    Unemploymentality. I like it! It’s so Boooshie!

  2. ubr says:

    i didn’t think bush had any speech writers to begin with…

    • mothergoose says:

      He did, but they were mostly done in crayon and fingerpaints ;-)

    • Jane St.Clair says:

      *sigh* And heather returns, hope her jaw’s not sore from the vigorous oral she gave this morning to get this up. I liked yours better, ubr. Also the one that pointed to McDonald’s and said they were hiring.

      • ACSIS says:

        Honestly, this is one of her better captions. At least it kind of makes some sense, you know, blaming the writers instead of Bush for all the verbal gaffs.

        • lowly grunt says:

          Well, I suppose but I think the picture is hard to work with. If you are given crappy material, you get a crappy caption. I give people props for trying.

          • ACSIS says:

            Oh I don’t mean that it’s a good caption, not at all. It’s just not as bad as a lot of others, including a lot of hers, which have made it to the front page.
            .
            Here’s something that a lot of the caption writers don’t seem to understand. If you don’t have something creative to write on a pic, you can skip that pic. Really. You don’t have to write something on them all…

      • pittypat says:

        I think we should all go by heather.
        Heather, did you have a brain tumor for breakfast? First you ask if you can be red, knowing that I’m always red. [puts croquet ball against heather's and sends it flying]

    • pittypat says:

      Oh he *still* has them, on retainer in the Dallas house, so he can say, “it’s hard to put food on your family,” and “families is where our nation finds hope, where wings take dream?”

    • Veslfen says:

      I heard they let Barney compose most of his speeches for him.

    • rhorho says:

      “i didn’t think bush had any speech writers to begin with…

      Bush had a team of speechwriters, with one major stand-out. [LINK]

  3. Jane St.Clair says:

    I love that girl’s coat. I’m out of work, how come I don’t have something so nice?!

  4. MyMyselfandI says:

    This is obviously some strange form of Street Theatre. The question being.. what is their point?

    • penguin_man says:

      Their showing that people are living above what they can afford and are expecting other people to help them when they are living better then the people who they are asking for help.

      • The Steve says:

        Exactly. IE, CEO’s and Execs asking for a bailout from the taxpayers…the majority of which will never see in their lifetime the money those CEO’s and Execs make in just one year.

        • Andrea says:

          or

          people making a comfortable living though are not rich deciding a 500k mortgage or refinacing to build a swimming pool complete with waterfall is a GOOD idea and then expecting taxpayers to bail them out

          theory works both ways. This country is so phukt

          • Johnathan says:

            I know, it is depressing if you agree with the liberal theory of who is at fault. It is depressing if you believe the conservatives. Believing both is just god awful

            • Andrea says:

              and sadly, both are pretty much true. One side shows greed and complete lack of integrity, the other shows greed and complete lack of common sense.and both are true

              like I said. phukt.

    • ma.belle.fleur says:

      Is that website for serious! I honestly can’t tell if they are making fun of people like that or if they really are the people who are like that. It all seems extremely funny and ridiculous to blog about being unemployed.

      • Dhoti says:

        Yeah, but it’s a great way to avoid looking for another job. (Or, to be less cynical, to blow off some steam while looking.)

      • AnnaRexia says:

        In the age when people update their “what I’m doing right now” lists on Facebook, Twitter, et al, this is no surprise. Some people feel that they’re so important that everyone in the world gives a damn about them taking a dump five minutes before.

  5. RankMyTyping says:

    that guy has a nice butt in the top right

  6. drowning says:

    did absolutely no one realize that it might not be an idiotic bushism but a very clever use of words? (the mentality of unemployment)

    • ACSIS says:

      Are you completely new here, completely stupid, or both?

      • azukar says:

        Hey, drowning has a fair point. In fact, I thought the self same thing when I first read it. Don’t get aggressive here – go to 4chan if you want to troll at people.

        • n8 says:

          Tend to agree. “Unemploymentality” is at least as valid as “Religulous”, which was a great documentary by a great man. </threadjack>

          There’s a difference between clever wordplay and bushesque language mangling.

        • ACSIS says:

          This is a ‘lol’ site. The reference to the bushism was the ‘lol’. I’ll grant that it wasn’t actually very funny, but it was the ‘humor’ in the caption.
          If the captioner had simply said, “hey, that’s a creative word that there fellow wrote on his sign”, it wouldn’t really be too much of a ‘lol’ now would it.
          .
          The fact that no one commented on the potential intended meaning behind the made up word doesn’t meant they didn’t get it, it means you don’t get it.
          .
          So I repeat, are you new, or stupid or both?
          I’m voting for both.

    • Andrea says:

      oh wow….I just assumed everyone got that. People DIDNT?? ugh :(

  7. crism says:

    Don’t know who they are, but that is Market St. at 2nd St. in downtown San Francisco.

  8. Anniee451 says:

    Frum isn’t hurting. He just switched to bashing his base, and it’s all uphill from there. Matthews adores him now. No word on whether his leg is tingling.

  9. johnhenion says:

    I think what’s going on in this picture is two people having a photo shoot for their blog, http://unemploymentality.com. Then a reuter’s photography probably happened by and snapped a few quick pics and whala! Internet fodder. It may be a wild guess, who knows.

    • LurkinMerkin says:

      Voilà. With a V. I suppose “Vwhala!” would be okay, if you can’t get to the character map for the à. Sorry, one of my pet “arrgh”s.

  10. azukar says:

    Gotta say, I don’t think this is worth the caption heatherjlc has given it – “unemploymentality” is actually fairly witty, given their context. Maybe I’m just the eternal optimist, but I’d be willing to assume that these signwriters know exactly what they’re doing..

    But hey, I’m not complaining.

  11. woohoo says:

    She’ll blog for food. I’ll tell you what she can do for food. Oh yeah!

  12. Tangent says:

    OMG dat chick is so hawt!

  13. Peter says:

    HELLOOOOO! Does nobody realize this is a pun? A joke?
    unemployment + mentality = unemploymentality..
    Come on people, lets think here.

  14. PeachyKat says:

    7: 30: I woke up! The whether is bd.

    8 : 00: I dun no if I shud go shopping.

    10 : 28: I jst finishd wtchng TV.

  15. Meg says:

    For being unemployed and possibly homeless, they look quite fashionable in P-coats, riding boots, and paperboy hats…

  16. Uncle Fester says:

    Now, say what you think… don’t hold back :twisted:

  17. Johnathan says:

    I serve a great cyanide soup

  18. Well Nitpicking Nancy, seems we were both wrong. Not that it has anything whatsoever to do with my point. At all.
