Wrong crowd for that joke, subby.

I appreciated it.

wat

Darkkeyboard: Wrong crowd for that joke, subby.

<shrug> I got it.

You've had that one waiting for a while, haven't you subby.

Darkkeyboard: Wrong crowd for that joke, subby.

NEEERRRRRRRRDDDDSSSS!

That may well be the most obscure green I've ever seen. Definitely the most obscure in a while at any rate.

Sibelius isn't obscure, is he?

Even non-nerds have probably heard some of Jean Sibelius' music, whether they realize it or not. The music that was played at the end of Die Hard 2 when all the planes are landing was from Finlandia (about 2:50 into video).

A++++++++ would destroy in a fit of self-criticism and not compose anything for thirty years again.

Vesalius?


Sorry... my mistake.

Salieri approves

I LOLed.

BKITU: Kippis!

Hahah I learned that from some Fins the night I went to the Haufbrahaus.

As a normal Farker I don't get the joke

drjekel_mrhyde: As a normal Farker I don't get the joke

"Normal" and "FARKer" are mutually exclusive terms. Please try again.

/Jean Sibelius was a Finnish composer, known mainly for seven symphonies, Tapiola, and music used in Masonic ceremonies. He died in 1957.

//nothing's obscure on FARK

I got it right away and lold.

but I'm strategically close to Finland anyway.

Maybe she do for your healthcare what she did for Kansas.

What are her qualificatons? I dont understand his appointments or is she the only one that hasnt cheated on her taxes. At least he's not nominating his cleaning lady to be the Chief Justice of SCOTUS.

hyvää!!! a drink for submitter!

Yeah, I didn't get it at all because I was thinking of Schubert. Good one, subby.

Now, as to why Obama would want to take away the potential to win a senate seat in Kansas in 2010, that's a whole nother story...

Are her taxes in disorder?

You subby with your big words, and classic music and you eletism. You think your better than me. You are not a real man. I mean where's your mullet.

When the jokes about her last name have worn out... her maiden name was Gilligan.

Dear Jerk: When the jokes about her last name have worn out... her maiden name was Gilligan.

Is she Ginger or Maryann?

vonschiller: Now, as to why Obama would want to take away the potential to win a senate seat in Kansas in 2010, that's a whole nother story...

A year or so as a Cabinet Secretary is a bad thing to have on her resume?

Approves.

While we're on Fark obscurity, I'd like to point out that "Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States" does not exist. There are 8 Associate Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States and one Chief Justice of the United States. No Supreme Court in his title.

/Gov. Sebelius, to answer your question, is a popular two term Democratic governor of a fairly Republican Kansas who is said to be very bipartisan. Time listed her as one of the top 5 Governors in 2005. She also, more importantly, served as the Kansas Insurance Commissioner, where she took anti-insurance positions. Presumably, the Obama administration's main goal for HHS will be to shepherd the expansion of health coverage to uninsured, which will face stiff opposition from the insurance companies.
//End obscurity

Sebelius? Isn't he a Sith?

cchris_39: Maybe she do for your healthcare what she did for Kansas.

This. Kansas' government is damn near insolvent.

Obviously: cchris_39: Maybe she do for your healthcare what she did for Kansas.

that wouldn't have anything to do with a republican supermajority in both houses of the kansas legislature now would it? or any anti-tax covenants the legislators may have signed? naw. couldn't be that. must be the democratic governor.

After this budget fiasco, there's no way Sebelius gets elected in Kansas again. Especially not for the Senate seat. That will go to Moran or Tiahrt.

This is why President Obama wants her.


/fark Kansas

RockyMtnMan: /fark Kansas

Carry on, wayward son.

She was a veep contender once

My third greenlight arrived while I slept. It's like Christmas all over again.

Too bad it's a dupe.

Nah, just kidding. Congrats :D

+1, Subby

Now I know why I don't want to run for public office, I'd have no chance in hell in this state.

Kansas is getting IOU's for state tax returns... nothing spells awesome like IOU's for healthcare?

Johann Sibelius Bach?

This headline renewed my faith in humanity - or, at least, my faith in Fark.

I just hope they use version 5. The Ideas Hub would really come in handy for HHS.

MarconiusIII: Johann Sibelius Bach?

I had thought about that, too. Great comic.

And here I thought I was the only one who worried about keeping Sebelius and Sibelius separated in my mind.

+1

Should just have gone with the old favorite.




Why so Sebelius?

Would've laughed out loud for a "finnish his 8th symphony," but a laugh to myself is better than nothing!

I wouldn't vote for Tiahrt under any circumstance. What a right wing prick he is.
