10 Pick Up Lines From The Supreme Leader Of North Korea

The picture is too grainy to tell for sure which one of the Kardashian sisters is now dating Kim Jong Un

This week, North Korean State News agency had released the photos of the North Korea’s new Supreme Leader, the 28 year old Kim Jong Un, attending multiple important state functions, such as a concert featuring Disney characters, in a company of an unidentified young woman. It is so heartwarming to see the young North Korean dictator taking a well-deserved break from running the brutal regime and threatening South Korea with annihilation, and finally expressing an interest in the opposite sex (even if for the sole purpose of conceiving the next leader of North Korea).  And even when you are the Supreme Leader of North Korea, meeting girls is still the hardest part.  So here are 10 of the pick up lines Kim Jong Un might have used to meet his date.

1)  “What’s a nice girl like you doing in a place like North Korea? Is it because I have tripled the number of soldiers guarding the border?”

2)  “Hey babe, do you want to check out my new place? I just got it last year, and it’s really nice, you know. It borders China in the North and South Korea in the South.”

3)  “Do you come here often? Actually, never mind, I can just ask my surveillance people.”

4)  “I have just decreed to rearrange the Korean alphabet so that ‘U’ and ‘I’ are now together.”

5)  “What do you say if we get out of here, somewhere more quiet, just you and me and my bodyguards?”

6)  “Do you have my photo in your pocket, cause I can see myself in your pants…. Oh, I see, that is my photo. And it is mandatory for every North Korean to carry it, you say? Cool!”

7)  “Do you have any raisins? No? How about a date? No?  Well, when do you get your food ration card for the next month?”

8)  “Your legs must be tired cause you’ve been running through my mind all day. And I really hope you did not see any top secret thoughts in my mind, because if you did, I will have you executed.”

9)  “My, you look so beautiful, as if you have managed to avoid the hard labor….”

10)  “Why don’t you call me sometime?  My number is really easy to remember, just dial North Korea’s country code and then 1. And actually, you don’t even need to dial the number, just pick up the telephone and ask whoever is listening to connect you to me.

Many thanks to Ape No. 1, who had opened my eyes to the fact that even the most brutal dictators deserve rich and rewarding love lives.

Feel free to suggest your own pick up line for Kim Jong Un.

10 Reasons Why Rick Perry Refused $70 Billion For Texas Medicaid Expansion

Governor Rick Perry of Texas speaking at the R...

Extremely healthy-looking Governor Rick Perry of Texas says that the state’s 6.2 million uninsured will get Medicaid over his dead body.   Or over their dead bodies, whichever comes first. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

A couple of days ago, Rick Perry had told the federal government that Texas will not accept $70 billion to fund the state’s Medicaid expansion, even though 25% of the state’s population are uninsured.  Here are 10 reasons why the governor refused the money to help insure these people.

1)  A heat wave and a resulting heat stroke had affected Rick Perry’s judgement.

2)  Rick Perry is perfectly ok with his own health insurance plan.

3)  That way, he still gets to blame Obamacare for not insuring 25% of Texas.

4)  By taking the money, Texas may accidentally create more jobs and hurt Mitt Romney’s election chances.

5)  By not providing health insurance to millions of people, Rick Perry wants to solve the overpopulation problem in Texas.

6)  With so many Texans carrying guns, even a minimal extension of a gunshot wound coverage could bankrupt the state.

7)  Rick Perry would only take the federal money for something that’s absolutely necessary, like a subsidy to ExxonMobil.

8)  The Texas State Constitution (which consists of the Bible and the NRA Member Guide) says nothing about the Medicaid.

9)  These uninsured welfare queens are probably going to vote for Democrats anyway, so why would the Republican governor want to make life easier for them?

10)  Rick Perry forgot on whose side he is on, and sincerely wants to help Obama’s administration to solve the budget deficit problem.

10 Facebook Status Updates You Can Use To Identify A Sex Offender

Facebook logo Español: Logotipo de Facebook Fr...

Better not venture out here alone at night.

