As DougJ noted, the Red State Strike Force is sounding a little emo, and since a half or more of our content is based on the actions of Red State and others like them, it is in our best interest to keep their spirits lifted and to keep them soldiering on. As such, we offer this video to cheer up our wounded soldiers:
Cheer up, little soldiers.

I lasted 18 seconds.
I believe that’s a record.
(I was hoping for "Everybody Hurts.")
The Grand Panjandrum
Maybe some fresh baked cookies and a glass of cold milk will make it all better?
Michael
I was thinking that a much better song for them would be "Macho Man" by The Village People.
Either that, or some riff from "In the Navy".
Incertus
@The Grand Panjandrum: Only if you offer to kiss their boo-boos and make them all better too.
Shinobi
It burns us. It burns us.
SnarkIntern
Okay, who sent in the video of my workgroup?
Media Browski
I need some crackers to go with that cheez.
TheFountainHead
Damnit, now the blood from my ears is all over my laptop…what a mess…

I guess nothing makes you more irrelevant than constantly telling people how relevant you are.
House republicans would be another example that comes to mind.
Of course, considering the abject, complete and utter failure of the last occupant of the White House, there is no way on earth that President Obama can not look better, sound better and perform better, both as a human being and as a president.

Have you ever noticed that if you’re eating a sandwich with mustard, that the mustard will get on SOMETHING, every time?
.
The consistency of this occurrence is amazing.

@joe from Lowell: I clicked play, saw "Simple Plan", clicked pause. Total time, 0:02, a record for me also.
The Moar You Know
Goddamn that sucked. I made it about seven seconds.
Joshua Norton
OT, but Blago has finally spoken at his Impeachment trial.
Not sure if it did any good, but at least he finally showed up. I guess his booking agent ran out of talk shows that wanted to put him on. Maybe he can get a shampoo commercial. He does have purty hair.
Barry
Maybe next time "Tiny Guns" by Oingo-Boingo
Notorious P.A.T.
This is for you, Strike Force:

Apparently the problem was that not all
KeystoneRed State Strike Force Commandos had the latest Secret Decoder Ring.Sirkowski
Québec first gave you Céline Dion. Now Simple Plan.
We’re sorry America.

I had to go hunt up the REM tune as a mind palate cleanser.
not really jesus general
you leave my little soldier out of this.

Okay, yeah, cheap, easy fun has been made of the RSSF little soldiers brandishing their silly putty eggs and shipping off their balls. Like they have any to spare even if they are made of rubber like their wetsut BDUs.
But any day now, I fully expect true Republican steel to come to the front. Building on their House stimulus package victory. Projecting and staying true to those movement conservative ideals and principles as no other option is possible or contemplated.
Future Decideress Sarah will lead the way. To stimulus package money allocated for infrastructure and other projects within states, we already know her unequivocal answer: “Thanks, but no thanks.” Other R-govs will snarl saying the same. R-congressmen and senators pledging their states and districts will decline stimulus money and return it to Treasury. They’re stalwarts, that’s what they are.
Yeah, that’ll happen.
Nicole
I lasted 1:02, wusses. Top that.
Douche Baggins
So THAT’s what "emo" is all about. Jesus fuck. I get it. "Nothing matters"… oh, boo-hoo, ya pansy.
HyperIon
but is that a good thing?
geg6
Could it possibly be? Do we finally have ourselves the mythical "better Democrats?"
Maybe.

But Québec also produced Emanuelle Chriqui, Leonard Cohen and Oscar Peterson, so that’s got to make up for something, right?
Krista
And yeah, I’m not a fan of Simple Plan. We get it…you’re deeply hurt and nobody understands you.
They’re in the genre that I like to call "Snot Rock". They think that they’re rebellious and punk, but they just come across as snotty, entitled little whiners who need a good swat upside the head and about a year spent teaching English in a Third World country.
Glenn Fayard
Kix.
Don’t Close Your Eyes.
THE ONLY FUCKING OPTION.
(And the only good thing out of Quebec I can think of is Poutine. Preferably with foie gras.)
