“The hurricane cleanup seems worse than we thought. President Obama came to New Jersey. Chris Christie invited him to come in, and they put politics aside to get New Jersey up and running as soon as possible. And then they had lunch together and President Obama gained 10 pounds.” – David Letterman “Today Rush Limbaugh […]
One of the few interesting things I heard while watching election coverage last night was the observation that this was the first presidential election in our country’s history where none of the main contenders for president and vice-president were white protestants. Obama is the only protestant, but is not white. Romney is white, but a […]

A few months ago, everyone predicted the GOP would win a majority in the Senate. Instead, the unthinkable happened and Dems actually gained in the Senate. They also gained around ten seats in the House. Gay marriage has been on various state ballots 33 times, and always lost. Until now. Last night four states approved […]
The conservative organization “True the Vote” was trying to place election observers at precincts in central Ohio, mainly “focusing on African American districts”. But the local election board discovered that they had forged the candidate signatures that are required to allow observers to gain access to polling stations. One election board member said he was […]
Created by Sarah Sophie Flicker. Amazing and ironic to think that Lesley Gore originally created this hit back in 1964. And is that Carrie Brownstein of Portlandia at 1:38? It is! Also Lena Dunham, Alexa Chung, Miranda July, Tavi Gevinson, and others. Full list here. For more information about this video, see this, or this.
Ok, so you want to know who wins the election, but you don’t want to be glued to the media all day. Here’s your guide to the important events that will determine the outcome. The only problem I see is that they give only closing time for the polls. In some states, it could take […]

“The presidential race continues. Did you forget about that for a few days? Maybe the only good thing about the hurricane is that we forgot about the presidential race.” – David Letterman “Mitt Romney resumed campaigning today. He was visiting those hardest hit by the storm, and that would be swing-state Latinos.” – David Letterman […]
What I find ironic about all this is that even though Mitt Romney claims to be a good businessman, even businesses are waking up to the fact that they have to do something about climate change. Take the recent cover article from Bloomberg Businessweek, which quotes an insurance company warning that there has been “a […]
One of my favorite sites, Electoral-vote.com, has two posts that provide some perspective on the election. In the first one, it seems like some conservatives (including the editor of Red State and none other than Karl Rove) have apparently seen the writing on the wall and are not waiting to make excuses for Romney’s loss […]
“Everybody’s mind is on Hurricane Sandy. The worst is over. Now people are discussing the cause. Sources say that it was partly caused by global warming. Meanwhile, Fox News said it was caused by two men kissing in Central Park.” – Conan O’Brien “Economic losses could reach $20 billion. And most of that is in […]
After repeatedly being bugged about this by readers, I finally got around to fixing it so that posts to Political Irony are (again) submitted to Facebook. So you can now go to the Political Irony Facebook page and “like” it. Posting to Facebook used to work, but Facebook keeps changing things and I got tired […]
