House of Eratosthenes

I saw this design on a tee shirt advertisement somewhere, and I’ve been looking and looking for it ever since. Still no go. Google is not built for searching for specific images. The tee shirt might’ve even been yanked down. I don’t want to steal a great idea like this, but it would be an even bigger crime to let it go to waste.

And we’re gonna need it. Big time.

Let all who doubt this will come in handy, feast their eyes on what John Hawkins found on YouTube. View only on an empty stomach.

It’s your favorite movie stars! And they’re going to do…a whole bunch of great, wonderful things…that they could’ve been doing anytime in the last eight years.

But they can only cure diseases and end hunger when a democrat is running the show.

Boys and girls, that is today’s lesson in how to make others look like a wild-eyed, overly-zealous, partisan hack — when it’s really you.

Well, I pledge to remain consistent. I bitched about George Bush’s policies when I disagreed with them. And I’m going to continue with my…whatchamacallit…”real patriotic dissent” or what-not, with the new guy.

Consistency. Let’s see the other folks pledge some of that.

Update: Via Gerard, a great argument from Victor Davis Hanson, writing in Pajamas Media “Works and Days” on why we might go inconsistent in the other direction.

It’s enough to send the Microsoft Word grammar-checker into an apoplectic fit. But it makes a great point. Worth a think or three —

If you are a civil libertarian, if you are in the ACLU or a law professor, or a liberal in good standing who swore that George Bush from Texas, with strut and twang and mangled vocabulary, destroyed your liberties with FISA, with the Patriot Act, and with Iraq, then please extend that outrage to Barack Obama, for whom all such shredding of the Constitution suddenly has become merely complex and problematic rather than fascistic. Please list, cite, name just one instance from 2002-8 in which you lost your freedom, or you were censored on the library internet, or you were followed around by the FBI, or your letter to the editor earned a wiretap, or even one instance of the loss of any freedom under Bush—and if so, just one example of how the election of Obama has once again restored your lost liberty. Nothing in the abstract, please—something concrete, an example both real and personal. [emphasis mine]

Update: Reader Jason wonders if this is what I saw.

Ah…gosh, it really doesn’t look like it. But it could very well be. So long as it’s noted that the idea wasn’t originally mine, as inspired as it is, I’m happy.

And I’m looking forward to adding that shirt to my collection. All those other tee shirts I have imploring people not to vote for liberals — they seem a tad bit dated now.

Kee-rist. I made it 1:52 in before “I hads all I can takes and I can takes NO more…”

Nice to know us senior citizens are so high in the thoughts of The Chosen Ones, tho. Blech.

Aw…ya missed that greasy lookin’ dude kissing his own biceps (after 3 min. mark). Everything before that was child’s play.
