So in his first book, he mentioned that his step-dad had given him dog to eat in Indonesia. Now, as some kind of twisted defense of Romney's dog-on-car moment, some Republicans are referencing a passing mention in a 20 year old book about a 9 year old being given something to eat.
The hockey mom/pitbull joke in '08 was by Sarah Palin, and the punchline was that the difference between them was the hockey mom wears lipstick. Obama, because he is a king of trolling, just turned that shit around and joked about him eating dog meat when he was a kid.
I now understand this joke. I just laughed really hard to myself. I must have watched it like three times before the 'OH THAT IS WHAT HE MEANT' moment happened.
Kind of head tilting at all the jokes targeting Kim Kardashian, mainly because I know absolutely nothing about the person (and being a reclusive hermit, I watch little in the way of television.) so, what has she done that makes everyone hate her? Because it seems to be fashionable.
You know, I enjoyed what I saw of the correspondence dinner, though it got me thinking...if Romney wins the election, could you imagine what his Correspondence Dinners will be like? I think they'd be really uncomfortable and awkward.
"To the caterers for this Correspondents Dinner tonight... did you make all this? I don't think you made all this, I think you bought frozen seafood dinners from Walmart—"
Back in 2008, at the GOP convention, Palin, after a month of referring to herself as "just a hockey mom," made a joke that the difference between hockey moms and pit bulls was lipstick.
A few months later, Obama used the old colloquialism, "You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig," in reference to some GOP policy that he didn't like. Cue every single right-wing talk show host accusing Obama of calling Palin a pig.
Back to 2012, someone in the GOP dug up a line in one of Obama's memoirs about how, as a child in Indonesia, he ate dog, mainly to try and make the point that eating dog was a lot worse than what Romney did to his pet dog, Seamus.

Stop engaging the community's limited population of unimaginative, self-aggrandize Try-Hards. Their try-hardery will eventually do them in, and that wont require wasting your own time, though it's clear why that would be tempting. But dont bother.

I briefly felt the urge to post a long string of mohawked-Jensen-Ackles-giving-the-finger, but what the hell would be the point and it would just take away from my bandwidth. So I scrolled on.
president obama you are the best especially when you make yourself laugh because damn that smile.
SHADE-A-THON IS RIGHT
