Funny Jokes: Republican Convention, Hurricane Isaac, Galilee Sex Scandal




From Denny:  Check out the late night comics.  They really don't like Paul Ryan.  And you thought Mitt Romney was not popular...  So far, I haven't been impressed by the boring Republican Convention.  

It does make you wonder just how desperate the Republicans are to win the White House when they contracted for CBS Scott Pelley to interview Anne Romney about her various health issues over the years.  I caught the interview this afternoon.  He actually prompted her to "tell us about your miscarriage."  You have got to be kidding me.  What did Pelley receive in exchange?  A promise for exclusive interviews if Romney wins?  

It was the most tasteless interview I've seen in years, asking her about her miscarriage episode.  What was stranger is how rehearsed the story was. Stranger still was the lack of emotion, lack of passion in the retelling.  My husband and I both looked at each other in disbelief:  Is this for real?  That odd interview really left you wondering if the story was even true - or an exaggerated version of the truth - because it was so not like how any woman I know ever relates the same circumstances.

The saddest thing about trotting out Anne Romney to tell a passionless story about a traumatic event, the unexpected end to a pregnancy, is just how low our national politics have sunk.  Anything to try and humanize Mitt Romney and grab women to identify with them.  This is a case of TMI.

These late night jokes kept our house entertained today as we wait out Hurricane Isaac.  We got our gear ready several days ago because we knew that we had a short window to prepare - less for now Hurricane Isaac (category 1) and more for the onslaught of thousands of folks driving up from New Orleans to escape the flooding.  They end up raiding our grocery stores and gas stations and clogging the roads.  They are like a swarm of locusts. :)

You see, there is a land shelf just outside of New Orleans that causes hurricanes to kick up in intensity.  What may be just a strong tropical storm can hit that land shelf and suddenly kick up to a category 1, 2 or even a 3.  

Fortunately, most folks in New Orleans have learned to get out while the getting's good.  Traffic here in Baton Rouge was bumper to bumper for a couple of days because of the New Orleans evacuees.  We locals have just learned to stay out of their way.

So, here I sit, tapping away on my keyboard, listening to the wind howl outside my window and waiting for the slow-moving rain deluge to arrive tonight.  It's always about the flooding here in Louisiana.  

Sit back and laugh along with me.  Lots of funny Romney and Ryan photos to enjoy too. 

And hey! Please take a look at the growing product designs - witty and serious - over at Denny Lyon Gifts where I'm raising funds to help out homeless female military veterans.  Some funny Halloween designs to enjoy as a laptop skin, a mug, a t-shirt, a throw pillow and more.  You know Christmas is coming...



From David Letterman:

Beginning Monday is the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Florida. Do you know what the theme is this year? Room Service and Hookers.

Tampa could be hit by Hurricane Isaac, and they might have to cancel or postpone the Republican National Convention. A hurricane headed directly for the Republicans – and more proof that God is a woman."

You know who else is going to be at Tampa for the Republican Convention? Gov. Chris Christie from New Jersey. On his way down there the last they heard from him he was on I-95 at the truck scales.

Today Todd Akin was named Democratic Party Employee of the Month.

The Republican convention was worried that it was going to be postponed or maybe completely canceled because of Hurricane Isaac. This is serious stuff. CNN is on full Blitzer.

The winds in Tampa are so strong today, they blew the dog off the top of Romney's car.

This year the theme of the Republican convention is '50 Shades of White.'

Comedy Gods Deliver Rape Advocates? Akin 4 Senate, Ryan 4 White House

Title card

From Denny:  The Comedy Gods have been busy.  First they struck their magic wands onto the tongue of Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO), who is running for the Missouri Senate, and caused him to speak his true mind about his definition of what is rape and what is not.

Then the Comedy Gods touched off a firestorm among America's women - and many men - who were resoundingly insulted by his callous ill-informed remarks about the traumatic event of rape.  As usual, these conservatives are also wrong on the medical facts as Akin was quick to quote as if it were true.

OK, a quick recap on what happened in this election year Bonehead Stupid Gaffe.  And, for all the media idiots that thought playing the Devil's Advocate for Rape Advocates, was also an exercise in joining the Dumb and Dumber Club.  Why do reputable news sites hire these despicable fools?

