Brian Williams Returns to the MSNBC Newsroom: Welcome Back!


Pope Francis to meet president, first lady


From Denny:  Turns out that friend and boss, Andrew Lauk, over at NBC believes in second chances for good people like Brian Williams.  Well, so do I.  It's past due time for Brian Williams to come out of the cold and be welcomed back into society.  He's paid his dues, suffered embarrassment and financial and status demotion.  How much more do the Boo Birds and Jealous Journalists want?  Those odious crowds would want blood if the network was stupid enough to give it to them.

Congrats on your comeback, Brian.  Ignore the jealous petty journalists in the newsroom.  The news industry is filled to overflowing with jealous petty people, just take a glance over at The New York Times, CNN and Fox newsrooms for starters.  No surprise they exist at NBC and MSNBC.  Two words to all of them:  grow up!  And, while I'm at it dishing out advice to toxic people:  be careful the meanness you visit upon others does not come back to visit your life because it surely will...

Jon Stewart, Late Nite Jokes Roundup: New Pope, Easter, Funny Politics, Gay Marriage, April Fools




2 funny video clips, lots of hilarious photo memes and great jokes!

From Denny:  How the comedy fun just keeps rockin' on!  These guys just don't give up.  They create the funniest news commentary in America.  OK, some of it is borderline tasteful but then you wouldn't be checking out this post if that mattered.

These jokes and video clips are just from the month of March 2013.  Yes, these comics are prolific and it takes a good week to round up the jokes and a few of the best clips.  If you have some additional comedy clips you really enjoyed, and want others to know about, just leave the urls in the comment box, and, thanks!

Last month the world viewed the installation of a new Pope after Pope Benedict resigned, the first to give up the job in almost 700 years.  This new Pope already did tremendous church reform in Argentina.  The entire world is holding their breath to see if Pope Francis, a Jesuit, has the nerve and ability to reform the entire Catholic Church.  While he is figuring it out hopefully he will not get poisoned by the infamous Curia Creeps who managed to kill off a number of popes over the centuries.  Meanwhile, the polls are in agreement Pope Francis is a pretty cool and humble guy, something the church has needed for a very long time: a breath of fresh air.

Of course, the comics had a field day with the awkward situation of a living former Pope and the newly installed Pope in the same timeline.  Because there was so much global media coverage about the process to figure out how to elect a new Pope while the other guy was still alive there are a multitude of jokes about that process - true and imaginary.  You know how comics roll, they have imaginary friends even as adults, so expect the unexpected.

There are a truck load of gay marriage jokes.  Every politician is suddenly wanting to get in on the act of agreeing gay marriage is fine to do now after they lost the culture war.  They all have an eye on running for President in 2016 and the country has shifted its views on gay marriage.  Most people "get it" that you don't deny other Americans their civil rights whether you agree with their lifestyle or not.  "Just Chill" is the new word, especially among Millennial Americans who don't see what all the Baby Boomer fuss is about in the first place.  If they could they would tell their grandparents two words:  Grow Up!

And, oh, the hilarious copious political jokes - for which I live to collect.  You will never experience a sad day in your life again if you bookmark any of these joke posts on any of my many blogs.  In fact, the reason I started collecting so many funny quotes and crazy political jokes highlighting absurd human behavior, was to help de-stress my fellow Americans in a down economy and chaotic job loss environment!  I guess this is where I should list the various blogs where I've parked more comedy and funny video clips for the past four years, especially of Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert:
