David Rees — author of the dearly departed Get Your War On comic — is, I guess, blogging on True/Slant these days. (That's one of those websites that I should go to more, but that I don't, because I so rarely get to read the entire Internet these days.)

Anyway, yesterday he posted 10 Jokes About Joe Lieberman and His Threat to Filibuster Any Health Care Bill Which Includes a Public Option, and — I'm gonna level with you here — you need to read them…

1. Joe Lieberman walks into a bar with a parrot on his shoulder. The bartender turns to him and says, "Sorry, we don’t serve bitter old egomaniacs here. And fuck your stupid parrot."

2. Joe Lieberman walks into a second bar. The second bartender says, "Get out." Joe Lieberman says, "Why? Can't I buy a drink?" The second bartender says, "Don’t you get it? Everybody hates you."

3. Knock, knock!
Who's there?
Joe.
Joe who?
Joe Lieberman.
Get off my doorstep, you asshole.

I heard that second one back in grade school. But the others were new!

Seven more over here.

As I'm sure you're aware, the world is still reeling from the total intellectual ass-kicking that Rep. Joe Barton gave that pencil-neck geek Energy Secretary Stephen Chu the other day when he asked him to explain how all that Texas-style oil got underneath the Alaska-style ground.

Obviously, Chu retreated into a whole bunch of sciencey kind of bullshit which was obvious bullshit science stuff — totally embarrassing himself — and Rep. Barton walked away as the smartest man in the 6,000 year history of the Earth.

Anyway, Get Your War On's old author David Rees doesn't think Barton should have been so merciful as to stop there, and suggests a number of other questions that Chu needed to be asked…

"Why can't I see the wind? Is it made of ghosts?"

"How did all that water get in the ocean?"

"How come sometimes when I look at a cloud, it reminds me of a shape, like a horse or an airplane or something?"

"How come things are all different colors?"

"If solar power is so great, why isn't there a Psalm in the Bible that says, 'Solar power is so great / that is my honest opinion, sayeth the Lord'?"

"If global warming is so real, how come I had never heard of it until people started talking about it?"

"How did this thumb on the end of my arm get stuck up my ass?"

Luckily for Chu, Barton doesn't like to flaunt his brainial superiority.

…and by "ultimate," I mean "final."

You'll have to go to David Rees' "Get Your War On" Site to find out what happens in the very last frame.

Sorry, I'm not into giving out spoilers. (That would be meaner than telling you that Richard Nixon is eaten by a tiger at the end of Frost/Nixon.*)

* Whoops. Sorry! I still didn't tell you what kind of tiger, though.

Did you know that there's gonna be a new flag? Yep.

It's just gonna be a white flag with a picture of a burning American flag on it.

Sweet…

Oh, and you're gonna have to start wearing some kind of special moustache.

David Rees' increasingly excellent animated version of Get Your War On on 23/6 increases its excellence once again…

Took a shit. Made the news.

Here's another episode of 23/6 and David Rees' Get Your War On…

This is funny. I think I'll forward it to my Accounts Receivable friends.

Well, my one Accounts Receivable friend. But he doesn't really act like an Accounts Receivable guy.