Last month, the State of Louisiana had passed a law that requires sex offenders to post an identifying status on Facebook, Google+ and other social networks.   Now, not only “registered sex offender” will mean “registered with Facebook”, but this law has finally given a purpose to reading other people’s Facebook statuses.  So here are 10 of Facebook statuses you can use to identify a sex offender.

1.  (username) and Jerry Sandusky are now friends.

2.  “Starting tomorrow at the new job as a TSA pat-down agent! Very excited!”

3.  “I used to love Justin Bieber so much more a few years ago.  But not anymore now that he got old, and I’ve also just found out he’s a singer and his songs really suck.”

4.  “Yay! Just got acquitted on 3 out of the 48 sex abuse counts!! That should shut the haters up!”

5.  “Does anybody have an apartment for rent 3001 feet away from the school?”

6.  “What the country urgently needs is more laws regulating women’s reproductive organs.  The laws we have just aren’t enough, and there aren’t enough pictures in these laws, too.”

7.  “It’s so great to see all of my Facebook friends constantly posting pictures of their kids!  I can’t wait for more!”

8.  (username) changed his relationship status from Single to Double Cell.

9.  “Does anyone know if Catholic church is hiring new priests?”

10.  “Welcome to Bill Clinton’s Facebook page!”

10 Reactions To The Supreme Court Ruling on Obamacare

English: The United States Supreme Court, the ...

Supreme Court yearbook photo (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Last week, the Supreme Court had ruled 5-4 that the Affordable Care Act (better known as Obamacare) is constitutional.  Surprisingly, the decisive 5th vote came not from the Justice Anthony Kennedy as is normally the case in the recent years, but from the Chief Justice John Roberts who normally sides with the conservative justices.  Here are 10 various reactions to the Supreme Court ruling.

1)  45 million uninsured:  (Sigh of relief) Ok, now comes the easy part, not getting sick until 2014.

2)  Mitch McConnell, Senate GOP Leader: This decision has given us the banner to rally around. We will go into the 2012 election with the promise to repeal Obamacare, just as we did in 2010. And we have every intention of making the repeal of Obamacare a central issue of 2014, 2016, 2018, 2020 and all future election campaigns. We just have to make sure that we don’t actually repeal Obamacare by accident, since then we’d have to offer our own solution.

3)  Insurance companies:  This is a favorable ruling for us, since we can count on additional revenue from the previously uninsured.  We would like to thank the Supreme Court for caring about the people, particularly in the light of their 2010 decision identifying corporations as people.

4)  Darrell Issa, Chairman of Committee on Oversight and Government Reform :  I am outraged about the Supreme Court decision, and I will hold the Supreme Court in contempt of Congress if they do not provide documentation on their internal deliberations leading to their decision!

5)  Georgetown University, School of Supreme Court Studies.  Based on our sophisticated statistical analysis of the previous votes by the Supreme Court, we predict that if Supreme Court has to decide whether 2+2=4, it will also be a split 5-4 decision.

6)  Justice Anthony Kennedy:  It is absolutely unconstitutional to make people to have health insurance! But, ummm, I still get to keep my insurance, right?

7)  Sean Hannity, Fox News:  As a result of the Obamacare and Arizona immigration law rulings, the honest hard-working Arizona policemen will not be able to deport illegals, but will have to buy them health insurance instead!

8)  Broccoli growers: Oh boy oh boy oh boy, they voted for the mandate! Everyone was always comparing the insurance mandate with broccoli mandate, so how soon do we get that one? Maybe they’ll make “Eat your Veggies” into a law?

9)  Barack Obama: The Supreme Court is a testament to the wisdom of our Founding Fathers, who have established the court and entrusted it with the power to uphold democracy with their judicious decisions based on the fundamental constitutional principles such as what Justice Kennedy had for dinner and how bad his commute to work was.

10)  Jane Roberts, the wife of John Roberts: My husband has done what you had asked him to do.  Now please, I beg you, release our daughter!