The Whole Truth, Funny Jon Stewart On VP Joe Bidens Wall Street Financial Slavery Speech

English: Joe Biden, Vice President of the Unit...
English: Joe Biden, Vice President of the United States. Svenska: Joe Biden, amerikansk vicepresident. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
From Denny:  Me thinks the conservative media doth protest too much.  Yep, they sure are laying it on thick for VP Papa Joe Biden's accurate comment about how the middle and working classes are chained into financial slavery because of the Big Banks and Big Business corporations that are clearly still out of control.

Since this is a nasty presidential campaign where all name-calling and outright lying is utilized by the GOP campaign in particular, they thought they could win some brownie points going after Affable Joe.

Yeah, like that silly attack stuck.  The man sports a Teflon suit, always has and always will.  He's been that popular with regular people - and Teflon fashionable for decades as a real public servant.

The media that jumps on him are the Lapdog Press - and political strategists - owned outright by the likes of the consummate puppeteers:  greedy billionaires like the Koch Brothers and Fox "News" Rupert Murdock.  Hollow opinions from the disingenuous contain no merit and certainly carry no weight with the voters, especially the elderly that trust Biden on issues like Medicare.

What Obama and Romney Should Be Talking About: These 2 Sick Little Girls

Thank You
The Fish girls:  Alice, left and Natalie, right -  Source:  Fishes For Marrow Wishes-Sisters

From Denny:  It's time to stop the madness along with the childish political campaign bickering.  Americans don't want to hear it anyway.  There are bigger issues at stake like the lives of these two seriously ill little girls from Utah, Natalie and Alice Fish.  In light of what this one American family is enduring should shame all the national politicians who are so self-absorbed they have not stopped long enough to notice.

I'm so disgusted with the 2012 election's childish name-calling tone and enabling media encouraging it that I change the channel constantly.  As a respite yesterday I went up on my page at Google + to catch up on those who friended me.  Lots of really interesting people from all over the world.  I grew up internationally and it's always great fun for me to see who's new that popped into my world.

Well, it turned out these little Fish girls' parents friended me (that's a link to their Google+ page).  It's a good thing I always take the time to read a profile page or I might have missed this struggling life drama of a middle class family.  These little girls are real troopers and have been living in and out of hospitals since they were born.  Their parents are to be commended for going the distance with not just one child but now two with this rare problem.

Natalie is now eight years old and Alice is two.  The story of their journey is an incredible one.  Their father put up a YouTube video (provided below) to describe a condensed form of their journey with the various illnesses and treatments.  By September 2011 the family was genetically tested and finally had a name for all the bizarre happenings:  Leaky SCID's, which is Severe Combined Immune Deficiency.

Romney Self-Destructs: Chose Tea Party Favorite Paul Ryan As VP


Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, right, jokes with U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin in April during a pancake brunch at Bluemound Gardens in Milwaukee.


From Denny:  If you thought the Romney campaign could not get any worse with the political gaffes and missteps, now hear this.  Yes, Romney just chose ultra conservative - and nationally hated - Rep. Paul Ryan as his VP running mate.

That certainly is a game changer, boys, the wrong one.  Well, guess Obama can now count on a second term after all - provided he keeps his political strategists like Axelrod and Plouffe from being his surrogates.  They really are just too sleazy for public viewing.

Romney's VP pick certainly increases Obama's chances at a second term, especially with Papa Joe as the ever-endearing Obama VP that is good for the country.  VP Joe Biden is the stark contrast of a caring person with a stellar foreign policy knowledge and experience compared to the punk attitude of Ryan.  Joe will eat up Ryan in any debates.  That stupid decision of the Republican strategists to fire up the conservative base will cost Romney the election as it did for McCain when he chose Sarah Palin.

2012 London Olympics: Olympic Boner, Funny Late Nite Jokes, Colbert, Stewart Videos

From Denny:  The London 2012 Olympics took the world TV watching community by storm in record numbers.

That, and with the global economic meltdown we are all too poor to go out so we holiday indoors with our monster TVs for free, right?  The Olympics have proven to be some exciting stuff, something for everyone.

