I guess we should have stipulated a moving car! A stationary administration is more easily damaged. Tat ![[Linked Image from 4.bp.blogspot.com]](https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8rNTpkRbpbs/WGlct_x1R0I/AAAAAAAAWKc/76BWu82zJDIgExFFOQj-OOLASL2jdVkGACLcB/s1600/dog-catches-car-570.jpg)

Why is Representative Meadows chewing on that car?
A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.
Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

On the other hand, and still on topic for this thread, Gohmerts toothless state could be advantageous in an Iowa primary. Tat ![[Linked Image from dr35ey0x3otoq.cloudfront.net]](http://dr35ey0x3otoq.cloudfront.net/uploads/default/original/3X/5/8/585b4f9225339288aef960c8984c6d39006c0f2c.png)

Dad gummit, that's funny!
You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the old model obsolete.

Dad gummit, that's funny! ![[Linked Image from bhatnaturally.com]](http://www.bhatnaturally.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/dec-58.jpg) Enter MAD Magazine.
The first rule of a parody ad – according to the MAD editors – is that the original ad has to be well known. Readers have to know what you're spoofing.
The second rule for a successful parody ad is that it must trick viewers at first glance into thinking they're looking at a real ad.
In the '50s, around the same time MAD transitioned to a magazine format, Crest Toothpaste with Floristan launched it's "Look Mom, no cavities!" campaign. Not long after, MAD readers saw a nearly identical ad with the headline, "Look Mom, no more cavities!"
But a closer examination revealed that the toothpaste was called Crust Gumpaste with Fluidsteel, the Norman Rockwell illustration of the smiling teenager was actually by Norman Rocknroll, and the smiling boy had no teeth. The copy said, "Crust Gumpaste takes the place of teeth by coating them with a hard white enamel finish!"
Crust
Even the fine print was parodied. The usual "Guaranteed by Good Housekeeping" seal was replaced with, "Guaranteed by Good Housewrecking."
Spoofing even the tiniest elements was the key to making a parody ad work. I sense thread drift, so it seems we need a critter to stay on topic. Tat ![[Linked Image from img.gagdaily.com]](http://img.gagdaily.com/uploads/posts/fun/2013/thumbs/00002c8d_medium.jpg)

It might be a good time to resurrect this thread, as the dog caught the car, again, but this time it was the illegitimate, well I call it SCROTUS, that caught Roe V. Wade. Looking back in the thread there was considerable humor, but even as I'm writing this, the humor is ebbing! Back then we could just laugh at some mentioned like Meadows, and Louis Gohmert, who, believe it or not was a Judge in the Texas county of "The Hammer" House Majority leader Tom Delay of Sugarland. Now we are going to have Jim Jordan 24/7 investigating every Biden anywhere who were to blame for Benghazi, uh Hillary's emails and server, and Vince Foster's murder! Though slightly suggestive of thread drift, I would say that "Critter Corner", is an appropriate place for such a discussion! Louis Gohmert, has not grown any teeth since back then, but he sure has been flapping his gums even more bizarre than before, and I can hardly wait to see his purformance in the Iowa Caukasus , hope I speeled it writ, in 2024!