10 Minutes Of Mitt Romney’s Response To The Question Whether 2 Plus 2 Equals To 4

Mitt Romney at one of his presidential campaig...

Not a usual list this time….

By this point in the campaign, Mitt Romney is now extremely capable of answering the most difficult questions without actually answering them.  So let’s imagine what would happen if someone had asked Mitt Romney during an interview whether 2 plus 2 equals to 4…

“Governor Romney, welcome to our program.  The question that I would like to pose to you today, Governor, is this: do you agree that 2 + 2 = 4?”

“Well, you have to look at that in the historical perspective, we need to try to think as our founding fathers did, we need to understand it in historical context. This is, of course, a very difficult question, and it impacts the lives of middle class residents every day. And yet, after 3 and a half years in the White House, and with two of these years with full control of the House and the Senate, Obama’s administration had never actually tackled the question. And this is, of course, is a very simple question.”

“Actually, Barack Obama has argued a few times that 2+2=4. However, Congress had blocked that legislation twice.”

“Well, my position on that would be a complete opposite of Obama’s position.”

“By “complete opposite”, do you mean to say that, in your opinion, 2+2= -4, or that 4=2+2?”

“I stand by what I have said.”

“Governor Romney, when you were running for governor of Massachusetts, you have promised the voters that 2+2=4. Would you say your position has changed over the years?”

“Well, no, of course not, it has not. But I think you would agree that what may have worked for Massachusetts, just may not be a good idea at a federal level. I just don’t think that the federal government should have the authority to regulate that 2+2= 4. Obviously, if you go to places like Louisiana and Mississippi, and ask the good hard-working people there, many of them would not agree with you that 2+2=4. And our country obviously needs more educated people like that, people who are not afraid to think for themselves, in order to able to compete globally. And if you look at my business experience, you will know that I am the best person to lead the country in the global markets.”

“Governor, as you may know, some Democrats have claimed that you don’t actually have any position on whether 2+2=4. Would you care to comment on that?”

“When they say that I don’t have a position on whether 2+2=4, that’s, you know, that’s clearly a character assassination. I do have a strong opinion on the matter. And I am just disgusted that Obama campaign would stoop so low to make such baseless accusations. Because, as you know, the unemployment had been sky-high at over 8% for almost 4 years, and yet they choose to resort to smear campaigns and playing political games instead of creating jobs. Of course, I have position on that.”

“And your position is?”

“My position is that Barack Obama has failed the country.”

“Ok. So what is your position on whether 2+2=4, Governor?”

“Well, I think I have made my position perfectly clear in the course of this interview. I mean, Simpson-Bowles commission had looked at it in detail and, apparently, it is mathematically possible. But we have to look at the big picture, and we need to determine how it will affect jobs, deficits, and middle class. That’s why I support the Congressman Ryan’s budget plan, because I think it contains some really good long term projections of what 2+2 will be equal to in the future, and what can be done about it.”

“Some very good economists looked at the Paul Ryan budget plan, and according to their estimates, for the middle class it will be 2+2=3, while for top 1% it would be 2+2=4,000,000. Do you think that’s fair? Actually, I think we may not have the time to talk about the fairness today, but before we run out of time, Governor, I would like to ask you one last time if you can give an quick and simple answer on whether 2+2=4 or not.”

“Well, you know, I am not about looking for quick and simple answers. What we need is a long term solution, and I can tell you that once I become president, I will address that on my very first day on the job. But, as I have said, I am not about providing quick answers and rash decisions, so I plan to address that late in the afternoon of my first day in the Oval Office.”

“Thank you, Governor, for coming to the program, and I cannot wait to hear your perspective on whether Earth is round and whether water is wet during our next program.”

“Thank you for having me, and I am glad that we have been able to talk about the real issues today.”

10 Requirements For The Job Of The American President

now hiring drug free workplace (new berlin wis...

The sign at the White House entrance

America is finally hiring! Well, it is at least hiring for the position of the US President. There will be a position opening up in November, and there are only a couple of qualified candidates in the running. And, as you well know, Mitt Romney and Barack Obama are also in consideration.  So, if you are thinking of applying for the job, please review the following 10 requirements to see if you qualify for the job of the American president.

