American and World Politics Humor - 6 Nov 2010

Check out the political shellacking my Democrats took this week from the American voters.

From Denny: America's cartoonists have this succinct way of capturing the national conversation, condensed and crystallized into images. Every week I go looking to see what their "hot buttons" are especially in the fields of politics and government.



This week was a troubled one for both political parties. The Democrats were trounced at the polls with their own Democrats turning traitor and voting for the worse Republicans. The Independents abandoned the President and, the two combined, gave this White House a "shellacking" in Obama's own terms.



The Republicans are under the mistaken impression they have a mandate. No, they don't. What they do have is their marching orders to start getting things done for the people. If they don't they will be turned out yet again.



What I found disturbing this week, while watching the news, is the terrified look on the faces of the Republican House leaders. Clearly, they were shaken. Looks like the Wall Street, Big Bank, Big Money, Big Business guys called them up and said, "Look, we have invested billions of dollars in Republican campaigns and attack ads. We now expect you to destroy what's left of Obama and get government restraint taken off us." And the Republicans suddenly realized they can no longer bluff and bullshit their way through this now. They must deliver. They also know they will not be able to deliver. The Republicans sold their souls to Satan and now Satan has come to collect their souls.



If the Democrats have an ounce of sense - and, at this point in the game I've begun to wonder if they do any smarts after two years of stupid is as stupid does - they will re-elect Nancy Pelosi as she is a premium fighter. Every Democrat must fight these Big Business interests of which the Republicans do their bidding. If the Democrats and the voters do not fight these Big Money interests what's left of the economy will surely implode. Who wants to end up like the old Soviet Union: in tatters economically for decades and then run by gangs? We in America are well on our way to descending down to that level of devastation if the Democrats don't "grow a pair" - along with a steel spine - and fight this coming catastrophic event.



Check out this week's political "shellacking" thanks to the political lunacy and poor leadership of Axelrod. Kick this guy out the White House. Hell, kick this guy out of the Democratic Party.

Presidential Historian Doris Kearns Goodwin Gives Obama Post Election Advice

Check out some interesting stories from history how other Presidents handled severe political loss and rose up to do better.

From Denny: Only Colbert could get a serious presidential historian to give an opinion opening statement about what this midterm election means, "What I think the voters have said is 'A plague on both your houses.'"

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."

American Midterms and World Politics Cartoons - 30 Oct 2010

Negative campaign ads were never so much fun to lampoon as cartoonists are enjoying this political season.

From Denny: The midterm election season as been as bizarre - and as entertaining at times - as Halloween! The worst and the nastiest negative campaign ads come from the Republican side of the aisle. The Democrats have dished out some of the negative spice of their own as well.

American and World Economy Cartoons - 24 Oct 2010

Check out the national mind and opinions of our economy through the eyes of cartoonists.

From Denny: Our politicians continue to campaign for their jobs while they refuse to guard ours going out of the country still at a rapid rate. This month GM announced they were hiring an additional 5,000 new workers. Yeah? Not in America. And we taxpayers still own controlling interest in this annoying car manufacturer. They have the nerve to stiff the American worker with the bill and no job to help pay for it.

American Political Season - 23 Oct 2010

This sure is a mean - and more competitive than usual - political season.

From Denny: This is a midterm election season and it is in full swing like a Presidential election. This year is when the controlling political party gets to redistrict the nation to give one party or another more seats and deprive their competition of enough to drive them into minority status. Meanwhile, it's the voters who suffer from these greedy selfish practices. The Republicans are the most notorious in breaking up Democratic strongholds they could never gain control of to get a seat in the House or the Senate unless they did gerrymander the voting district.



This year, because of the Supreme Court ruling, there are now anonymous donors throwing $20 million checks at the Republicans - and some Democrats - to buy back Congress. It's shameful how the Republicans have sold out this county. No other country in the world allows foreign companies or countries to lobby their political members - let allow buy them for hire.

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.

American Economy and Crazy World Politics - 16 Oct 2010

To our politicians: the nation's cartoonists are watching you... Check out their latest opinions about the state of the economy, the current election season and world politics

From Denny: Early this morning one of America's TV "Moms" passed away - Barbara Billingsley, from the 50 plus year old show "Leave It To Beaver." That crazy show is apparently still in reruns even though the Baby Boomer generation that grew up on it are all now Gray Hairs (excepting those of us who enjoy cozying up to the hair coloring industry). Barbara was in her nineties and still known for her wicked sense of humor. She was a delightful person on so many levels. There is one cartoon referencing the show in regard to the effect on people's lives from unemployment and the eventual home foreclosures. I doubt the cartoonist knew she was ill when he drew it.

