Rules for Bullshit Bingo
1. Before Barrack Obama's next televised speech, prepare your "Bullshit Bingo" card by drawing a square.
I find that 5" x 5" is a good size -- and dividing it into columns -- five across and five down. That will give you
25 1-inch blocks.
2. Write one of the following words/phrases in each block:
. Restored our reputation
. Strategic fit
. Let me be clear
. Make no mistake
. Back from the brink
. Signs of recovery
. Out of the loop
. Benchmark
. Job creation
. Fiscal restraint
. Win-win
. Affordable health care
. Previous Administration
. Greed on Wall Street
. At the end of the day
. Empower (or empowerment)
. Touch base
. Mindset
. Corporate greed
. Ballpark
. Game plan
. Leverage
. Inherited as in "I inherited this mess"
. Relief for working families (alternate - "unprecedented")
> 3. Check off the appropriate block when you hear one of those words/phrases.
4. When you get five blocks horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, stand up and shout
"BULLSHIT!"

This is a joke about "corporate bingo" adjusted slightly (and yet not enough) for the sake of an Obama joke.
ReplyDeleteI am suddenly reminded about a Simpsons episode from 4612937643 years ago in which there was a joke about Ronald Reagan saying "well" all the time. Anyway, no doubt there are others.
Bullshit bingo has been around for, like, eleventy billion years in the corporate arena (as Celia says). Ho-hum.
ReplyDeleteAnd the testimonials are pulled from somewhere else.
Whatever....
To be fair, during W years, we had bingo/drinking games around his use of words like:
ReplyDeleteNuke-ler
Iraq
WMDs
9/11
etc.
As RWFs go, this is in good fun. If they were all like this, instead of screeds about our march to socialist utopia and how Jesus loves 'Merica, then we wouldn't need this page.
Oh no, the President talking about job creation and affordable health care.
ReplyDeleteSadly, the current Republican card could fit in one row. "Tort reform," "start over," "jam it down our throats," "ACORN," and a free space for "liberal mainstream media."
Last anon:
ReplyDeleteYou forgot:
Socialism
Democrat agenda
Gitmo nine
How about "Communist Nazi" and "the disease of Progressivism?" I guess that's just Beck bingo, though.
