Did he acutally say “frontwards”? Heh.

I can’t read the quote, the ad (or whatever it is) is laying over the top of it and I can’t get rid of it.

If they shaved the comb over (known in Japan as being ‘Barcode bald’), you’d see that they were becoming skinheads. That or the three sixes on their heads

It’s not a hat, but one of those ghastly [radio edit] cheap toupees. No, worse – one of those weak-ass comb-overs from someone without the self-respect to shave it to the scalp.

My fellow Americans, we can dance if we want to.
We can leave your friends behind.
‘Cause your friends don’t dance and if they don’t dance
Well they’re no friends of mine.

I support this analogy, only because most people today don’t wear hats.

Wait. So they’re selling these hats where?

The problem we’ve had as a party is: too many of our friends, neighbors, colleagues are taking the hat off, because we’ve decided we don’t like the way they wear it

Well, maybe if you spent less time disapproving of people’s personal choices…

Actually, I would need to agree with Caged Lion, it is a good analogy. Whether Michael Steele can accomplish the implied goal of getting more poeple willing to wear the hat is another discussion entirely, and one not directly addressed in the post.

I don’t even know how to respond to that.
Ooh, how about this.

lol.

You have to wonder whether Steele is just out of his depth or whether he knows he’s being used and is just trying to make the best of it.

Right winger "Frank 'Innumerate' DiSalle" explains Right Wing Math: "Isn’t calling an increase from 1 to 2 an “increase of 100%” a tad misleading?" "Duros62 'The Corrector'": "Frank,... An increase from 1 to 2 is an increase of 100%." Right winger "Amused Observer": 'change the subject, change subject!' LOL. Instant classic.

And what would you have called an increase from 0 to 1?

By: Duros62

Duros62 — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 15:50:37 +0000

No, Frank, I don’t think it is. An increase from 1 to 2 is an increase of 100%.

Duros: Isn’t calling an increase from 1 to 2 an “increase of 100%” a tad misleading?

So, Shooting at the Holocaust Museum Oliver…

Indeed. Less than 6 months into a democrat in office and domestic terror is up 100%.
For all the folks worried about getting their guns taken away? Stop providing a very good reason to.

Not many ways one can wear a dunce cap.

Reminds me of Rene Magritte “C’est n’est pas un chapeau” (to paraphrase).
Also, if anyone has ever read the first few pages of “The Little Prince” by Saint-Exupery, there is an account of his drawing a picture of a snake digesting an elephant (even more irony here), but people mistake it for a picture of a hat.
When the surreal is normal, I marvel.

I am reminded of one of the greatest movies ever:

Nina Blackburn: So, guys, what’s the deal with the hats?

Ice Cold: That’s what NWH is all about. We got a whole hat philosophy, you know what I’m saying? I mean, see, back in the days when there was slaves and stuff, they would work in the hot sun all day, you know, with the sun beating down them. Hatless. I mean, not even a babushka.

Tone Def: Word. Heads totally exposed to the sun.

Ice Cold: You know, so by the time they got back to the plantation from being in all the heat, they was too tired to rebel against their masters, right? So what we saying with Niggaz With Hats is, “Yo, we got some hats now, muh-fuckers.”

Tasty Taste: And we ain’t too tired to bust a cap in yo ass.
