Over the last week I have found it increasingly difficult to post Political Irony’s only regular feature, “Late Night Political Humor” because of the preponderance of Herman Cain sexual harassment jokes. Today, and until I come up with better criteria, I’ll not publish jokes that seem to put too much attention on the accusers as […]
I’ve heard the conservative/libertarian ideological opposition to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau but, like most libertarian/utopian rhetoric, the problem is reality not vision. Charles Pierce writes, “One office in the CFPB is the Office of Servicemember Affairs, which is dedicated to keeping veterans from being bilked in a hundred different ways, from loan-sharking, to predatory lending practices, […]
“The Republican presidential candidates held a debate in Michigan. Just what Michigan needs: 12 more people looking for a job.” – Conan O’Brien “There’s another Republican presidential debate tonight. This one is focused on why there were so many Republican debates.” – Jimmy Kimmel “If I were Mitt Romney, I wouldn’t show up anymore. I would […]
Now that Newt Gingrich’s poll numbers are surging, I was wondering what happened to the members of his staff that jumped ship in June. Dave Carney, Rob Johnson and Katon Dawson all went to Rick Perry. They must be having second thoughts now after switching from the morally muddy but excellent debater Gingrich to the […]

Wednesday, we reviewed 3 of 99 things to know about Mitt. Just to be fairly fair, today we’ll consider the 1 thing worth knowing about each of the other Republican candidates. Cain – He’s not running! He’s selling books and primping himself for a cushy job at Faux News Santorum – Santorum, ’nuff said, I ain’t linking […]
The folks at Shakedown News, with tongue firmly in cheek, suggest “The man who ran security at Woodstock in 1969 … may in fact, know what he’s doing” unlike some of the other clowns running. If you’ve never met Wavy Gravy, then you may suspect he’s just a 60’s counterculture clown. You’d be mostly […]
Our last Late Night Political Humor post focused exclusively on Herman Cain. Today we demonstrate we are able to laugh without Cain. “The people beat Bank of America, who withdrew their $5 debit fee. Instead, the bank is going to replace that with a $60 annual fee.” – Jay Leno “A new poll taken abroad […]
Something is obviously wrong in the God department. Cain, Bachmann, Perry and Santorum all believe God has called on them to run. Apparently, God couldn’t make up his mind after eschewing Gingrich and Paul. I don’t think God even knows Huntsman is running and he figures Romney doesn’t need his help since Mitt is already richer […]
If we want Occupy Wall Street to be the movement our dogs think it is then we should let the dogs hold the leash! Shelby, more person than B of A, represents Occupy Denver in opposition to the farce of corporate personhood Occupy Denver Press Release: “In response to Denver Mayor Michael Hancock’s insistence that […]
Here at Political Irony our corps of crack researchers scour the internets tirelessly to harvest only the finest information the web has to offer. We do this so you don’t have to. We recognize that our readers’ time is valuable so our large editorial staff analyzes each offering, deleting any dubious datum. Sometimes even this […]
I have been reluctant to pile on Cain in a jocular manner about the sexual harassment charges. All sexual harassment claims should be taken very seriously. It takes incredible bravery for any sexual assault victim to step forward and endure embarrassment and humiliation as bad or worse than the original offense. Still, although false accusations […]
Have you been shopping for underwear lately? If you start checking the labels you’ll find it’s hard to find Made In The USA down there. If you try, you might find made in Canada – OK by me – but most of all it’s made in China and that’s not OK … and it’s not OH, SC […]
I purchased online these “WE WELD AMERICA” gloves made by Tillman Co. When they arrived, the fine print on the label said, “MADE IN CHINA”. American products made in China are so ubiquitous that it should be assumed, left unsaid. – Iron Filing