Monday Lite: Roundup of Late Night Jokes and Videos - 11 Oct 2010

Check out the late night comics and cartoonists as they dissect American culture and politics: ruthlessly.

From Denny: Can the political season get any weirder than this one? It sure fits with the Halloween season. I mean, when have we ever had an actual witch from a bizarrely named political party, the Tea Party, running for the Senate? How low can you go? Well, we already have a troop of liars in Congress pitting themselves against the middle class and working class of this country, sending jobs overseas. That's pretty bad.

American Economy and Crazy Politics - 9 Oct 2010

Check out this week's latest political humor from the nation's cartoonists. The Tea Party wins hands down on the most talked about this election season.

Lady Gaga looking spooky for this election season gala whre we all will gag  if the Republicans get back in control.



From Denny: If the state of the American economy was not so sad these mental Bozos running for office as Tea Party Tea Baggers would be comical. The strange thing is there are actually people willing to vote for them. Which is why there are so many cartoons this week featuring the redneck theme.



I always get a charge out of my relatives in the Northeast who think all rednecks live in the South. Talk about a case of regional bigotry. It's bad enough we have racism and homophobia in this country but now it's long held regional culture bigotry. I've traveled a lot of places and if there is one thing of which I am certain:  Rednecks live everywhere - even overseas.  It isn't just an American phenomenon.

From Denny: All this weekend - and early this week - I've had the usual case of "Fall Fever." Who really wants to stay inside after a dreadful summer of weirdly high heat and humidity? When Louisiana weather calms down to cooler temperatures at night and low humidity during the day it's, well, irresistible. And the blogging just had to wait this weekend.

Friday Lite: Roundup of Late Night Jokes and Videos - 1 Oct 2010

Check out the latest late night jokes, cartoons and hilarious video clips from Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart.

From Denny: There are so many funny video clips from the past two weeks that I still didn't get them all posted! I guess the "spill over" will get parked over at Dennys Funny Quotes where I enjoy dishing out irreverent commentary and grins.

Funny Video: Jon Stewart Announces Restore to Sanity Rally

Sometimes, when you report all the time on how crazy politics can get - like with Fox "News" and Glenn Beck pronouncements - a guy just has to start a "new political movement."

Funny Video: Colbert Announces Keep Fear Alive March

Stephen Colbert goes bouncing off the walls and decides the answer to Glenn Beck's August rally is an appropriate - and sarcastic answer - the "Keep Fear Alive" March during the weird Halloween season. After all, weird is good. Just ask Glenn Beck.

Funny Video: Jon Stwart Lampoons Republican New Pledge As Tired Old Pledge

You heard it here first: The spend-thrift environmnet-trashing Republicans are recycling - finally!

Funny Video: Stewart Questions Character of Congress

Republicans in Congress lack compassion for anyone but Big Money, Big Business, Big Oil and Big Insurance. Then it's all crying and whining about wanting to continue the Bush tax cuts - which, by the way, are 30 percent of our current deficit. Yeah, deficit hawks, you don't ever mention that "factoid" to your Republican and Independent voters, now do you?

Funny Video: Colbert Ponders Tea Party Christines Next Crazy Outburst

Can weird get any more weird? Just in time for Halloween the Tea Party has given us a Satanic witch for a candidate. Voting sure is spiced up this season. Colbert ponders Christine O'Donnel's next weird move and crazy outburst.

Funny Video: Stewart Finds Obama Kryptonite

President Obama held a town hall meeting that centered around the economy and Wall Street. Middle class voters and staunch supporters blasted the President with their frustration of him, his policies, his slow response to the economy and excesses of Wall Street.



One African-American woman, a CFO at a veteran's organization, frankly said, "I'm exhausted of defending you." Talk about zapping the President's strength. She was a veritable "Obama zapping machine." "A black, lady, financial analyst veteran?" Stewart said in disbelief. "We have found Obama's Kryptonite."

Funny Video: Jon Stearrt Discusses Rally to Restore Sanity Advice From Larry Wilmore

Fellow ascerbic comic Larry Wilmore tells Jon to set the bar low - and flood the stage with artificial diversity - if he wants his Rally to Restore Sanity to be successful.
