Want Romney But Not Mitt?

  The folks at Shakedown News, with tongue firmly in cheek, suggest “The man who ran security at Woodstock in 1969 … may in fact, know what he’s doing” unlike some of the other clowns running. If you’ve never met Wavy Gravy, then you may suspect he’s just a 60’s counterculture clown. You’d be mostly […]

Late Night Political Humor Without Herman Cain

Our last Late Night Political Humor post focused exclusively on Herman Cain. Today we demonstrate we are able to laugh without Cain. “The people beat Bank of America, who withdrew their $5 debit fee. Instead, the bank is going to replace that with a $60 annual fee.” – Jay Leno “A new poll taken abroad […]

God’s Away On Business

Something is obviously wrong in the God department. Cain, Bachmann, Perry and Santorum all believe God has called on them to run. Apparently, God couldn’t make up his mind after eschewing Gingrich and Paul. I don’t think God even knows Huntsman is running and he figures Romney doesn’t need his help since Mitt is already richer […]

Bark More, Wag Less Occupy Denver

If we want Occupy Wall Street to be the movement our dogs think it is then we should let the dogs hold the leash! Shelby, more person than B of A, represents Occupy Denver in opposition to the farce of corporate personhood Occupy Denver Press Release: “In response to Denver Mayor Michael Hancock’s insistence that […]

Late Night With Herman Cain

I have been reluctant to pile on Cain in a jocular manner about the sexual harassment charges. All sexual harassment claims should be taken very seriously. It takes incredible bravery for any sexual assault victim to step forward and endure embarrassment and humiliation as bad or worse than the original offense. Still, although false accusations […]

Are Your Boxers American Made?

Have you been shopping for underwear lately? If you start checking the labels you’ll find it’s hard to find Made In The USA down there. If you try, you might find made in Canada – OK by me – but most of all it’s made in China and that’s not OK  … and it’s not OH, SC […]

We Weld America Made In China

I purchased online these “WE WELD AMERICA” gloves made by Tillman Co. When they arrived, the fine print on the label said, “MADE IN CHINA”. American products made in China are so ubiquitous that it should be assumed, left unsaid. – Iron Filing

“President Obama has completed his annual physical, and he is in tip top shape. but it doesn’t look like his insurance company is going to pay for it.” –Jay Leno “Congratulations to Joe Biden, whose daughter just got engaged to an ear, nose, and throat doctor. She met the doctor through her father. They met […]

Protect the Integrity of Local Elections

All elections are important but many voters pay scant attention when national offices are not on the ballot. Tomorrow Nov 8 is a good example. City council and school board elections traditionally were non-partisan but in recent decades have become ideological battlegrounds that have tremendous influence on our youth and our future. With less publicity […]

His cholesterol is down, blood pressure down, approval rating down. He’s fit and eats healthy food, and Fox News says that proves he’s not […]

Late Night Political Humor

“Two women have accused Herman Cain of sexually suggestive behavior in the ’90s. He said no. He was just explaining to them his 69-9-9 plan.” – Jay Leno “Herman Cain is having to respond to charges he once sexually harassed women. One German woman kept saying, ‘Nein! Nein! Nein!’” – Conan O’Brien “A Fox reporter […]

Occupy Reality – expectation, disappointment and redemption

After much anticipation, Friday was my first day at Occupy Boston. First impression – disappointment. Yes, I expected it to be a bit messy but the clash between reality and dream can be harsh. Despite the impressive number of tents, perhaps a couple hundred, only a few dozen people showed up for the morning General Assembly. […]

Inevitable?

© Clay Bennett So what do people think? Is Mitt Romney the inevitable winner of the Republican primary, as each flavor-of-the-month candidate becomes a flash in the pan as they crash and burn? Or is Romney just too unacceptable to Republican voters? Stay tuned! © Gary Varvel
