Political Humor

Many people are confused over one of the most important issues of our time, and that issue is President Obama and his propensity for getting a bucket stuck on his head. Some are even unfamiliar with the concept.

In a recent poll that I just made up, 32.5% of American citizens are not even aware that Obama has a bucket stuck on his head. 52% didn’t care, so they voted for him.

The Obama-Bucket-Head conundrum was first observed by Frank J. of IMAO.US Right Wing Humor. He explains the phenomenon thusly:

Obama is an intellectual, so whenever he sees a bucket he is inevitably going to ponder whether his head would fit inside it. To satiate his academic curiosity, he will try putting the bucket on his head and often get it stuck. Source.

I would have opted with Ockhams’ Razor, which would state that the simplest explanation is the most likely. In other words, Obama has a bucket stuck on his head because he is stupid. Since Frank’s explanation does not seem to satisfy me, and it seems to be in opposition to my theory, I have come up with the top ten reasons that Obama has his head stuck in a bucket.

10. He heard Tim Geithner’s back taxes were in there.

9. Michelle Obama got mad and slammed it on his head in one of her she-hulk rages.

8. He was told that Arlen Specter‘s conservative principles were in the bottom.

7. He was informed that Colin Powell‘s conservative credentials were in there.

6. The name of an honest Cabinet candidate was supposed to be in the bucket.

5. Joe Biden’s last remaining real hair follicle fell in and he was trying to save it.

4. His real birth certificate was there and he needed to remove it to securely shred it.

3. An advisor told him the last remaining copy of the 2nd Amendment was in the bucket.

2. He just really gets a kick out of putting on the bucket and saying “Luke. I am your father.”

1. He heard the economic recovery was in there. Wait, that’s the reason his head is stuck in the toilet.

What other reasons do you have?

Today’s installment of Political Humor Quick Hits is about the Sun, the smartest VP inVegas, and the UK travel ban.

Dumbest Thing Ever Said about the Sun

The sun is in a cooling period which has real scientists concerned the warming is over and pseudo-scientists worried their funding will dry up:

“The sun is the least active it’s been in decades and the dimmest in a hundred years. The lull is causing some scientists to recall the Little Ice Age, an unusual cold spell in Europe and North America, which lasted from about 1300 to 1850.”

The AGW people, however are pulling out all the stops to try and hold onto their hack science jobs.

Mike Lockwood, a solar terrestrial physicist at the University of Southampton in the U.K is “engaged in what they call ‘preemptive denial’ of a solar minimum leading to global cooling“:

“Even if the current solar lull is the beginning of a prolonged quiet, the scientists say, the star’s effects on climate will pale in contrast with the influence of human-made greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2).”

I can’t blame Mike for trying so hard to sell fiction in order to keep his cushy position. It must be difficult to transition from academia into the Dreaded Private Sector, especially when one is only in the denial stage of grief.

Beautiful isn’t it?

UK Travel Ban Reminder of Publicity and the Media

There’s no such thing as bad publicity unless they spell your name wrong. Isn’t that right Mike Guzofsky?

“The (British) government published a blacklist on Tuesday of people recently banned from the country including a Hamas lawmaker and a Jewish extremist, as well as anti-gay protestors and a far-right US talk show host.”

People such as:

“Hamas MP Yunis Al-Astal, Jewish extremist Mike Guzovsky, former Ku Klux Klan leader Stephen Donald Black and neo-Nazi Erich Gliebe are also on the list, as is controversial radio host Michael Alan Weiner, also known as Michael Savage.”

It’s not Guzovsky, it’s Guzofsky.

I’m sure the AP didn’t mean to misspell his name like they didn’t also mean to use the derogatory term “homophobic” in a news story describing preacher Fred Phelps, who is most likely on the list for being anti-Swedish.

Home Secretary Jacqui Smith, Britain’s Janet Napolitano explains why she’s putting her pedicured foot down on this issue:

Smith said: “The government opposes extremism in all its forms and I am determined to stop those who want to spread extremism, hatred and violent messages in our communities from coming to our country.”

This week’s Political Humor Quick Hits looks at pigs, pointing, and protesting…

No Need to Freak Out about Pig Flu

The Pig Flu is nothing to worry about.

I know that the Baby Boomers are retiring and a current baby boom is underway, which puts about 1/3 of all Americans right in the wheelhouse of a pandemic.

Do not be concerned however. In the 1918 pandemic healthy adults were dying more often than infants and old people.

See? Everything will be just fine.

We also have a solid, secure border with Mexico and can stop anyone from crossing over illegally, especially those infected with pig flu.

So relax everyone. Things are going to be okay. Do not panic.

After all, we do not want a repeat of what happened on that fateful day at the country club swimming pool back in the 1970′s do we?

Pointing Politicians

Growing up, I was told that pointing at people is impolite so it is confusing why so many politicians are doing so much of it.

Come on Ted you are one of the beautiful people. I know it was your birthday bash and you got a Profile in Courage Award and all that but where are your manners?

You know better.

Hell, even your wife Vicky did a wave. A really weird one, but still it was not pointing.

Obama likes to let others do the pointing for him. Easier to deflect blame that way and keep high approval numbers.

During the 2008 Campaign John McCain pointed to a better future as President. Republican Lite? No thanks said the voters.

I Know Times are Tough But…

Is this really the right way to go about a protest over unpaid wages?

“A Serbian union official who chopped off his finger and ate it in a protest over wages that in some cases have not been paid in years, said Monday he did it to show how desperate he and other workers were.

‘ “We, the workers have nothing to eat, we had to seek some sort of alternative food and I gave them an example,” Zoran Bulatovic told Reuters. “It hurt like hell.” ‘

Not only did he cut off his own finger with a hacksaw and ate it but it wasn’t even his idea!

“Bulatovic said he decided to act after his deputy, “a single mother of three, was the first to say she would cut off her finger. I could not allow her to do that,” he said.”

Why cut off your own finger when you can get your boss to do it instead? That deputy, she is one smart cookie.

Bulatovic, well he’s only got nine more fingers to negotiate with so he better hope management doesn’t hold out too long.

I’ll give him credit for going far beyond what any union leader would have done in this country though. That deserves props and I’d like to shake his hand some day.

No, the other hand please.
