25 Funny Signs: Rally To Restore Sanity And Or Fear

Check out some good political humor from the funny activists who attended the rally.







From Denny:  What started as just a funny segment on The Daily Show grew into an actual rally that drew over 214,000 people. Glenn Beck's Fox News conservative August rally where he tried to compare himself to Jesus Christ and Martin Luther King only drew 85,000. The good news? Strong minds outnumber weak minds at political rallies in America. Well, that's one to celebrate.



There are a gazillion photos circulating the web from this funny rally that comedians Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert put together on the fly when they realized people really did want to attend an actual rally in Washington.

Late Nite Jokes, Funny Videos, Post Midterm Predictions - 2 Nov 2010

Comics have fun lampooning the campaign process. Get Dennys Predictions for what happens next after the 2010 election.







From Denny: What an election day for this midterm! I saw a large turnout here in Louisiana at my voting precinct. Most of them were Democrats and Independents. At first I was heartened to see so many people out in force in an off year election. Then I looked at their faces and saw that expression. You know the one: It's the "throw the baby out with the bath water" expression. Everyone came out to vote. Most came out to vote against every Democrat just to teach the party a lesson that to ignore your base is at your own peril. Quit with the corporate politician attitude and start governing. Or better yet: "We lose our jobs so now you lose yours."

Friday Lite: Funny Elvira Spoofs I Am Not A Witch Ad

Where Halloween humor meets political humor in America.







From Denny:  Just in time for the funny Halloween season! We have a maybe former or maybe now witch running for the Vice President's former Senate seat in Delaware. Can American politics get any stranger? Christine O'Donnell is the current darling of the boistrous Tea Party.

Roundup of Late Nite Jokes and Videos - 18 Oct 2010

Check out this week's late night jokes, latest cartoons, funniest video clips from Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart.







From Denny: Do these guys get any funnier? Well, our politics of late have gone from sad to funny to bizarre to laugh out loud funny - giving the late night comedians plenty of joke material.



Who knew a witch would run for the Senate? Who knew loud hypocritcal Tea Party wingnuts could get any traction with voters? The mainstream political parties of the Republicans and the Democrats had better get off the corporate milk nipples and start taking care of the people. Get down to really governing instead of worrying about staying in office for your own welfare.

It's the same policy we have in Congress. Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer stopped speaking during an interview and stared blankly at the camera for 30 seconds. The good news is, she's now eligible to be governor of Alaska. President Obama will be laying out a new economic plan. Apparently, we had an old economic plan.

A teacher has been jailed for six months for assigning her students masturbation as homework. What is happening to our education system? Remember when teachers cared enough to have sex with students personally. President Obama is now trying for peace in the Middle East using a two state solution. I believe the two states are denial and delusion. Last night in only his second Oval Office address, President Obama announced the end of Operational Iraqi Freedom. He said we have given the Iraqis a Western-style government. Well, we certainly have, haven't we? Their economy is in shambles, their Congress is corrupt, the country is broke, welcome aboard! Before President Obama's address, he called former President George W. Bush. I'm not saying the economy is bad, but he called collect. I guess they had a pretty cordial conversation. President Bush said for the last 19 months, he's been relaxing and playing golf. President Obama said, 'You too?' Jerry Holbert President Obama said that too many Americans are struggling to find jobs. You know what these Americans are going to be called? Democrats. President Obama was in New Orleans for the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. Halfway through his speech, FEMA finally showed up. President Obama said he can't walk around with his birth certificate plastered on his forehead. Apparently he was reacting to new polls that show 1 in 5 Kenyans now believe he was born in Hawaii. Congress is very upset with Roger Clemens because they feel like they were lied to. Good! Now they know how we feel.

But he White House thinks that strong economic sanctions will bring them to their knees, raise unemployment, and cause their factories to close – the same way those economic sanctions worked right here.President Obama was in Cleveland pitching his latest economic plan. He picked Cleveland because those are the Browns fans, and in September, they'll believe anything.There was one awkward moment when the speech ended at lunch time. 9.6 percent of the people had no job to go back to.President Obama has introduced a $50 billion plan to rebuild the nation's infrastructure.

Whenever Washington talks about shovel-ready jobs, get your shovel ready.U.S. commanders in Afghanistan are ending their zero-tolerance policy on corruption and allowing local officials who are on our side to be 'moderately' corrupt.

