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."

All Libations Friday! Links List



From Denny: Since I recently found out that Blogger does not back up anything but the blog posts I realized I'd better make posts out of all the sidebar links to ensure they are backed up! :) Plus this is easier to put into a Word document as backup too since the code is already written.

This Weeks Editorial Cartoons 21 Nov 2009

From Denny: It was a busy week in the news, the kind to lampoon. Women were up in arms throwing rotten tomatoes at some fed panel without qualified specialists deciding to change cancer detection guidelines for breast cancer. Women just feel like they are short-changed by the insurance companies.

Terrorists are finally getting tried in some kind of court whether military or civilian, starting with the controversial New York trial to begin soon.

Health care legislation continues to wind its way down the halls of Congress. Asking these guys to do the decent thing by the middle class has become an act of Congress...

Prez Obama's trip to China and Japan was a bit controversial when Americans saw that deep bow to the Japanese emperor and then no reciprocal similar greeting to Obama as a head of state. Of course, China is a sticking point ever since Prez Bush made them our banker. How do you tell off your banker? Answer, you can't.

Oh, and the GOP continues to disintegrate as dementia specialists. Bringing up the rear is weird Palin selling a book of lies, even in the face of factual emails to prove they are lies. Unbelievable. What is more unbelievable is that the book is supposed to be number one on the best seller list. Oh, come on, folks, just how stupid do you really believe everyone really is? The top 4 money guys for the Republicans have a history of buying up large blocks of book printings just to make their dog in the show look more important than they really are. Palin is no exception.

Here's the week's cartoons, enjoy!

New York petitioned the feds to try the idiot terrorists in New York courts. Opinions are divided: some want the revenge of trying the terrorists on New York soil, others are worried about bringing terrorists onto American soil from Gitmo. Note to "selves" worried about bringing terrorists onto American soil: get real; there already are terrorists on American soil, many of them home-grown domestic ones like Timothy McVay and other white supremacist groups.





Women were not happy about the change in breast cancer health care guidelines from a panel without a breast surgeon or a cancer specialist weighing in:



The continuing health care struggle just to legislate basic decency back into this country:











The GOP on slow decline self-destruct:





An exercise in greed and poor political judgment, The GOP Palin Nightmare:





Here are a couple of news links of the latest Palin weirdness:

Anger, disappointment after Palin stiffs fans at Indiana book signing

Fox uses 2008 rally footage to claim Palin getting huge crowds on book tour - and this is why Fox "News" is known as Liars News.

President Obama's trip to China and the reminder these guys bought up our debt who President Bush was only too willing to sell them, encouraging Americans to go deeper into debt. Remember the slogan when terrorism struck back in 2001? Bush declared to America, "Go shopping!" That was his idea of how to keep the economy from crashing after a national disaster: make the little people pay for it. Put the middle class in the poor house. Now that's a plan all the while calling their political party the party of fiscal good sense...

Meanwhile, back in the real world Obama is left with the balancing act of a relationship with human rights abuser China also as our banker.









The state of jobs and the American economy:





And America's favorite villain of the moment... It is disgusting how Congress has yet to get serious and take these jerks to task:
