Political Humor

According to the Wall Street Journal

Forces loyal to Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker on Thursday struck back against protesters who have risen up in cities close to the capital of Madison. The chaos continues in the world’s largest cheese exporter, roiling financial markets and sending cheddar to two-year highs.

Pro-Walker forces have attacked an area where many pro-union demonstrators had taken refuge, while also opening fire on others. The assaults are aimed at pushing back a rebellion that has moved closer to Walker’s bastion in Madison, Wi.

It seems I read that wrong. It turns out that it’s supposed to say “Ghadaffi” where it says “Walker,” and “Tripoli” where it says “Madison.”

I’ve heard so much about how Gov. Walker is exactly like Hitler that I must have been confused.

My bad.

Welcome to Radioactive Liberty’s first-ever Open Thread where I start us off with a picture and a topic and you roll with it in the comments below.

The topic today is the Egypt protests and their penchant for shoes in their defiance.

Have at it…

(If you are wondering where the all your shoes thing came from it is a parody of the all your base are belong to us meme.)

“Do either of you know why our party lost the recent midterm elections?” Barack Obama bellowed from his desk at the two advisers seated on the couch nearby.

“A wave sir.” Adviser One replied.

“What have I told you about using that word to describe an obvious setback?”

“Sorry sir.” Adviser Two said.

Where was I?” Obama turned his chair around and gazed out the window of the Oval Office. “Oh, yes the reason. We missed a special interest group.”

Adviser Two furiously rifled through the pile of papers in his folders. “Sir, I can’t find a demo we did not target. We got the gay vote, the Black vote, the illegal alien vote, the Hispanic vote, the women’s vote.”

“I think I see where he’s going with this Adviser Two.” Adviser One said. “We missed the Black Hispanic lesbian illegal alien segment.”

“No you idiots!” Obama spun back around in his chair and slammed his fist on the desk. “Do I have to do all the thinking around here? White heterosexual males.”

“Straight white men sir?”

“Exactly!” Obama smiled. “Now we’re talking.”

“But isn’t that demographic pretty much the Republican party and most of the Independents?” Adviser Two said.

Adviser One chimed in “And most of them would never vote for Democrats.”

“And that is why we lost.” Obama said. “So, I am signing an executive order making the first Monday in June ‘White Heterosexual Male Day’.”

“A holiday for straight white men?” Adviser One asked. “Won’t the minority demos be upset that we gave a holiday to the majority?”

“Again, do I have to do the thinking for you two? Votes…duh!”

“I’m One sir.” Adviser One pointed with his thumb to his left. “He’s Two.”

“Whatever.” Obama rubbed his chin. “We need to include something about white men swearing terse-like too.”

“What like sir?”

“Terse.” Obama sighed again. “Terse as in short, as in my temper! Do I always have to be the smartest guy in the room? ”

“Sir I think it’s time for a smoke break.”

“Good idea.”