Remember when teachers cared enough to have sex with students personally.Lisa Benson From Jimmy Fallon: It's rumored that White House gatecrasher Michaele Salahi is going to pose nude in Playboy. Salahi said her main motivation for posing in Playboy is the fact that no one's invited her to. At the White House yesterday, President Obama told Israelis and Palestinians to reach a peace deal because they might not get another chance soon. That's not really a peace plan. That's how you get a 5-year-old to use the bathroom.According to a new poll, Levi Johnston now has lower approval ratings than John Edwards. Levy said he is disappointed with his low approval ratings and will do everything he can to knock them up.Merriam-Webster says that Sarah Palin's made-up word 'refudiate' was the most searched word of the summer. But no matter how hard they tried, Palin's supporters couldn't find the word in the Definitionary or the Wordasaurus. It's rumored that White House gatecrasher Michaele Salahi is going to pose nude in Playboy. Salahi said her main motivation for posing in Playboy is the fact that no one's invited her to.Bruce Beattie From David Letterman: Mayor Bloomberg may join President Obama's administration. If he does, it will cost about $3 million. They'll have to lower every door knob in the place. Hillary Clinton is denying rumors that she will replace Joe Biden as the Vice President in 2012. It's fun to have a Clinton denying stuff again. Jerry Holbert David Letterman's "Top Ten Things Never Before Said In An Oval Office Address" 10. "Gotta keep this short because I'm going on another vacation." 9. "Watch how fast I can spin in my chair . . . Wee!" 8. "Who wants Justin Bieber tickets?" 7. "Tonight's Oval Office address has been brought to you by Jimmy Dean Pure Pork Sausages." 6. "Kneel before General Zod!" 5. "Now I'd like to share a poignant story about Frank Sinatra" 4. "Earlier today I met with Vice President, Secretary of State, and Late Show audio technician Tom Herrmann." 3. "CAA sent over lunch. There are steaks and sandwiches in the conference room." 2.

This is his sixth vacation. He’ll have plenty of time for vacation when his one term is up. They're vacationing at the beach. He's down there with Snooki, Jwoww, the The Situation. President Obama could not wait to get on vacation. As soon as the plane landed, he grabbed a couple beers and slid down the emergency slide. Mayor Bloomberg may join President Obama's administration. If he does, it will cost about $3 million. They'll have to lower every door knob in the place.President Obama gave a big speech on the economy on Labor Day. He saw his shadow, so we'll have six more weeks of recession.Bruce Beattie From Craig Ferguson: The first ads for medical marijuana have started airing on television in California. The ads are quite expensive. It costs a lot of money to buy 30 seconds during 'Spongebob Squarepants.' The Department of Labor has launched a new website to help unemployed Americans. President Obama said the website is amazing and he can't wait to check it out in a few years. The guy that tried to destroy David Letterman was let out of prison today. I was like, 'Really? Jay Leno was in prison?' I just got back from vacation. I went on vacation the same time as President Obama. We both had to get away from it all and not do anything of significance. And now we are back and still not doing anything of significance. President Obama is trying to back the Republicans into a corner by paying for tax cuts for small businesses with tax hikes on big business. It's like that old trick when you take two balls and throw one in the air to distract your opponent and throw the other one right at his chest. That's right, I can explain abstract fiscal policy using analogies about balls. Tomorrow night we will discuss trickle-down economics.I'm not a political expert, but I think going after the rich is a good idea in an election year, or any other year for that matter. Because let's face it, rich people are bastards. Even rich people would agree with that. They're like, 'It's true, now hand me another golden sausage.'So far rich people have been very quiet about the possibility of getting taxes raised on them, but that doesn't mean they won't get mad about it, it just means they don't know about it. Because it takes a while for bad news to reach a rich person. First their accountant has to tell the butler, who has to tell the servant, who wouldn't dare interrupt their game of croquet.The new taxes are going to put rich people in a very tough spot. Paris Hilton may have to carry her own cocaine. Trump may have to fire the guy who trims that thing on his head. Warren Buffet may have to move in with his cousin Jimmy Buffet.The first ads for medical marijuana have started airing on television in California. The ads are quite expensive. It costs a lot of money to buy 30 seconds during 'Spongebob Squarepants.'Chip Bok From Jimmy Kimmel: Rodney King has announced that he will marry one of the jurors from the trial that awarded him millions of dollars from the city of Los Angeles. If Judge Ito doesn't preside over this, there's something wrong with this town. Florida Pastor Terry Jones originally planned to burn the Koran tomorrow, then yesterday he called it off because he believed he made a deal with an Imam to stop the plan to build a Mosque near Ground Zero. The Imam said that wasn’t true, he agreed to no such thing. Then Pastor Jones said he was lied to and the burning was back on. This guy is unbelievable. He’s like the Brett Favre of burning books.Rodney King has announced that he will marry one of the jurors from the trial that awarded him millions of dollars from the city of Los Angeles. If Judge Ito doesn't preside over this, there's something wrong with this town.Jeff Stahler Bill Day*** THANKS for visiting, feel welcome to drop a comment or opinion, enjoy bookmarking this post on your favorite social site, a big shout out to awesome current subscribers – and if you are new to this blog, please subscribe in a reader or by email updates! *** Come by for a visit and check out my other blogs:The Social Poets - news, politicsThe Soul Calendar - science, astronomy, psychologyVisual Insights - photos, art, musicBeautiful Illustrated Quotations - spiritual quotes, philosophyPoems From A Spiritual Heart - poetryThe Healing Waters - health newsDennys People Watching - people in the newsDennys Food and RecipesDennys Funny Quotes - humor

