Mitt Romney vs. The Internet

As always, ThreeifbyStrike is not a political blog. However, with the first week in November approaching it becomes harder and harder to not comment on the current electoral atmosphere.  For example, when two hilarious Tumblrs appear heavily featuring presidential candidate Mitt Romney, how could we not share? 

Mitt and Rob- Comedian and general rapscallion Rob Delaney has made it his mission to badger Mitt Romney via Twitter. With gems like, "Obama should mount the debate stage in a carriage pulled by toddlers whose cancer was cured through RomneyCare," Delaney mercilessly, and often non-nonsensically, attacks the candidate up to several times a day. Thus far, Delaney's success rate can be measured by the difference in number of retweets between the comedian and the candidate for each of their respective twitter accounts (@mittromney). Delaney is winning handily.  Recently, a tumblr account has popped up and created cartoon versions of Delaney and Romney acting out the contents of Delaney's tweets, no matter how ridiculous they may be. The most recent post relates to bacon shortages. Enjoy.

Lucille and Mitt- Mitt Romney  has said some things that maybe aren't the wisest; Lucille Bluth from Fox's Arrested Development has said some things that maybe aren't the nicest. Put the two together and bam, it's meme heaven.  Follow along with the Lucille and Mitt tumblr to see the face that exemplifies all the waspiness of the 1% put with the words of America's Republican numbero uno.

EDIT: It's Mitt Vs. Obama in the presidential debate tonight 9-10:30 on most major channels. Apparently, Romney's been taking improv classes since August to prepare.  Following shortly after stay tuned for round  bajillon of Mitt Vs. Internet nerds everywhere as the meme's gain ammunition.

Fired Up, Ready to Go

Now, here at Three if by Strike, we usually don't wax political. And for the most part it will stay that way.  But if you've been watching the Democratic National Convention, then like me, hopefully you're fired up and ready to go.

That being said, I'll go with the non-biased "get out there, do your homework, and go vote for our next president of the United States."

Obama Brews

If seeing that view of Obama across from me in a bar isn't an American dream come true then I don't know what is. Now, Threeifbystrike is in no way a political blog, far from it, but to not comment on Brobama, or should I say Brewbama, adding his own microbrewery to a wing in the White House would be irresponsible.  This is the biggest addition to the grounds at 1600 Pennslyvania Ave since Taft's bathtub, and that sucker was a monster. 

News of the brews came about after the man in charge made a campaign stop in Iowa and handed a couple  one one of his own 'White House Honey Ales.'  With the cat out of the bag, Obama aides have since confirmed that the President enjoys taking part in his own home brewing and bottling.  Word is the honey from the White House Honey comes straight from the first lady's garden and the ale comes in both light and dark variations, just like the first couple. 

I can get behind everything about this story.  Self-sustaining brewing, going local being green, kegs on Air-Force One, Biden having a few too many and "going Vice City all over the GOP's asses."

While Romney's busy defending his last ten years of paying 13% taxes and the media's discussing Paul Ryan's love of reading Ayn Rand with Rage Against the Machine playing in the background, Obama's kicking back with a cold one, watching his Portuguese Water Dogs chase bees in the garden. 

If Obama gets reelected I think Americans can look forward to a couple more White House brand beers trickling their way out of the district. Here are my predictions for the next few lines to follow the "White House Honey Ale."

We the People Pilsner- Nice and light with subtle nod to Milwaukee.

The Commander and Chief Double IPA- Hopped out the ass with the body of the largest standing army and navy on the back palate. Notes of citrus in the aftertaste but mostly it's just hops, hops, hops.

State of the Union Stout- Strong, filling, will go great with a side of pie and melted American cheese.

I'll be in the capital at the end of September for a Grizzly Bear concert, you can bet I'm gonna try to get my hands on America's Most American brewhaha.
