RL Political Humor Quick Hits 20
This week’s edition of Political Humor Quick Hits is about Harry Reid, Indiana Jones, new political parody videos, and dumb doll ideas…
Reid Must Be Smoking Some Good Stuff
Last week Harry Reid said the media was to blame for the August health care reform deadline:
Senate Democratic leaders on Thursday blamed Capitol Hill media for setting an August deadline for health reform and Republicans for blocking the bill’s progress.
“That is a deadline that you created,” Reid told a group of about 75 reporters.
Apparently Congress’ health care plan includes prescriptions for medical marijuana. How else does one explain Harry’s short-term memory loss?
Reid even elaborated on his accusation that Barack “Teflon” Obama had nothing to do with the deadline:
“Dude I could really go for some Doritos. Hey man you ever wonder if Jesus is made out of pancakes?”
Puff puff give Reid! Share with the rest of us so we can forget anything Obama says or does too!
If this lapse in memory is not due to the chronic however, there can only be one other explanation: this is Reid’s Three Dog Night moment…
Real Life Indiana Jones
Sometimes truth beats fiction. Well sort of:
Digging for buried treasure in the Gobi Desert sounds like the opening scene of an Indiana Jones film. For Austrian-born Michael Eisenriegler, it was a real-life adventure.
The 40-year-old amateur archaeologist was in the Gobi over the weekend…less than an hour of digging revealed two crates filled with priceless treasure, including rare manuscripts, Buddhist statues and clothing.
Within minutes the Nazis showed up however, and Eidenriegler, Marion, and Short-Round narrowly avoided capture with an escape by plane.
Auto Tune the News Rocks
Look out JibJab, you have some competition and its name is Auto Tune the News. This is their latest video just released Monday about race relations, a broke government, and texting while driving.
I think their recent video, #6 was their best one so far. This is like comparing the episodes of your favorite television show though. All are good.
Moxie Girlz Worst Doll Idea Ever
Mattel introduced their new doll line last week:
MGA is rolling out a new line of dolls called Moxie Girlz as Mattel Inc. plans to take over MGA’s former marquee product, the saucy Bratz dolls, following a four-year legal struggle.
Moxie? Really? Is the best they could come up with? When I think of moxie I think of crappy-tasting soda or the 1920’s, a decade most adults alive do not remember.
MGA explains more about the product line:
This new line of toys will signify today’s young girl. The play sets will include a vaudeville stage, a speakeasy, talkies, and also flagpoles to set world records on. When you pull the string, the dolls say catch-phrases like “Look at the gams on me!, “Oh applesauce!” and “Playing with you is the cat’s meow!”
Looks like the marketing people are frigging mailing it in these days.

In a world where the most popular music is a stolen tune from a previous generation set to a rap rythm, the most popular movies are remakes, sequels, or tv show/comic book adaptations, should anyone really be suprised that a doll with depression era dressing and phrases would be the newest craze in the post capitolism Amerika? There isn’t an original thought in all of the free world now, apparently, and we are just witnessing the return of “The Grapes of Wrath”.

In my defense the face in the Reid photoshopped pic matches the original as far as scale. The hippie had a really big face.

Of course, my comment about the lack of original thought does not include the brilliant thinkers involved in, supporting and browsing the halls of radioactive liberty.

Eric I cannot speak for them but I think I convey Fiar’s and Les’ thoughts when I say that we do not think you meant we were unoriginal.
If we were shallow moonbats who had no self-esteem we would be worried hehe.
Thank you for the kind words as well. Always nice to hear we succeed in our attempt to bring original political humor to the internet. We try very hard but it is not often we get to hear that we are making good on our efforts.
