“How I Learned To Love The Drones” was the headline/caption Drudge Report used for the subject of our latest Tatler Photo Caption Contest.
Am I being presumptuous when I state that our photo caption contest fans are capable of writing much better ones? If so, prove me right!
This whole Obama Administration drone controversy with the leaked White Paper, not informing Congress of their policy, and the total lack of outrage by the mainstream media is perfectly timed for John Brennan’s confirmation hearing as CIA Director and sure to be non-stop cable catnip.
Of course there is great irony that drone strikes are being used with much greater frequency, and as the weapon of choice by our Nobel Peace Prize winning president, than by that “war criminal” President George W. Bush, but the level of vitriol towards President Obama is only polite quiet noise.
Now, as I write this, a breaking story has developed revealing that two major news outlets were complicit in helping Obama keep Saudi Arabian drone bases secret for the last year. If you ever doubted that the mainstream media is in bed with the Obama Administration this should put an end to that.
Just imagine if President George W. Bush had a similar secret memo with the legal justification for killing Americans with drones and hid it from the public and Congress, how quickly would the word impeachment have been tossed about? Then, if Bush had secret drone bases in Saudi Arabia, these same news outlets would have leaked it in a nano-second.
Thus, if you need to express some outrage at the double standard and hypocrisy in the media and on Capitol Hill between a Democrat president and a Republican president, this Tatler Photo Caption Contest is the place where you can unleash your rage against the machine. However, please try to stay within the rules of “be nice and stay classy because the media is watching.”
Now, if you need some clever examples of our rules in action, be sure to check out the winner’s of our last contest.
Good luck, have fun and rage on!

With a hundred and ten F/A-18s close at hand . . .”

The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light,
And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout;
But there is no joy in Droneville – mighty Barack has struck out.”

Drop one for no money, two for no dough, three to get ready, now drop those drones
And don’t you
Report on those Blue State Blues
You can’t do anything
So lay off of those Blue State Blues
You can edit the truth
And remove cuts on my face
Slander my name all over the place
Report on nothing that you ever do
But don’t you ever tell bout those Blue State Blues
Stomp on Fox First Amendment
Steal my guns
If we resist
Then here the drone comes
But, don’t you
Report on those Blue State Blues
You’re the lapdog media
And you lay off of those Blue State Blues
You’re the lapdog media
And you won’t tell us the news
Well, you hide about the money
No budget, you won’t show
The debt’s not an issue
And, let’s drop those drones
You won’t report anything
And you hide it all bout the Blue State Blues

CHORUS:
We’re gonna drop around the clock tonight,
We’re gonna drop, drop, drop, ’till broad daylight,
We’re gonna drop around the clock tonight.

If the House slows us down we’ll tear up more.
CHORUS:
When the Amendments bring five, six, and seven,
We’ll send you to dropped drone heaven.
CHORUS:
Amendments eight, nine, ten, eleven too,
They’ll be goin’ down and so will you.
CHORUS:
When the drop strikes fourteen we’ll cool off then,
Start droppin’ on Red States ’round the clock again.
We’re gonna drop Amendments, your rights and freedoms around clock tonight.
Shame on you guys, terrorizing the Taliban neighborhood.

An Ode from the O:
Bush was all wrong,
He bore no humanity;
His plan was a horror;
His practice…insanity.
My policy’s changed,
And one I am hoarding.
Torture is out, with
NO water-boarding.
If someone looks at me,
And offers a threat,
I’ll be human and good,
And smile as I let…
… Loose on my drones
To smash him and his kind.
I’ll blow up his house,
And no one will find….
Anyone close to him,
Be they children or not,
Brothers or sisters,
Neighbors, the lot.
It’s all so exciting,
Simple and clean.
Just send in a drone,
And go to Los Vegas for a fundraiser.

Drones not waterboarding, we don’t torture, we’re meaner than that