1)  Birth Certificate. Note: this requirement is waived for white males with WASP-sounding names. If you are not eligible for the above waiver, please note that you will be required to provide your birth certificate daily. In addition, you will also need to have the document certified by allowing anyone requesting the verification an opportunity to be physically present at your birth.

2)  Must have a detailed plan for economic recovery, such as “Blame the other guy”, “Tax the rich” or “Screw the poor”.

3)  Foreign policy experience. Please note that living in foreign country (e.g., Indonesia) will not count as a foreign policy experience. However, it will count as a foreign policy experience if you are living in foreign country (e.g., France) for the purposes of avoiding the US military draft. Being able to see a foreign country from your own house is also a plus.

4)  Successful business experience is a must.  For an example of successful business experience, see Bernard Madoff.   However, since Mr. Madoff’s schedule is fully booked for the next 150 years, other qualified candidates are encouraged to apply.

5)  Drug test. If everyone else’s less-important jobs require it, why do we have to get tested and the candidate for president does not?

6)  IQ over 100 is required. Effective November 2000, this requirement had been deleted as too burdensome and had been replaced with the following: IQ above zero is a plus.

7)  Relevant experience: Must not have any, or at least must pretend not to have any, in order to be eligible for the preferred “outsider” status.

9)  Proper spelling skills. You must be able to correctly spell the name of the country you aspire to govern. Every HR offical in Amercia agrees that resume typos are a big turn off.

10) Attention to detail and ability to count to 10 is a plus. If you have not noticed that this list has only 9 items, how can you be trusted with managing the federal budget?

If you have met all the requirements, congratulations!  Please submit your application along with the $1.75 billion application fee, and you will be notified of the decision on November 6, 2012.

10 Facts About The Award-Winning Blogger List of X

This is my only picture where I don't look fat....

This is my only picture where I don’t look fat….

People say that first step of fighting an addiction is admitting that you have one.  Well, after almost 2 years of writing my lists on WordPress, I have to own up to the fact that what I do is I write a blog.  I really dislike the word “blog” because it reminds me of words like “bloviate”, “bloat”, “blabbering”, “blob”, “bla-bla-bla”, “blot”, and some other less than pleasant words.  So I have prefered the label “e-comedian”, but I cannot remain in denial forever.  So thanks to voluntaryfiber who had helped me face the truth by nominating me for One Lovely Blog Award, I am stepping out of my blog denial closet, even if only to grab the award, attach “award-winning” to my blog, and then hide back into the closet forever.  If this had been a One Lovely E-Comedian Award, I could have remained in denial indefinitely, but I just wasn’t given the option.  As a condition of the award, I am supposed to post 10 facts about me, so here they are:

1)  In case you were wondering what List of X means… Well, X is Roman for 10.  I don’t know why Romans used X and not 10, and I am sure Romans had no idea what they were doing either.  If they knew what they were doing, their empire would probably still be around.

2)  So far, no one had asked me about the X. That either means what whoever reads this blog is either an educated person who knows all about Romans and their numbering conventions, or just came here for the humor.  I am perfectly fine with either.  If you came upon this blog by accident, I will therefore place you into the “educated reader” category.  If you are reading this, then, obviously, you can read and use the Internet, so I think that’s fair.

3)  Also, “X” means that I prefer to remain anonymous.  Yet I still hope that people read my blog, and believe that the posts are good on their own merit.

4)  From the above you can rightly deduce that I am an unsocial and attention-starved optimist.

5)  I don’t work for David Letterman.  No, he had not offered.  However, I have made a deal with him: he does not read my blog, and I don’t watch his show.  Please note, that as a part of the deal, David Letterman is legally required to deny the very existence of any deal.

6)  I am not one of lesser-known X-men either, and I am not remotely interested in joining.  I just don’t have adequate superpower to fight evil at a professional level. How could I ever hope to battle against a man who can control and throw sharp metals object with his brain, when my only superpower consists of making and throwing sharp and snarky remarks with my brain?  Therefore, I have modified my mission to mocking evil at a professional level.

