Al Gore, Barack Obama and now, there’s you. Trying to save the planet isn’t always an easy job, but somebody’s gotta do it. Well, these Christmas lights actually are pretty easy.
The solar panels do all of the work. All you have to do is hang the lights and enjoy. Not only do you get to save a butt load of money on your electricity bill, but you get to save the planet at the same time. It’s really win-win. Plus… hello? Bragging rights!
I am shocked… SHOCKED about the recent revelation that Obama has not authored any of his 418 tweets posted to his Twitter account, @BarackObama. Doesn’t he have a free second between ruling the free world and meeting with world leaders to fill us in about… oh I don’t know… what he’s eating for lunch, maybe?
While in China, Obama was quoted as saying “I have never used Twitter but I’m an advocate of technology and not restricting internet access.” Right, right, net neutrality, blah blah. But you’ve NEVER USED TWITTER?! And I voted for this guy?
Today on TeeFury, Admiral Ackbar gets the iconic Shepard Fairey “Hope” Obama print treatment. Instead of the word “hope,” the word “trap” has been used, as a reference to Ackbar’s famous “It’s a trap!” line from the Return of the Jedi.
Facebook has been going all Big Brother on us, tracking our emotions and plotting it on their Giant Happiness Index of Death, without OUR PERMISSION! I’ll be suing, but more on that later. Interestingly enough, the saddest day of the past few years wasn’t Michael Jackson’s death. No, that was only our second lowest point. We were even worse off on January 22, 2008, the day of Heath Ledger’s death and the subsequent Asian stock market crash, which no doubt happened because of Ledger’s death in the first place.
Our happiest moments are holiday’s such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. Happiness nearly doubled on Election Day with the presidential victory of President Obama, proving once and for all that Facebook is run by a vast liberal conspiracy.
Don’t forget to join us on Facebook and share how miserable you are!
These googly eyed Star Wars Finger Puppets would be awesome for performing a one-man puppet show, recreating the Star Wars trilogy in its entirety. Sure, there might be a very small audience sitting through the whole thing, but imagine the epicness.
Each puppet costs about $1 to make, factoring in the cost of the felt and a few drops of glue. You can easily make your own if you’re into the whole crafting thing. For extra points, add zombiness.
During Obama’s months of campaigning for the presidency of the United States, he spoke of change. Change we can believe in. I say, the last thing we need is more change. I have way too much spare change as it is.
The Obama Bank provides a place to keep all of your spare change. Finally, spare change you can believe in.
Please excuse me but I’m feeling a bit under the weather today. So without further nonsense, here are your links:

Overlord Obama has officially announced our new commander-in-geek. Vivek Kundra was proclaimed our new president of everything cool and internet-y (along with the FCC head), or the U.S. government’s Chief Information Officer if you want to get “technical” about it. See what I did there? That’s called a “pun.”
Kundra has been known to encourage open sourcing and accessible coding, as well as documenting the governments doings on the interwebz. You know, that whole “transparency” thing we’ve forgotten about in the last, oh, decade or so, give or take two years.
