Political Humor

Unfortunately, not everyone in the world realizes yet that RadioactiveLiberty.com is the Planet’s Best Political Humor. The good news is that Google finally seems to have realized that when it comes to conservative political humor, About.com sucks a dirty hippie when compared to us.

There are those who say that gloating is poor form. But those people probably just don’t have anything worth gloating about. How else is everyone supposed to know that we are better than them, unless we remind them every chance we get?

They could be happily drifting along, falsely believing that we are equals. So, I say to you, it is our patriotic duty to taunt the losers when we are the winners. Especially when those losers are a multi-million dollar corporation, and we’re just a blog with a lazy as Hell owner.

Here you see a query for conservative political humor as entered into Scroogle.Org. The reason for using Scroogle is that Google has a tendency to track your history, and notice the sites you click through to. In other words, Google knows I am partial to RadioactiveLiberty.com, and will rank it higher for queries just because **I** am the one running those searches.

This can result in erroneous results. Scroogle goes directly through the Google data center, without adding results altering personalizations.

I would like to thank everyone who has contributed over the years to help make this happen. Especially Chris and Les, since they do all the work. Good news guys! I had cut your pay due to the financial crisis, but I’m bumping you back up to your original pay grade. What’s a 50% increase over zero?

Also, thanks to anyone that has ever linked the site, subscribed, posted links to Facebook or other social media channels, or done anything else to bring in more visitors.

The Top 10 Political Humor Posts of 2009 (so far)

Since the first of January, 2009 until August 21, 2009, the photoshopped hot Sarah Palin Pictures from Les has brought in the most traffic. Beating out the number of visits to the home page plus the next two single pages combined. Les is by far, the best political humor image artist out there.

My facts on global warming satire continues to be one of the most visited posts on the site, and better yet, is a never-ending source of agitation for Global Warming Doomsday Cult believers.

There still appears to be no significant difference between Republicans and Democrats.

However, people still worship Obama, and want to waste their money on the Obama Presidential Coin Collection.

You might not make any green, but you can learn how to be more “Green” as a dirty hippie offers these tips on how to save the planet.

Les gets an exclusive photoshop of an old man checking out Sarah Palin in a Wonder Woman outfit.

Am I the only one getting sick of all the Les James posts in this roundup? Here he is… again with some economic stimulus jokes, including Obama talking out of his ass.

Many people seem to want to know what will make the world a better place. I provide one possible answer.

Les wrote some sort of infomercial or other about Billy Mays endorsing an Obama product of some sort. Whatever. I’m stating to get sick of this Les guy by now.

Yay me! Rounding out the top 10 from January to late August is an Obama Hope and Change joke.

Two more posts that have been strong over the last month, but are a little new to make the yearly top 10 are the 2009 Portsmouth NH Health Care Town Hall Protests from Beat Reporter Chris Cameron, and a satire on Obama Work at Home Government Jobs Programs, by me, because I am awesome. (Who threw that extra link in there?)

Here’s something that can be a fun time waster.

I was playing with the Google AdWords Keyword Tool that I learned about from How To Make Your Blog More Comprehensive Through Keyword Research on Performancing.com. The purpose of the tool is supposed to be to help you create an advertising campaign through Google’s AdWords, by helping you select relevant keywords.

I’m familiar with other keyword tools, such as the Free WordTracker Keyword tool. WordTracker allows you to enter a keyword. Then it will tell you variations on that keyword, and how many times it gets searched.

The AdWords tool does the same thing, but also indicates the “competitiveness” of the keyword. That let’s you know which ones cost more to buy for an ad campaign, and which ones cost less. You could also use it for the reverse, and build a site, post, or webpage based on this information.

But that would be using the keyword tools for profit. Here’s the fun part. The Adwords tool lets you put in the URL of your site, and calculates the keywords and keyword derivatives based on what it finds on your page. Look to the left. You’ll see that it says

How would you like to generate keyword ideas?

By default it has Descriptive words or phrases checked off. Switch the selection to Website content and the box to the right of that will switch to one that has the http:// part of a web address already filled in. Put in the URL of your site, click the Get Keyword Ideas button, and wait a minute.

When I put in the URL for Humor Blogging, it gave me Humor and many derivatives, and Blogging, plus various derivatives. Then there were some lesser keywords, like business blog, funny, funny jokes, and jokes. Pretty straightforward. Nothing unexpected.

When I put in the URL for Radioactive Liberty, that’s when it got fun. Apparently Radioactive Liberty is primarily about Santa Claus, Santa, Merry Christmas, Letter to Santa, Argument, Prediction and Christmas. It’s supposed to be about political humor!

I didn’t realize we were so festive with Christmas Cheer. It actually comes up with a pretty extensive list, so I won’t name even all of the top level words it gave me. It did eventually mention Bush, Election, Presidential Election, and Political Blogs.

Since this isn’t really an SEO (Search Engine Optimization) blog, I’m pretty sure many of you are not highly focused on targeting a specific keyword to dominate, so I bet you will have as wildly unexpected results as I did for this site.

Try it out, and offer your top results in the comments.
