Political Humor

Like the supergroup Chicago once sang, what kind of man would I be if I did not offer some of my predictions for 2008? Unlike the lead singer, I won’t play Russian roulette with my insight into what I think will go down in the next twelve months.

Of course everyone wants to know who I think will be the two finalists for the beauty pageant known as the Presidential campaign. In due time my friends, in due time.

~ Next year, instead of the ball dropping in New York, it will be Dick Clark.

Give the man credit for being a trooper but enough is enough already. The guy talks like he’s trying to yell above the music at a party. I know it was the 100th year they did this, and I am pretty sure Clark has only missed the first few, but it is time to let go.

What happens when Dick finally dies? Do they prop him up like a real-life ‘Weekend at Bernie’s’? I guess we will find out.

~ Ron Paul’s fans will unleash their rage on the other candidates.

I used to like the idea of Ron Paul as president, but he is like that girlfriend that turns out to be a little nutty down the road. The first time she tied you to the bed with handcuffs was all fun and games. But it got old once it was every night for a month. Especially when she brought out the ball gag and an official torture rack from the Medieval period.

I am beginning to think his fandom is similar and probably the reason why I got turned off to him: I am sane.

I guess it is time to tell you who I think will be the next President. Wait, I have a few more predictions first.

~ Barack Obama will not win anyway, so let it go.

Have you been to the South? They don’t have segregation anymore… per se. Technically it is more of a volunteer effort. All I am saying is to try and randomly walk into any waffle house in Georgia. Hope you pick the one for your race or it will be like in the movies where the music stops and the record skips as the entire clientèle stares at you.

~ Mike Huckabee’s failure to look people in the eye will be his undoing.

That looking-at-you-but-not-looking-at-you eye of his just freaks me out. How come everyone who has one of these eye conditions is shifty or shady?

I hadn’t noticed the eye thing until recently, but looking back at the cross commercial, it all makes sense. Two hundred years ago this guy would have been selling us snake oil.

Now I will give away my secret prediction for who will succeed Bush in 2008. Hold on, I have one more to talk about before the big final prediction you have been waiting for.

~ Hugo Chavez will continue to do wacky things.

In 2007 our favorite South American dictator reset the time in Venezuela, re-made the flag, lopped three zeros off the currency and re-introduced a 12.5 cent piece. Expect more nuttiness for 2008.

Humor-Blogs.com does not have any predictions for 2008. Go there anyways because the blogs are funny.