7)  I am not planning to write about myself on this blog.  And that’s not because I think that my life is boring.  No, I am simply holding out for a professional biographer to write a best-selling hardcover book about me.

8)  English is not my first language.  I have learned it by reading penis enlargement offers, Viagra ads and letters from Nigeria which I receive in my inbox.  This is my official excuse for whenever my grammar is off, so please don’t blame my shoddy proofreading. Besides, my aforementioned learning materials weren’t big on proofreading either.

9)  I am a firm believer in recycling.  That is why I may occasionally recycle my comment into a tweet or an item on the list.  I wish I could recycle my physical garbage as often as I recycle my verbal one.  Also, I have every intention of recycling this post into the About Me page.

10)  I realize that 10 jokes can be way too much entertainment for 1 post, so I got one of those newfangled Twitter thingies to post one-liners. My name there is @ListofX.  Let me be your leader!  I mean, feel free to follow me there. Don’t worry. I am not paranoid and I am not afraid to be followed.

And as another condition, I am supposed to nominate few other excellent blogs for the same award.  However, since I am assuming that these bloggers are either too popular to care or, like me, are also in denial about their blogging, I will recognize their excellence whether or not they want this award:

Army of Awesome People.  Well, “army” might be an exaggeration, but the rest is true.

The Byronic Man:  I may have to start reading Lord Byron just to hope to get to his level.

Class Warfare Blog:  Probably the best-written political blog I follow.

The Good Greatsby:  He might not visit your party, but you can visit his.  You’ll have fun, I promise.

GracelessLand:  If picture is worth a thousand words, then pictures with text here must be worth even more.

The Last of The Millenniums: A source of inspiration for some of my stories, a Mitt Romney lie detector, and more.  Just try to keep up.

NotTheWorstNews:  What I do in lists of 10, this blog does in lists of 3, but at least 3 times more often.

OscarBarnes:  If the movie Office Space had been a blog, it would probably be this one.

RawfulNews: The only blogger who dared to do a guest post on my blog, and by getting more likes than any other post on my blog, he had managed to make me jealous of my own blog!

Finally, an unnamed great blog that I have forgotten to include, but one that definitely deserves to be here. There are other great blogs that I know and so many other great blogs I don’t know, and this will be the place for all of them.

Ok. Coming out party is over. Back to the e-comedian closet.

10 Reasons Why Mitt Romney’s Campaign Bus Taunted Barack Obama’s Rally

Mitt Romney

“I was just driving around in my bus, minding my own business, when suddenly this Obama rally just swerved into my lane…”

Yesterday, both Barack Obama and Mitt Romney were campaigning in Ohio.  At some point before Barack Obama’s speech at his rally, Mitt Romney’s campaign bus showed up at the Obama’s event location, circling the crowd and honking at the people who were waiting for Obama’s speech.  Before Mitt Romney says that he does not recall the incident, here are 10 reasons why Mitt Romney’s campaign bus taunted Obama’s rally.

1)  As it is often the case with Mitt Romney, it was Obama’s fault.

2)  Mitt Romney wanted to shed the “out of touch” label, so he had tried to touch as many Obama supporters as possible with his moving bus.

3)  Based on these junior high school campaign tactics, Mitt Romney must be running for class president now.  This formula of success will work as follows: class president minus class = president!

4)  That’s what happens when you let Donald Trump drive.

5)  Mitt Romney decided that people of Wisconsin sent a clear message that his bus needs to start stalking Obama’s events.

6)  He was just giving a ride to his dog strapped to the bus roof.

7)  Mitt Romney wanted to show people that he is not just some distant rich guy, and that he, too, rides the bus.  He had even put his name on the bus to highlight that fact.

8)  We are witnessing the final stage of the evolution of the political debate: from debate to sound bites, then to town hall yelling, and finally, to horn honking.

9)  Romney’s campaign bus was circling the rally because it leans so far to the right that it just can’t drive straight.

