“President Obama is giving General Motors 60 days to come up with strategy of viability for the American taxpayers’ money. You know what G.M. should have said? ‘Hey, you first.’” – Jay Leno “You know the big story yesterday? President Obama, he goes to the GM people and he says, ‘All right, look, guys, do […]
It looks like Queen Elizabeth and the Obamas are BFF. Or at least Michelle, who broke the centuries-old rule that you never, never, EVER hug the queen — except that the queen made the first move! © Walt Handelsman UPDATE: Obama gave the queen an iPod: © Steve Benson
“President Obama said this week that things will get worse before they get better. That’s something you never hear before the election. ‘Let me tell you, if I’m elected it’s going to get a lot worse.’” – Jay Leno “We’re down to the Final Four now. And by that I mean we’re down to the […]

“Now here’s evidence of actual progress in Iraq. Iraq, as of today, is officially open to tourism. Cut me a slice of that.” – David Letterman “You can tell it’s tourism season in Iraq because today an American had to duck a pair of flip-flops.” – David Letterman “I have a plan to end the […]

Stephen Colbert gives a brilliant response to Fox’s Glenn Beck, who went over the deep end recently, crying repeatedly while longing for the good old days immediately after 9/11: UPDATE: Armchair Generalist explains why this video is necessary viewing: It really is time to stop thinking it’s September 12, 2001, every day. Steven Colbert wears […]

“Hey, you hear about this? Very strange incident at JFK Airport in New York City today. An AIG executive going through security had to empty out all his pockets. You know what fell out?
