Monday Lite: Roundup of Late Night Jokes and Videos - 11 Oct 2010

Check out the late night comics and cartoonists as they dissect American culture and politics: ruthlessly.

From Denny: Can the political season get any weirder than this one? It sure fits with the Halloween season. I mean, when have we ever had an actual witch from a bizarrely named political party, the Tea Party, running for the Senate? How low can you go? Well, we already have a troop of liars in Congress pitting themselves against the middle class and working class of this country, sending jobs overseas. That's pretty bad.



Make sure you get out and vote Democrat, even if you have to hold your nose against what smells because the Republican and Tea Party candidates are actually far worse. The Republicans and Tea Party are actively pursuing abolishing the minimum wage. Just when you thought wages couldn't get any lower, the Republicans are working on reducing that too. They want to abolish your health care and Social Security. If they can't get Social Security reduced or abolished they want to give those billions of dollars over to Wall Street to "invest" into their back pockets.

Stand up and vote this November! Stop the madness. The good politicians, who are not corporate politicians, need our help as they are overwhelmed with crooks. Throw the bums out this election season. Make your voice heard. And remember, you don't have "bitching rights" if you don't vote. Guess you can tell this Democrat votes in every off-year election, every primary, every time local or federal government throws out the voting booths. This girl has "bitching rights."

Funny Video: Jon Stewart Says Republicans Want Clinton Blamed, Not Bush

*** Comic Jon Stewart documents the history of blaming previous administrations. Read that as the Republicans are whining their own political strategy is whipping them into weeping jello.






With Bush as President no one had to resort to Photoshop; it came naturally!


From Denny: We all know how intelligent comic Jon Stewart likes to employ actual news clips to bolster his comedy argument of how ridiculous politicians can be. He also enjoys lampooning Fox News folks for their outrageous lying statements.

Stewart's heart was greatly warmed when he found out that the show "Fox & Friends" watches Stewart's "The Daily Show." What a compliment they listen to him, Stewart thought. Stewart documents his own interview with David Axelrod, senior advisor to President Obama, that Fox complained about vehemently. Of course, does Fox News ever do anything less than high intensity venomous volume? Fox took issue with Axelrod whining that he was blaming poor little boy Bush for the lack of an oil spill solution out in the Gulf. Where do they get these bizarre thoughts? Will someone put those folks on some "reasonable thoughts" meds?

Now Stewart, though impressed Fox watches his show, went hard charging to point out that blaming a previous administration is truly nothing new under the political sun. He suggests there may be an informal statute of limitations as to how long into each presidency this blaming process can be utilized to maximum political potential.

The Big However is that the Bush administration continued to lay blame at the feet of predecessor President Clinton for the full eight years Bush was in office. To their hypocritical credit, today's outraged Republicans are incensed that President Obama and the Democrats would dare to continue to lay blame on Bush for this sorry economy and high unemployment only 18 months into a new term. It's so anti-American they say.

Funny Video: Stewarts Take On Americas Oil Dependence

*** Stewart thinks America is now listening about getting off oil dependence - or not.







From Denny: Stewart pointed out that President Obama is actually not the first president trying to wean America off our oil dependence. So, Stewart went off on a little history lesson tour starting with Tricky Dick Nixon. To date there have been eight presidents, count them, eight presidents trying to get across to us we have to get serious about moving America toward a non-petroleum based future. We must become independent of fossil fuels. Hmmm... how about telling that to the oil and gas industry that buys up new alternative energy patents so the public never sees them - and so we are forced to continue buying fossil fuels. Anyone see the obvious connection here?

Funny Video: Stewart Skewers Conservatives 4 Obama-Bush Comparisons

From Denny: Have you noticed lately how the conservatives keep trying to tell us how much Prez Obama is so much like Bush - like Obama is a Presidential clone or something? Weird, huh? Stewart decided he had to sound off on that latest Republican political strategy that clearly doesn't work.