Funny Video: Colbert Mocks Beck On His Restore Honor Rally

Only Colbert has the truthful tongue to whiplash Glenn Beck's bizarre arrogance with just the right touch of comedic art and campy irreverence.





From Denny: Talk about strange is as strange does. Glenn Beck decided to make a play for cult leader and martyr status by giving a speech on the same date (28 August) and same place on the Lincoln steps as the famous Dr. Martin Luther King did with his "I Have A Dream" speech. Looks like Beck had visions of grandeur.

Colbert: Besides the date, the location, the march and the threat of assassination, Glenn Beck's rally has nothing to do with Martin Luther King Jr.

Beck called it the Restore Honor rally. He and Fox News aka Liar News claimed that "well over 300,000 people attended." Liar liar, pants on fire. Actually, it was less than 85,000 - and all of them were bused in and paid to do it by Republican donors.

After Beck held his odd rally, attended by social misfits who needed their daily dose of being told what to think rather than think for themselves, it was Colbert's turn at the bat. The social site Reddit had a popular post calling for Colbert to hold his version of a Beck rally in answer. Of course, this heartfelt plea really rang Colbert's comedic ego chimes. Colbert calls his rally "Restore Truthiness."

Colbert has legions of enthusiastic fans on that annoying sell-your-privacy-to-the-highest-bidder social site Facebook. Be sure to be on the look out for "God Geese" T-shirts and coffee mugs for sale at your social site soon.

Funny Video: Jon Stewart Mocks Florida Pastor Behind Planned Koran Bonfire

Comic Jon Stewart wasted no time in analyzing the Burn a Koran Day incident that had the entire world in an uproar from every religious corner.





From Denny: Comic Jon Stewart was not at a loss of words for the ridiculous insulting stunt from Florida "pastor" Terry Jones. Jones organized the now infamous "International Burn the Koran Day" as the ninth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks approached. Of course, it backfired on him.

Stewart royally mocked Jones and his planned torching party. His comedy sidekick, Brit John Oliver had a few choice words of denunciation calling Jones a "radical, hate-spewing extremist."

"This man is f***ing crazy," Oliver said. "He doesn't represent Christianity any more than "Dr. Laura represents the United Negro College Fund."

Funny Video: Truth Is Bush Tax Cuts Are 30 Percent Of Our Deficit

*** Stewart mocks the usual GOP hypocrisy claiming the Bush Tax Cuts lower the deficit when actually they increase the deficit.





From Denny: Oh, the tangled web the Republicans weave. They keep pushing those renewed Bush tax cuts - all of it. Well, frankly, there are a few things in the tax cuts that were thrown in to appease the middle class like a $1,000 child tax credit and the like. When the Bush tax cuts expire that same child tax credit will drop down to $500 per child unless Congress does something about it.

