Political Humor

I couldn’t think of anything funny to say for today’s post. So…

Political humor pictures are best when passed around. Please just give us a link back to this page.

Hooray the Banks are Rescued

After spending the weekend in the US Treasury basement printing money, Tim Geithner revealed his new bank rescue plan: buy the toxic loans for a trillion dollars.

And by toxic, I mean the same ones we were supposed to buy back in November for $700 billion. That’s  a $300 billion dollar increase by the way for those keeping score.

No wonder AIG and the two FM’s are handing out bonuses. Not only did their employees lose trillions of dollars, but they grew the worth of craptastic assets labeled with one of the most-negative adjectives in the English language by nearly thirty percent in just four months.

Those are the kind of people you want to give retention pay to. Anyone that can increase the value of something “toxic” is a genius. They are  the Johnnie Cochrans of finance.

Wait a minute…he’s dead.

Liberals Not Very Politically Correct Lately

We all know Obama likened his bowling score to that of a Special Olympics athlete. But were you aware Barney Frank topped our Messiah-In-Chief  by calling SCJ Antonin Scalia a homophobe?

“I wouldn’t want it (gay marriage) to go to the United States Supreme Court now because that homophobe Antonin Scalia has too many votes on this current court”

So I guess it is okay now to be politically incorrect. Obama you should wear a helmet instead of a bucket. Barney Frank you fag.

Don’t get mad at me, I’m just following the example of our leaders, the ones we can throw out of office if we so choose.

I’m looking at you Massachusetts.

Farting No Longer Legal

Is this the first step towards cap and trade for Methane? From the news story:

“An eighth-grader was suspended from riding the school bus for three days after being accused of passing gas. The bus driver wrote on a misbehavior form that a 15-year-old teen passing gas on the bus Monday to make the other children laugh, creating a stench so bad that it was difficult to breathe.”

I may be guilty of giving a past girlfriend or four the Dutch Oven but none of them ever died as a result. I think this news item is flatulent in its accuracy but troublesome at the same time, especially when I read this line later in the article:

“A 13-year-old student at a Stuart school was arrested in November after authorities said he broke wind in class.”

Arrested for farting? What kind of world do we live in when passing gas is now a misdemeanor, or worse a felony at some point in the future?

It is a shameful day in America when “carpet bombing” is considered illegal.
