Out: ‘US Government’ — In: ‘Federal Family’

By Doug Powers  •  August 29, 2011 03:44 PM

**Written by Doug Powers

“The good hands people” and “like a good neighbor” were already taken, so it was the next obvious choice:

But before Irene fizzled, the Obama White House wanted to make sure that Irene was no Katrina and that, in fact, the president and his aides would be seen in compassionate command of the situation.

Hence the introduction of what may be the most condescending euphemism for the national government in its long history of condescending euphemizing: “federal family.”

This new phrase was supposed to, Power Play supposes, make anxious East Coasters feel the love of a caring federal government — tender squeeze from the Department of Homeland Security, a gentle embrace from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The phrase was a centrally distributed talking point, appearing in op-eds, press releases and statements from across the administration.

So keep in mind that even if the storm is a category 1, you can expect a caring category 5 embrace from your federal family:

null
*****

If my “family” was $14 trillion in debt I’d put myself up for adoption. Oh, and the “federal family” member who would have normally caught the spelling error in “preperations” was out tending to family, so we can forgive that oversight.

This has helped soften the image of the federal government to such a degree that the IRS is now considering referring to themselves as America’s “little audit buddies.”

    I have the right to tell my deadbeat biological relatives “NO” when they ask for more money.

    I think I should be able to do the same for my deadbeat Federal relatives, too, yes?

    OK, you’re in da family. You wanna stay healthy?

    1. Never “rat out” any family member. Never divulge any family secrets. Even if threatened by torture or death.

    2. Obey orders, no matter what.

    3. Provide assistance to any other respected or befriended family faction.

    4. Any attacks on family members must be avenged. “An attack on one is an attack on all.”

    5. Avoid contact with the authorities.

    Keep your mouth shut and your eyes open kid and you’ll do good.

    Being referred to as a family reminds me of the story of a news reporter interviewing a Czech shortly after the Soviet invasion in 1968. He was asked if he considered the Soviets as “friends” or as “brothers”. The journalist was quite impressed when the citizen said the Soviets were like brothers, but then the citizen went on to clarify “We get to choose our friends.”

    Use of the word “family” seems to fall into the same category.

    The administration, coordinated through FEMA, is committed to bringing all of the resources of the federal family to bear to support the states and territories that have already been affected by Hurricane/Tropical Storm Irene and the states that are preparing for the storm.

    You’re a bit late to the party. The ‘Family Feud’ has been going on for decades!

    It’s just like liberals to ‘change the language’ to suit their agenda. I didn’t get along with a lot of my blood family members and I don’t know why the US GOVERNMENT would think I would get along any better with FEDERAL FAMILY members.

    I would disown the deadbeats and kick their butts out into the blowing snow and bitter cold. I have no time for people that don’t pull their weight. But, that’s just me!

    Where is O’Mulligan with the bankrupting of coal companies when you need him? Cut the power (in more ways than one) to DC…. Brown outs, black outs, I don’t care… just do it! Where’s Irene when you need her? Slackin’ at Mawtha’s Vin Yard I would suspect.

    Doug Powers: “This has helped soften the image of the federal government to such a degree that the IRS is now considering referring to themselves as America’s “little audit buddies.””

    Reminds of the Skipper addressing Gilligan as “little Buddy”.

    And the American taxpayer is treated like the red-headed stepchild.

    There’s a familial ovine analogy that could be made here, but you’re not allowed to think it because you might be labeled as…something.

    If we have to invite Crazy Uncle Plugs for Thanksgiving…could we make him sit at the kiddie table?

    Do you really want the kids learning that Thanksgiving is a big “F”ing deal from Uncle Plugs?

    I didn’t think so.

    So, is that why the government thinks it can vaccinate our kids any time they want, and let them get abortions without parental consent? Cause we are just one big happy family? I’m taking my immediate family and moving…perhaps to a witness protection program so the federal family can’t find us!

    Both Daffy and Sylvester used the phrase, but it became Sylvester’s signature line. Sorry to get precise and factual…now back to our usual Loony Tune behavior.

    Considering that both were voiced by Mel Blanc. They were the same voice, only Daffy was higher pitched and faster.

    Stuff like this makes me wish there had been a cat5 hurricane so that people could see the governemnt can not take care of the situation. Obama would have many of the same troubles Bush had with Katrina, if not more because of the big cities involved.

    Obama can now say, look at how good I did and if this was a cat 5, look at how good I would have been.

    Similar to jobs saved. Obama has done great at these non events that nobody can dispute because they never happened. Plus he did a great job of keeping us out of that World War with Mexico. Whew. That was a close one. Thanks Obama. You are great.

    Lisp is such a cruel word, anyway.

    People with a lisp can’t say it.

    Be it the the speech impediment or compute language, it’s indecipherable either way.
