenched in political commentary, and I have no business even trying to compete with them. On the other hand, I’m going to comment on political issues occasionally and freely without fear of repercussions.
If for some reason that image, or any other post offends you, let it go and wait for our next innocuous post. We’ll still be here with your daily dose of inane funnies and links, regardless of your political affiliation.
Cordially,
Bunk
Saturday Matinee – Snow Removal, Whatever, Dick Montana, Howlin’ Wolf (and giraffes).
Excellent Snow Removal Strategy [Found here.]
Annoying but kinda funny vid by Liam Lynch from 2003 found at AoS. [Ace has a bonus link to a great rebuttal to last Wednesday’s State of the Union speech, by Obama himself.] Whatever.
The Late Great Country Dick Montana and the Beat Farmers’ version of Richard Hell and the Voidoids‘ “Blank Generation.” Got that?
Meet me at the bottom, get me my runnin’ shoes. [Tip o’ the tarboosh to ADAM at Table 9.]
At least one of our readers wants more giraffes, according to last week’s poll, so there you go, bro.
“Try DOME GAS – It’s Better”
[Larger image can be found here.]
WHOA! 23¢ a gallon! And what a GREAT slogan.
Let’s talk about gas prices vs. inflation.
Inflation calculator: 1926-2009 = 1,108.2%
Price per Gallon in 1926 (regular, leaded): $0.23/gal
Federal Gasoline Tax (up to 1933): $0.01/gal = 4.55%
Actual cost per gallon (1926 dollars): $0.22/gal
Actual cost per gallon, less taxes (2009 dollars): $2.66/gal
Price per Gallon (regular unleaded) 10 July 2009: $2.90/gal
Federal Gasoline Tax 2009: $0.184/gal
California (Local + State + Fed Taxes) 6 July 2009:
$0.645/gal* = 2.9%
* Includes CA Sales Tax (7.25%) CA County & Local Sales Tax (1.25%), and UST tax (1.2%) whateverTF that is.
Actual cost per gallon, less taxes (July 2009): $2.26/gal**
**Note that the base price stated for California gasoline includes costs for state mandated fuel additives, summer/winter mixes, ethanol. Note also that this amount includes franchise fees, business license fees, miniscule profit by the small business folks, and Swantzenegger Boxer Feinswein Pelosi & Waxman fees, other “revenue enhancement fees” emanating from Sacramento, and costs for gettin’ the lead out.

Now Let’s talk about mileage and cost and technology.