Of course, our national comics have enjoyed a bit of commentary.  Enjoy the laughs as the Olympics winds down into its last week.

Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart video clips are sure to make you laugh right off your chair!  The Stewart clip about the rower with the "two mice hugging a banana" is funnier than the photo of the famous Olympic Boner.  All that for just a bronze medal? :)

Dennys Funny Quotes: Scotland Govt Shut Down Child Food Critic of School Lunches But She Rebounds Anew




Dennys Funny Quotes: Scotland Govt Shut Down Child Food Critic of School Lunches But She Rebounds Anew: From Denny:  A couple of months ago this happened:  Can you believe this crazy stunt?  A precocious nine-year-old, Martha Payne, decides she is fed up with the poor standard of school lunches so she starts photographing them.  Then she put them up on her blog, Never Seconds.

She is quite the observant food critic too.  She spots ugly things like hair in her food.  Oddly enough, she actually liked this garbage on a plate in this photo.  Kids do love mac 'n' cheese and jello, and, to her, these were infrequent treats.

On Martha's blog school kids from other countries sent her photos of their school lunches.  They certainly don't look as bare as this plate.  Apparently, Scottish kids actually like - and will eat radishes - not so here in America.  Radishes are great for your sinuses and good for staving off colds.  Since she lives in a cold climate it's good she enjoys them.

This plucky little girl hails from a Scottish coastal town called Lochgilphead which is about 130 miles west of  Edinburgh.  She caused quite a stir in her area by revealing the awful food truth.

New York Times Un-American To Criticize Olympics Athlete Lolo Jones Before Race

June 23, 2012: Lolo Jones reacts after qualifying for 2012 Olympics after coming in third in the women's 100 meter hurdles final during Day Two of the 2012 U.S. Olympic Track & Field Team Trials at Hayward Field on June 23, 2012 in Eugene, Oregon.

From Denny:  Now we enter the den of The Media Stupid, courtesy of the compromised New York Times. There seems to be a rather nasty bunch of writers over there these days, a sharp detour away from the stable of interesting intellectuals they once sported.

The current group has too many members who are all about plagiarizing letters to the editor (like what happened to me one too many times so I quit reading them years ago, then started up my own pack of blogs as a copyrighted version of letters to the editor.  Hey, it works for me.)

Their other favorite tactic now is ripping an Olympic athlete just days before competition.  How un-American can you get to criticize any athlete representing your country just before competition?

Obamas Axelrod, Bushs Rove: How Corrupt Are They? Have They Hurt The Country?

President Barack Obama talks with White House ...
President Barack Obama talks with White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel and Senior Advisor David Axelrod during the flight from Paris to Caen, Normandy, June 6, 2009 in the Boeing C-32A (usually the Vice President and First Family air plane) being used as Air Force One. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

From Denny:  If Obama's Axelrod's lips are moving, then it must be a lie.  Same goes for Bush's Rove.  They both have strongly demonstrated they are political opportunists and willing money whores, selling out to the highest bidder.

For more than the past four years I've watched this political strategist called David Axelrod.  He claims to be a Democrat but has yet to convince me this is true.

Like I said, his lips are moving but his deeds say different.  What has happened is that he has been found out in so many lies, misstatements and half-truths that they are piled so high upon one another like a pile of bones on a weathered battlefield - out in the open for all to see.

His latest gaffe is "leaking national security secrets" like the special computer virus that so annoyed the Iran regime at their nuclear facilities.  Of course, he "protests too much" that everyone strongly suspects he personally did it.

Dennys: News Politics Comedy Science Arts & Food: 227 Posts Roundup at Dennys Blogs 1 August 2012


Week in the field—July 13th, 2012


Dennys: News Politics Comedy Science Arts & Food: 227 Posts Roundup at Dennys Blogs 1 August 2012: From Denny:  With about 100 days until the 2012 election for a new President or a second term for President Obama, there is a lot stirring around in the news.  Both the Romney and Obama campaigns are working hard to influence opinion polls and the news coverage.

Somewhere along the way the truth has been buried.  Yet scandal after scandal emerges from the Obama administration while Romney stumbles with international gaffes.  All this explains why the polls reveal two-thirds of America thinks we are on the wrong track.