There are other taxes that will skyrocket like capital gains and death taxes unless Congress does something about it to safeguard what's left of middle class wealth. Clearly, the top one percent of the country does not need such great tax cuts anyway. They aren't in home foreclosure to the growing tune of 20 million, or out of a job for two or more years to the tune of five million, with another 15 million out of work or trying to survive by living in their cars, paying rent in a church parking lot, out wandering the street - like in the tunnels under Las Vegas or in a tent city.

There are too many middle-aged baby boomers who have literally lost everything that they worked for and saved. They won't live long enough to completely rebuild their lifestyles to previous levels nor will they now be able to consider retirement. Congress did a number on working Americans by refusing to safeguard pension plans from corporate raiders the past 25 years since the Republicans took over Congress, squeezing every last dime out of taxpayers.

The huge shame of the Republicans has been their well touted Bush Tax Cuts that have sent middle class wealth to the richest Americans who still are so greedy they want more. The Republicans complain about the deficit yet it is their very Bush Tax Cuts Plan that has added 30 percent to the deficit in the first place - $300 billion. Want to reduce our deficit? Then let the Bush Tax Cuts expire.

America needs a vastly different tax plan anyway. As it stands no politician is willing to rein in Big Business nor force them to pay up. Well, at least the government has begun to chase down the tax cheats hiding their money in Swiss banks. That's a great start. Meanwhile, back at home, we need to take away tax incentives to Big Businesses that send American jobs overseas or import foreign workers to take American jobs.

Jon Stewart called out the Republicans on their stupid plan and constant political drumbeat to convince weak-minded Americans of their usual lies. Better yet, he showed clip after funny clip of contradictory statements by the Republicans about the deficit and taxes. Amazed at how two opposing ideas can exist on the same party platform, Stewart: "How exactly can you be for deficit reduction and extending tax cuts?" and then aired a clip where Sarah Palin argues for both in the same sentence.

Yet another bizarre confusing argument from LaLa Political Land is where the conservatives claim "The money the government earns in taxes isn't the same as the money they spend, so the tax cuts will not affect the deficit." These guys have been in Washington far too long for their own good. Throw the bums out. Of course, Stewart replies with a Goodfellas funny clip of the "F you - pay me" scenario. Because, as Stewart says, "The deficit doesn't care where the money comes from."

Yeah, and it's about time the wealthiest in America pay their fair share, the government collects from them what they owe, and the richest invest back into America with 22 million jobs to rev up the economic engine.

Funny Video: Colbert On The Environment - Awww, Animals!

*** Colbert warns the animals of what he can do to them to defend himself against their crafty ways.







The Environment - Awww, Animals!

From Denny: Colbert reminds animals of what humans can do to protect ourselves from them. After all, animals are smarter than us and can overpower us if we don't do our homework. Their greatest craftiness is their adorableness. "Don't think you can out-adorable us, animals. Remember: we can coat you in oil, get you hooked on meth or taser you whenever we want."

Funny Video: Colbert Cleans Up the Gulf

*** Only Colbert can recap the Bulf oil spill and BP CEO Tony Hayward experience and declare that Hayward is America's favorite villain. Colbert demonstrates to us how to beat the crap out of BP.





From Denny: Here's to you, my fellow Louisianians and neighbors on the Gulf Coast. Colbert tells us how to beat the crap out of BP CEO Tony Hayward. Then he moves on to renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America "coz we broke it, now we own it." Colbert launched his new Gulf of America Fund to help clean up the Louisiana coast just in time for its next heartbreaking disaster. After all, because of the dispersant it's now raining oil from the sky many miles inland. Yeah, there's the best plan from BP.

Oh, and this just in from my husband after he saw this video: New Orleans should start marketing Tony Hayward voodoo dolls so people can enjoy pushing pins into them to take out their frustrations. Hey, if it makes money, New Orleans will jump on it! Failing that there is always a can of that famous Cajun Whoop Ass we can open and use liberally...

