42 Funny Political Cartoons 13 Feb 2010

From Denny: This has been a fun week with the New Orleans Saints winning the Super Bowl against all odds and "expert" opinion. America, and the world, loves the underdog story because we all can easily identify with it. Congrats go to the Saints and their loyal fans! When I think back on the time of the devastation in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina and the lousy government response from the political partisans, President Bush and VP Cheney, and yet with all that stress heaped on top of them the New Orleans Saints fans still found a way to support their team.

Even the owner tried to move the team right after the hurricane because he thought he wasn't making enough money. What a jerk. He kicked the average guy when he was down and then rubbed his face in the mud. The only reason the team was not moved is because the NFL Commissioner also thought the Saints' owner was an insensitive jerk and denied permission for the move.

People without jobs and without homes went scrambling to find enough money to buy football tickets to keep the team in New Orleans. Amazing people, don't you think? Definitely, this Super Bowl win went far beyond just the sport of football, digging deep into the emotional psyche of a city and a culture. Congratulations goes to you, the people of New Orleans for your perseverance, tenacity and faith in the impossible.

Super Bowl Champs, the New Orleans Saints:

Cartoonists had a lot to say about America's Not Love Affair with big banks on Valentine's Day. Then there is the usual suspect of not-bi-partisanship highlighted in the area of dysfunctional relationships, so appropos for the love holiday:

Iran, oh, Iran, oh, Great Odious One, Oh, Great Bomb Maker Who Will Blow Up The Planet, Oh, Hearth and Home of the Great Satan selling foreclosed opposition protestors' homes as new vacation property to party loyalists - how do we (not) love thee? Answer: About as much as you love us. The Russians look at Iran, turn to each other, "At least we're out of the Hate Them Doghouse with the world."

And then there's wild-eyed ditzy Sarah Palin who is a complete embarrassment to all intelligent and competent women on the planet... the easiest comedy of all is lampooning a hypocrite that claims everyone else is a hypocrite and "let me prove it, wink, wink."

Canada, our delightful neighbors to the North, who still hold the longest running Gold Medal in moral decency for an entire nation, are sponsoring the Winter Olympics. They came in under budget and a year ahead of time on many projects. Let's hear it for moving corruption out of the business process and look at what can be accomplished in a short amount of time. Are the American lobbyists listening? Maybe they should take a continuing education course from the Canadians about delivering a quality product to the people:

And the best for last because this is how all decent people are feeling about politics these days since our leaders fail to listen to us, the voters, or do anything practical. Remember us? We are the guys who hired you and the guys who will fire you:

Roundup of Sunday Funnies 23 Nov 2009

From Denny: The biggest target this week for lampooning by late night comedians was, you guessed it, Sarah Palin. She does love to be controversial - even if it's negative attention she seems to thrive on it. Not exactly my idea of Presidential material and the kind of "thinker" I'd want with her finger on the nuclear weapons buttons... Wisdom is not in her vocabulary or daily practice.



From David Letterman:

"Anybody reading the 'Going Rogue' book, the Sarah Palin memoir? Remember the interview she did with Katie Couric before the election and it was confusing and clumsy. Well, in the book, Sarah Palin says that she felt ambushed when Katie Couric asked her what newspapers she read. This coming from a woman who hunts wolves from a helicopter."

"Sarah Palin signed copies — she's out on a massive book tour. This is a huge bestseller. She was at Barnes & Noble today and she actually had to take a break because she got a cramp in her wig."

"Then she got a sore hand from signing so many book copies. She had to call Rush Limbaugh to get some OxyContin, and that put her right where she wanted to be."

"Welcome to New York City. Beginning Monday, you know who's going to be here? Khalid Sheikh Mohammed will be here. He's going on trial. And the time that he's in New York City, he's going to be very busy. Monday, for example — Monday morning — he'll be on the 'Today Show,' singing 'I Dreamed a Dream.' Very busy schedule."

"He's not coming on this show, apparently because of a joke I made about his daughter."

"But listen to this. What a great idea. The CIA has a plan now, they're going to grab Osama bin Laden when he shows up for jury duty. They're going to get him, cuff him, outta here!"

"Here's great news. The United States Senate unveiled its healthcare bill. Listen to this: $849 billion, 2,000 pages. Whooo! Sounds like a Donald trump prenup."



From Jimmy Fallon:

"President Obama said he probably won't read Sarah Palin's new book, because she'll sell enough copies without him. Meanwhile, President Bush said he probably won't read Sarah Palin's book, because it's a book."

"The Senate unveiled its own version of the healthcare bill yesterday. It will cost $849 billion and cover 31 million Americans. It's so exciting. That means we're close to having that bill voted on by the Senate, then combined with the bill in House, then re-voted on again by both houses and then signed into law, which will take effect in three years. Exciting, right?!"

