“It’s opening week at the U.N., ladies and gentlemen. Security is very tight here in New York City. A lot of dictators all over the city. You know what I’ve noticed? Dictators tend to be tiny. Have you noticed this? Kim Jong Il, a tiny little guy. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Another guy like this: Mayor Bloomberg.” […]
Teabagger dream, or nightmare? A BBC comedy with Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie: Is it just me, or are there two insults against Americans in here? The second one is the obvious one, where the policeman asks him to fill out a form (rather then fill in a form, as the British would say) and […]
It didn’t take very long for the conservative Republicans in the SouthEast, who have been yelling a lot lately about how Government is never the answer, to change their tune and beg for government assistance in the wake of widespread flooding. But I resisted posting a story about that, since I hate to hit people […]
“A big show last night, right here on CBS. The annual Emmy Awards television broadcast. What a show that was. My God, I thought we outlawed torture!” – David Letterman “I’m happy to say that once again, ‘The Late Show,’ we were nominated this year, in an unusual category.

“This guy Max Baucus comes out with this bill, it’s everything you would want in a reform bill, except, you know, reform. It is a watered-down, ineffectual blow job to the health insurance industry. No public option, could cost the middle class a lot more, encourages employers to drop coverage. Insurance companies can charge whatever […]
A few years ago, evangelist (and former child star) Kirk Cameron released a video attempting to prove that God exists and created the world just for us humans by pointing out that the common banana fits perfectly into the human hand. Watch it — it is short and (unintentionally) hilarious: Of course, Cameron didn’t mention […]
[A few weeks ago, Political Irony added a discussion forum (click the “Forum” button to the right).

Congress was falling all over themselves to pass a bill punishing ACORN. In fact, they refer to the bill (in the bill itself) as the “Defund ACORN Act”. The bill passed both the House and Senate. There is only one problem with that — bills that punish a single person or organization without a trial […]
“Oh, and of course, there’s that big scandal with A-porn, I mean Acorn. They’re an organization that gets government money to help poor people. Well, now, they’re in a lot of trouble. It seems these two filmmakers went to Acorn’s office posing as a pimp and a prostitute, saying they wanted to buy a house […]
