Conservative Blog Post – supplemental
This came in and seemed worthy of throwing out there.
Given the seriousness of the issues the USA and the world faces and how some people are suffering as a result, is this a time to be making jokes about our leaders and policies? I don’t believe people should stop living. But even for me as someone who is not exactly starving to death I find some of it a little out of line. Thanks for your replies.
Well… sometimes laughter is the only way to communicate the absurdies of the situation. Take our current President’s stance on Afghanistan. He railed against the GOP for not fighting the ‘real war’ there and now that He is Commander in Chief, He doesn’t seem to want to be held accountable for what happens in that war.
Or… take our current President’s stance on closing Guantanamo Prison. The President wanted to close the prison but didn’t have any idea or any plan how to accomplish it. It humorously turns out that even leftist Democrats don’t want trained killers housed in jails within their districts. Where did these intellectual geniusus think they would put the muslim lunatic housed at Guantanamo?
At least Saturday Night Live is starting to see the absurdities with this administration. We’ll see how far they have the courage to push it.
What is the most conservative way to do your nails for a job interview?
Conservative Blog Question:
Interesting – if unrelated – question from earlier reader.
———————————
I have a job interview with the Army JAG Corps and I need to look as conservative and professional as possible. I am going to pull my hair back and wear a muted, neutral skirt suit with pearl earrings. But what color should I do my nails? Should I get a pale pink, a bright red, a french manicure, or just paint them clear? I am interviewing for a legal position and legal employers always say their interviewees are not conservative enough. So what is the most conservative way to do your nails? I need to look like Margaret Thatcher, basically. Also, would you wear an american flag pin with your suit if you were interviewing for a civilian job with the military? Any other advice on how to look as conservative & professional as possible at a job interview would be welcome. Thanks!
Well groomed, clear polish, or pale pink. Nails no longer the 1/2 inch past the finger tip.

Conservative Blog Response:
This seems like good advice and would work for women as well. This seemed appropriate to post today as the Prez is meeting with gay activists to go over what they believe His failings on gays in the military are.
Where can I find Korean political humor comic strips from the last dictatorship period??

Question from the field: Where can I find Korean Political Humor Comic Strips from the Last Dictatorship Period?
I need these for a paper, I can find someone who translates them if they’re in Korean, but I can’t find any in any language! Please help!
Answer:
Don’t look any further than the New York Times… Just substitute “Dear Leader” for “Obama” or “The President.” You won’t even have to translate anything.
Political Humor?
THIS IS A NONPARTISAN JOKE THAT CAN BE ENJOYED BY ALL PARTIES!
While walking down the street one day a US senator is tragically hit by a truck and dies. His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance. “Welcome to heaven,” says St. Peter . “Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we’re not sure what to do with you.” “No problem, just let me in,” says the man. “Well, I’d like to, but I have orders from higher up. What we’ll do is have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity.” “Really, I’ve made up my mind. I want to be i n heaven,” says the senator “I’m sorry, but we have our rules.” And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell. The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with him. Everyone is very happy and in evening dress . They run to greet him, shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at the expense of the people. They play a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster, caviar and champagne. Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly guy who has a good time dancing and telling jokes. They are having such a good time that before he realizes i t, it is time to go. Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises… The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens on heaven where St. Peter is waiting for him. “Now it’s time to visit heaven.” So, 24 hours pass with the senator joining a group of contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good time and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter returns. “Well, then, you’ve spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now choose your eternity.” The senator reflects for a minute, then he answers: “Well, I would never have said it before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be better off in hell.” So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell. Now the doors of the elevator open and he’s in the middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage. He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls from above. The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulder. “I don’t understand,” stammers the senator. “Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now there’s just a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable. What happened?” The devil looks at him, smiles and says, “Yesterday we were campaigning…… ……………Today you voted.”
