Start-up Politician

© Matt Bors As a political blogger who has started several (tech) companies, I have to admit that this comic is right on. Starting a war and starting a company are eerily similar.

Late Night Political Humor

“Donald Trump is on the show tonight, and I’m not saying security is tight, but the Secret Service just built a giant wall around the building — we had to pay for it!” – Jimmy Fallon “During a Donald Trump rally yesterday, a man was kicked out for yelling, ‘This is boring.’ The man then […]

Open Primary Season!

© Tom Tomorrow As we enter both primary season and awards season, the entertainment industry should give some awards to the political parties and the news media. Like, “most creative use of reality”, and individual awards to Trump for “best leading role in a situation comedy” and the rest of the Republican candidates for “best […]

Justice for Obama?

A common question of presidential candidates is what kind of Supreme Court justice they would appoint. But at a campaign event in Iowa on Tuesday, someone asked Hillary Clinton if she would consider nominating President Obama to the Supreme Court. Laughing in delight, Clinton replied “Wow, what a great idea. Nobody has ever suggested that […]

Late Night Political Humor

“At a rally last night in Vermont, Donald Trump refused to let anyone in that wasn’t a Trump supporter, but several protesters got in anyway. So keep that in mind the next time you listen to the guy whose biggest campaign promise is keeping people from sneaking in.” – Jimmy Fallon “In an interview on […]

Reality, Virtualized

© Berkeley Breathed The bad news is that this presidential race is longer than any previous one in history. At least it is more entertaining than most (well, at least the Republican side). Anyone still think Trump will self destruct? Will Cruz pull ahead, despite the fact that nobody likes him? Will an establishment candidate […]

Late Night Political Humor

“At a rally in New Hampshire, Bernie Sanders mocked Donald Trump for thinking that climate change is a hoax created by the Chinese. So, at this point, most people are starting to feel like Trump is a hoax created by the Chinese.” – Jimmy Fallon “Donald Trump’s wife, Melania, said she was initially attracted to […]

Why I Won’t Vote for Sanders

I love the fact that Bernie Sanders is running for president. Unlike most Democratic politicians he is not embarrassed to be called a liberal. Heck, he’s not even embarrassed to be called a socialist (even though he technically isn’t one). Like some Republican politicians he speaks his mind and doesn’t mince words, and unlike those […]

The Year Obama Had No Fucks to Give

I somehow missed this article in Rolling Stone, titled “2015: The Year Obama Stopped Giving Any F–ks. I won’t even quote from it, because some of the best parts are the photos and video clips. Feel free to go read it and have a good laugh. And if that doesn’t satisfy you, here’s another good […]

Late Night Political Humor

“In a recent interview, Hillary Clinton said that she would investigate UFOs, and said that aliens may have already visited Earth. When he heard that, Trump said, ‘Forget the wall. We need a dome! Just build a huge dome. A huge classy beautiful dome! We’ll make the aliens pay for the dome.’” – Jimmy Fallon […]

Best and Brightest?

© Jim Morin Donald Trump claims he hires the “best and brightest”, but often the record shows otherwise, unless what they are best at included being a con artist. And even if it were true, do we really want a president who is the delegator in chief? That sounds like the job done by Dubya, […]

Late Night Political Humor

“According to a new poll, Donald Trump was the candidate Americans would least want to have as their neighbor. It makes sense, because he’d build a MASSIVE WALL between your yards and make YOU pay for it.” – Jimmy Fallon “Donald Trump said yesterday that if he’s elected, he would ‘probably not talk as much.’ […]

Is Their Sand Glowing Yet?

While the Republican presidential candidates have been talking up a storm about how they would bomb the Islamic State (IS/ISIS/ISIL) back to the stone age and that Obama is too weak, Obama has been quietly, effectively doing something about the Islamic State. He’s been cutting off their sources of income. First we blew up their […]

Colbert Channels Palin

Stephen Colbert tasers his brain so that he can channel the original material girl, after she endorsed Donald Trump with an incoherent stream of unconsciousness. Why is Colbert on such a roll? Because Trump and Palin together are a comedian’s wet dream. UPDATE: Glenn Beck seems to be a bit upset that Palin endorsed Trump: […]

If you can’t Trump him, join him.

The Republican presidential race might have reached a tipping point. Up until now, the GOP establishment has been primarily ignoring Donald Trump – hoping he will go away – or occasionally taking pot shots at him. To their dismay, these shots have completely (and unsurprisingly) backfired, mainly because the environment of anger, racism, and incivility […]
