Late Night Political Humor

“Tonight is the first Republican debate over on Fox News. The moderator, Chris Wallace, said there’s ‘so doggone many’ candidates, and that he planned on asking them some ‘doozies’. He would’ve said more but he had to go back to the soda shop he works at in 1954.” – Jimmy Fallon “Tonight was the first […]

Which means Donald Trump’s hair and makeup team should be getting started right about now.” – Jimmy Fallon “The debate rules state that the highest-polling candidate is given the middle podium, which means Donald Trump will be center stage tomorrow night.

Back to Torture?

Jeb Bush has again said that (if he is elected president) that there may be occasions when he would authorize the use of brutal interrogation techniques in order to keep the country safe. This, despite the fact that the 2014 Senate report, which reviewed the CIA records, concluded that the use of torture “enhanced interrogation […]

The Cold War is Over

Today, three former Marines, the same men who lowered the American flag for the last time in Havana in 1961, raised the flag for the first time in 54 years in Cuba. The final remnant of the Cold War is gone, and good riddance. Now we just have to end the stupid US embargo, which […]

Well Oiled

The price of oil just dropped to a 6 year low, $43.08 a barrel. This was caused by a surge in output. Much of the added output was from Iran, and was made possible by the expected approval of the proposed nuclear deal. Sanctions have long restricted Iran’s allowed oil output. So Republicans opposing the […]

Then Americans looked at the other candidates and said, ‘He can’t be worse than DOZE nuts.’” – Jimmy Fallon “Donald Trump […]
