“What I find so amusing about all of this is that Obama’s been in office 45 days roughly, and the public is blaming this all on him. It’s the Obama Recession, which is kind of true, because if McCain had won, Sarah Palin would still be buying clothes.” – Bill Maher “No wonder Obama has […]
So I was on vacation for the last three weeks; so far out of the country that I had no internet access. Just got back today, catching up on the political news, and it looks like absolutely nothing has changed. Minnesota still has only one senator. Wall Street is still taking advantage of anything they […]
Political Irony will be quiet for a few weeks while I’m on vacation. While I’m gone, please visit the many fine and funny websites listed under “LINKS”. I’m curious, how many people get the pun in my name? If you don’t, try saying it out loud. I actually had someone ask me if my name was […]
It is interesting that the 2005 Bankruptcy Bill, the one that made it more difficult for normal people to declare bankruptcy because of, say, crushing medical bills or home mortgages that suddenly ballooned, had another provision buried in the fine print. This provision, which was pushed for by by the investment banking industry, made many […]
“But do you know anything about the Dow Jones, ladies and gentlemen? The Dow Jones average went down to 6,000. Do you know what that means? Neither do I, but it’s the first time in 12 years that the Dow has been the same as Rush Limbaugh’s cholesterol.” -David Letterman “According to a new study, […]
Jon Stewart points out the stupidity of pundits who criticize Obama when the Dow Jones Industrial Average drops:
Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC) has been getting himself into the news a bit lately. His latest oops was a statement he made a few days ago about public schools in Washington D.C. “If you send a kid to school in D.C., chances are that they will end up in a gang rather than graduating.” The context […]
“I don’t need to tell you folks, but the economy is so bad right now that over 1,000 Americans have volunteered to become the Obama dog.” -David Letterman “The Dow Jones numbers are so low today they were made an honorary NBC affiliate. That’s how bad the economy is.” -Jay Leno “I’ll tell you how […]
Minority Leader John Boehner claims that “in a carefully calculated campaign, operatives and allies of the Obama administration are seeking to divert attention toward radio host Rush Limbaugh.” And Republican Senator and NRSC chairman John Cornyn called the statements against Limbaugh an “outrage” that “reeks of hypocrisy coming from a president who campaigned against these very […]
One of my pet peeves is that when your typical corporation has an epic failure, they often just treat it as a image problem, and hire a PR firm rather than actually try to fix the problem itself. The latest example is AIG, whose record epic failure (they just posted the biggest loss in all […]
“I want to thank you for coming out. It’s nice to be inside. It’s brutal out there. The Dow is 30 below zero. The economy is not looking good. Everybody’s cutting back. I don’t know if you heard this, but today, the Jonas Brothers fired Nick.” -Jimmy Fallon “Nice to see you all here. You’re […]
CNBC turns hypocrisy into a fine art, and Jon Stewart is on a roll: Wasn’t it only a few weeks ago that comedians were worried that with Bush gone, they would not have enough material? UPDATE: Jon Stewart appeared on Letterman Thursday night, and continued his criticisms of the cable financial news channels: The thing […]
It is hard to believe that the Minnesota Senate election between Al Franken and Norm Coleman was held in November and it is now four long months later in March, but Coleman refuses to give up. In fact, on Tuesday Coleman declared that the judges will never be able to figure out who won so they should toss […]