Dark Humor: BP Oil Spill Cartoons - 17 July 2010

*** More of the "we are so screwed with this oil spill" political cartoons to enjoy from the nation's cartoonists.Found this funny photo over at a bizarro blog from the loony tunes Tea Party crowdFrom Denny: Even The New Yorker ran a funny from some folks on an oil rig - included in its entirety here - who wrote in ludicrous oil spill recipes to amuse us with their Cajun style dark humor. I guess we "are where we work and what we work at" sometimes. Can you imagine working out on the Gulf in that mess, smelling those fumes, tasting it in your food, dreaming it while you sleep? BP Oil Spill:Steve KelleyEd SteinSteve KelleyModerately ConfusedSigne WilkinsonBill DayJerry HolbertNick AndersonSigne WilkinsonAh, dark Cajun humor at it's best!The BP “I Hate to Clean Up” CookbookFrom: The New Yorkerby Patricia Marx, written in to Chef TonyBlackened PrawnsThis is such a favorite with the guys on the rigs that the running joke is that our company was named after the dish! Believe me, you won’t have leftovers (but, if you do, they’ll last and last).Ingredients:Prawns. If prawns are extinct, use chicken drumettes.Enough finely chopped garlic to overcome aroma.Directions:1. Coat prawns with garlic. If necessary, use glue gun. 2. Broil. Watch for flareups. Tip from Chef Tony: Cooking is like playing jazz — there’s no such thing as a mistake. Wild Duck and Sticky Rice à la Pressure CookerA lot of cooks are afraid of pressure cookers, but I say no problemo. Besides, if something does go wrong, well, as Julia Child taught us, "You’re alone in the kitchen. Who’ll know?" Ingredients: A duck. If varmint cannot be restrained with tongs and corn-on-the-cob holders, stand on it. Enough rice to plug a three-inch diameter holeWeather stripping Directions:1. Clean gaskets and bird with Mr. Magic Countertop cleaner.2. Are there directions somewhere on appliance? See if you can find owner’s manual. 3. Serves four — or approximately - two hundred members of the press.Fun Fact from Chef Tony: As far as can be determined, nobody has ever sustained a permanent injury from a smell. Thick-as-Tar Chocolate PuddingMy late wife couldn’t get enough of this. Best eaten at night under a moonless sky. The pudding’s gentle glow is just the thing to put you and your sweetheart in the mood! Light a candle at your own risk. Ingredients:Cocoa powder (optional)Marine diesel BP Brand DispersantDirections:1. Lubricate ramekins. Set aside.2. Blend, baby, blend. 3. Throw overboard. Discard ramekins as well. Science Lesson from Chef Tony: The number of crockery pieces flung into the ocean is minuscule compared with the number of molecules in the universe. E-Z-Does-It Crunchy Pasta When I was a kid, my mom used to serve this alfresco. Then the yard disappeared.1. Follow directions for “How to Whiten Your Teeth” (p. 173). 2. If potable water is not available, serve yourself last. Chef Tony Says: Be frugal! Use the yucky orange-colored oil when cooking for children or those with a severe head cold. Tony’s Never-Fail Deep-Fried Doughnuts We’ve received reports that this recipe failed. We recommend that you turn off the lights and leave the kitchen immediately. Tony’s Try-and-Try-Again Deep-Fried DoughnutsHow much masking tape do you have? Keep stirring. If it still looks like that after an hour, continue stirring for four to six months. Can’t you call it gravy? Japanese peanut butter? Swiss cheese has holes in it and nobody complains. Blot well with paper towels. Another Thought from Chef Tony: Who wants to slave over a hot stove all day? Call Morty’s Deli. They deliver. Don’t you want your life back?

Funny Video: Colbert Mocks Republican Men Hairstyles

*** Colbert Mocks Republicans' Hairstyles, Especially McConnell's 'The Rachel'




From Denny: Colbert is up to no good, dissing men's hairstyles in Iran and among American politicians. In fact, Colbert says he actually approves of Iran's plan to outlaw certain types of haircuts. You know, like those terrible fashion offenders like ponytails and mullets. Iran wants to "rid the country of western decadent haircuts" and Colbert heartily agrees.

"From now on," Colbert said, mullets "will be known as business in the front, infidel in the back."

Colbert, ever the social commentator, says he also supports Republicans "for their strict haircut guidelines." There's 'The Boehner," modeled by John Boehner (R-OH), "The Silver Boehner," modeled by Orrin Hatch (R-UT), "The Ancient Pink Scalp With Wisp Cling," modeled by John McCain (R-AZ), and, of course, "The Rachel," modeled by Mitch McConnell (R-KY).