"I don't know if you guys know this, but tomorrow is Vice President Joe Biden's 67th birthday. Whenever he gets a birthday cake, he doesn't blow out the candles, he just talks and talks until the candles decide to put themselves out."

From Jay Leno:

"One week 'til Thanksgiving. Very excited about that. Back in Washington, our congressional leaders all preparing for the big Thanksgiving meal. I read today Nancy Pelosi already taking her turkey in to have its neck tightened up."

"The U.S. Postal Service announced this week that it lost $3.8 billion this year. Here's the worst part. You know how they lost it? In the mail."

"Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger says he will not run for another office once his term as governor is over. He said, 'I have never labeled myself as a politician.' At least that's what I think he said. Either that or, 'I never sat down at the table with an obstetrician.'"



From Conan O'Brien:

"President Obama has lifted his ban on doing interviews with Fox News. Well, yesterday, President Obama was interviewed by a reporter from Fox News. Yeah. And you could tell the reporter was from Fox News because the first question was, 'How do you think you're doing as president on a scale from minus one to minus ten?"

"Hey, President Obama was in South Korea today, discussing what to do about Iran's nuclear ambitions. And he said he plans to, quote, 'indicate our seriousness to Iran.' Obama plans to indicate our seriousness by having our next message to Iran read aloud by James Earl Jones."

"Earlier this week — this is crazy — the country's first marijuana cafe opened up, which not only sells medical marijuana, but also has a restaurant where customers can eat. In a related story, the recession is over."

"Hey, Kellogg's announced that due to a problem at the factory this year, there's going to be a nationwide shortage of Eggo waffles. The terror alert has been raised to orange."

From Jimmy Kimmel:

"The Sarah Palin tour made its top in Noblesville, Indiana, today. Her book, 'Going Rogue,' is still at the top of Amazon's best seller list, which is rare for a work of fiction."


*** Thanks for visiting and have a great work week! Keep smiling!

Video: Wingnut Politics Against Health Care and Olbermann Answers Palin's Idiot Claims of Health Care Death Panel

From Denny: There is about a 2 to 3 day lag time for the media outlets to post the best news videos... they sure are worth the wait! :)

The Republicans have moved way beyond the status of the Right Wing of Politics. With the recent Birther Movement to challenge President Obama's status as an American born in this country by declaring Hawaii isn't really a state (it is and long before Obama was born there) they have now waded into the even more bizarre waters.

Now they are claiming legislation being developed is "going to kill Grandma" before her time by putting her to death by some Death Panel. As usual, they operate on the increasingly wingnut ridiculous for the weak minds out there who already have a few screws lose or they could spot the obvious about these illogical and unreasonable arguments and finally figure out they are being manipulated into believing lies. As usual, when the grab for political power and wealth is involved the truth becomes the first casualty.

The more sensational and outrageous are the Over The Edge and Off The Cliff Politics screamer claims from the Republicans the more the media enjoys "the fray of raucous politics" as they call it. In my book it's just plain stupid politics of whiners throwing temper tantrums because they can't get their own way and continue to promote hate, racism, greed and lies. The majority of America has said, "Enough!" and voted Obama into the White House.

Here's what Olbermann had to say about the scorched earth politics quitter, now former Republican Governor, Sarah Palin's idiot claims about health care's new Death Panel to put us all to death if we don't measure up. Hmmm... could this be a prophecy? Maybe the Republicans are thinking of doing this to anyone who votes Democrat? Democrats don't even think like this perversion. Usually, the first person to put it out there as a claim is the perverted one hoping "he who lies first gets believed." Now there's a strategy...

Funny Video: William Shatner Puts Gov. Sarah Palin's Twitter Tweets to Poetry

From Denny: And here I thought Gov. Sarah Palin was just nervous at her farewell speech. Now I'm beginning to wonder if she has brain damage after hearing her Twitter tweets repeated by actor William Shatner verbatim as if it were free verse poetry. Strange, rambling, confusing, irrational, really sad...

Funny Video: William Shatner Recites Gov. Sarah Palin's Goodbye Speech as Poetry

From Denny: How many of you watched Governor Sarah Palin's goodbye speech and afterward were left scatching your head, "What did she say? What was the point?" To say her speech was rambling in a sing-song nonsense delivery is an understatement. I was beginning to wonder if she was suffering from a nervous breakdown. Surely no one would actually talk like this on national TV intentionally...?

Well, Conan O'Brien had an interesting take on her speech. Using her EXACT words in the same order Conan brought on actor William Shatner to recite her speech as a poem. Take a look.