10)  Mitt Romney needs to be tough on China and Iran and wanted to brush up on his bully credentials.

10 Reactions to Al-Shabaab’s Bounty Offer Of Ten Camels For Barack Obama

10 camels for 1 donkey? That does not seem fair…

A Somali terrorist organization al-Shabaab has just offered a bounty of ten camels for Barack Obama, and two camels for Hillary Clinton.   Here are 10 reactions to the al-Shabaab’s bounty offer:

1)  Eric Holder, Attorney General:  The Department of Justice has opened an investigation into the leaks of the classified information from the White House.  Following al-Shabaab’s example, we will also offer a reward of 10 camels for information that will allow us to identify the source of the leaks.

2)  Mitt Romney:  The failed economic policies of Barack Obama have caused the middle class worldwide to sink so deep into poverty, that they can only afford to offer ten camels as bounty.

3)  Barbara Mikulski, US Senator (D):  Because GOP had blocked the Paycheck Fairness Act this week, not only the the American women will continue to be demeaned by salaries that are just 77% of men’s salaries, but also the bounties on women’s heads will continue be only 20% of the bounty on the men’s heads.

4)  David and Charles Koch:   We pledge to double the offer of the God-fearing members of this honorable Somalian grassroots organization.  Of course, as long these people aren’t unionized, otherwise the deal’s off.

5)  US Surgeon General:  Smoking Camels, just as any other tobacco product, is bad for you.  But whatever al-Shabaab are smoking can be even more dangerous to their health, since it may lead to a severe drone attack.

6)  David Axelrod, Obama re-election campaign adviser:  Mister President, as I am sure you realize, this bounty offer is  ridiculous.  However, if al-Shabaab could also throw in a promise to lower the unemployment rate to at least 7.5%, then we should take their offer since it would really improve your re-election chances.

7)  John Pistole, head of the TSA:  Based on the classified information about an extremely credible terrorist threat originating from Somalia, the TSA will now be randomly screening airline passengers to identify and question anyone who tries to secretly smuggle 10 camels onto an airplane.

8)  TSA screeners in all US airports, one hour later:  If you are carrying a pack of cigarettes, remove all the cigarettes from the pack and put each cigarette in a separate zip-top quart-size clear plastic bag.

9)  Mitch McConnell, GOP Senate leader.  I know I have said that we want to make Obama a one term president, but this is a much better suggestion.  Why haven’t we thought of that first?

10)  Paul Ryan, GOP Congressman:  What do you mean we haven’t???  I sure have, and it’s right here, in my budget plan, between cutting Social Security and reinstating child slavery!

10 Reasons Why Mitt Romney And Donald Trump Are Now Best Friends Forever

“So, umm, are we going to do this fundraiser at your place or mine?”

1)  They both like firing people.

2)  If anyone is ever going to do something about Trump’s hair, Romney is the best person to do it.

3)  They have a lot of things to share about bankruptcies.

4)  Mitt wants to hang out with the cool guys and celebrities, and Donald was the coolest of the three people willing to to hang out with Mitt.  Seriously, even Octomom, Casey Anthony, and George W. Bush have told Mitt they had to wash their hair.

5)  Romney wants to get a spot in Trump’s “The Apprentice”.

6)  Trump’s vote represents yet another vote for Romney (unless NBC films “The Apprentice” on November 6)

7)  Romney and Trump had bonded over their investment losses in the Facebook IPO.  Or, as they refer to it, became friends on Facebook.

8)  Compared to Trump, Romney does actually look like a reasonable moderate.

9)  Mitt thinks that Donald is a perfect representation of the average American.  Also, Donald Trump is the embodiment of the American Dream: after all, he had lost everything but pulled himself up by his hair.

10)  By sucking up to Donald Trump, Mitt Romney wants to keep Donald obsessing about Obama’s birth certificates, and not caring about Romney’s birth certificate.

And Romney better keep Trump away from his birth certificate: check out this article explaining why Mitt Romney birth certificate is a fake.
