Political Humor

Time once again for my yearly predictions. Unlike in the past, where I was all over the place I put all my eggs in two baskets for 2011.

That’s right, just two prognostications. It is how I roll these days. That and I couldn’t come up with a third one.

MSNBC will ban FOX News

Thanks to the 2010 ratings, which revealed MSNBC had worse numbers than a Spike TV “Cops” Christmas Day marathon, the official spokes-network for the Obama administration will announce they are banning FOX News.

Unfortunately, Keith Olberman will be faced with a shortage of material for his show and will attempt to quit the network. There will be a huge write-in campaign by his medicated fans to keep him and as a result will be the only talking head on MSNBC allowed to even mention the words “FOX News“.

Palin Derangement Syndrome officially replaces Bush version

After a year where W rehabilitated his public image to the point most people no longer think he was a bad President it will be tough to pin the woes of our society on him in 2012.

The liberals’ Great White Hope is now Sarah Palin. Sure, the left has been in the throes of PDS for two years but always in the shadow of BDS. Now that the latter has been purged, the former will take over the host body of the liberals.

And since Palin is expected by many to run for President in 2012 we should see a massive outbreak of PDS the likes of which we have not seen since the Black Plague.

Help Chris come up with a third prediction in the comments below…

This week’s edition of Political Humor Quick Hits is about deficits, spoiled children, and wasteful spending…

When Will the Deficit Be Obama’s Fault?

My guess is never:

Nine months into the fiscal year, the federal deficit has topped $1 trillion for the first time…The Treasury Department said Monday that the deficit in June totaled $94.3 billion, pushing the total since the budget year started in October to nearly $1.1 trillion.

The problem is the mental disorder that is Liberalism is like AIDS. It breaks down the immune system, leaving the body unable to fight other diseases. In this case the moonbats are clearly in the throes of Bush Derangement Syndrome.

My favorite part of the story is of course the comments like this one:

“And the federal fiscal year started in October, hence Bush. Really, for being all patriotic, you righties seem to never understand how the government works…”

Hmm I thought federal budgets were written and approved by Congress? I know, the President submits his recommendations but it is the responsibility, (and I use that term loosely since the lefties do as well), of Congress to write and pass the thing. Last time I checked, the 2009 budget was written by a Democratic-favored legislative system.

But what do I know about civics?

I am one of those “righties” after all. Anyone have a gun and a bible I can borrow? I misplaced mine.

Red Dress A Lot Like the Golden Goose

From the whiny, spoiled department of the news:

The union that represents flight attendants who worked for Northwest Airlines before it was bought by Delta Air Lines is crying foul over Delta’s failure to offer bigger sizes for its signature red dress uniform designed by Richard Tyler.

But can an employee get a bigger size in other colors?

The red dress currently is only offered up to size 18, though a Delta spokeswoman said the airline offers a range of outfits in other colors and styles up to size 28 that flight attendants can wear.

But I want the red dress! I want it now! I don’t care if it means the costs of lawsuits will be passed on to the consumer! I want it now now now!

Good thing nobody ever thought of suing Willy Wonka or the movie would have ended up as an adventure in litigation.

Surprise! Pennsylvania Government Wasted Money

Who cares if nobody actually uses handicapped ramps?

Wyomissing Borough Council members are questioning why the state is requiring the borough to spend $12,000 to install handicap curb cuts at an intersection that has no sidewalks.

As long as complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act helps citizens feel better on the inside, costs should never be an issue. It is only $12,000 after all.

Since the election, many political blogs have pondered just what the Liberals will do with their incoherent rage once President Bush was no longer the President. The answer has now become clear. The new object of the Liberal Mental Disorder is non other than Rush Limbaugh.

Obama/Soros Radio Attack Ads Use Rush to Target GOP Senators

FEMALE NARRATOR: (dramatic music) Listen to what Rush Limbaugh said about President Obama’s agenda and his jobs package.

RUSH ARCHIVE: I hope he fails.

FEMALE NARRATOR: (dramatic music) The Obama jobs bill overwhelmingly passed the House… But not one Republican voted yes. Every Republican member of the House chose to take Rush Limbaugh’s advice. Every Republican voted with Limbaugh and against creating 4 million new American jobs. We can understand why an extreme partisan like Rush Limbaugh wants President Obama’s jobs program to fail, but the members of Congress elected to represent the citizens in their districts? That’s another matter. Now the Obama plan goes to the Senate, and the question is: Will our senator, John Ensign, side with Rush Limbaugh too?

RUSH ARCHIVE: I hope he fails.

FEMALE NARRATOR: Or will he reject the partisanship and failed economic policies of the past, and stand up for the people of Nevada Call Senator Ensign now at (202) 224-3121 and tell him he represents you…not Rush Limbaugh.

Here’s another ad against Limbaugh from the same faction of Limbaugh Derangement Syndrome patients.

All is well in Liberal La La Land.
