HISTORICAL FAUX PAS

A Democrat congresswomen from California posed a young female sailor in uniform in one of her campaign brochures.  The problem was that the model was not in a U.S. navy uniform, but rather a uniform of the German Luftwaffe. Not only is it not an American uniform and it was a uniform on an entirely different branch of the military.  Someone needs a historian to watch for these things or at least someone who has some ability not just to copy something from the internet.

MAKING FOREIGN POLICY

American foreign policy????

A Paris correspondent argues that "no one trusts the US anymore."  Wonder why?

How to fix it? Well, the first step is to admit you have a problem. But perhaps I can offer a suggestion, or just a wish. Perhaps if America actually had a strategy for how to deal with the world; perhaps if America viewed the world as something definite to embrace and work on, rather than an amorphous blob out there; perhaps if America actually had a sense of mission, rather than necessity, about its role in the world; perhaps then it would feel a bit ashamed to so rarely honor its commitments.

CHUCK HAGEL, SECRETARY OF DEFENSE

Chuck Hagel never impressed me when Obama appointed him as Secretary of Defense.  Now he is discovered asking an Indian professor if he is a member of the Taliban.

BIDEN MISTATEMENS ON EUROPE TOUR

Among other things Biden gets Poland and Portugal mixed up!  I don't know who should be upset more, the Poles or the Portuguese.  And he thinks he wants to be President????  He makes Dan Quayle look like an intellectual.

DEMOCRAT HUMOR

Democrat comedians ridicule Republicans.

EATING DOG SATIRE

A satire on Obama eating dog in Indonesia. I don't know how many times this scene has been used to comment on some issue.

DANISH HUMORIST MOCKS OBAMA'S RHETORIC

I don't think you would see this on Colbert or the Daly Show.

THE GAFFES OF VEEP JOE BIDEN

A bit of humor -- a collection of Biden errors.

UN CONTACT FOR ALIENS

The United Nations has appointed a representative to be contacted by aliens who wish to communicate with earthlings. I am not sure if the UN can even communicate with Arabs and Jews.

RAHM EMANUEL & ISRAEL

Rahm Emanuel, the Musical. A right-wing Israeli satirical view of Rahm's advice to Obama. Rahm's "Jewishness" is questioned.

POLITICAL COMEDY

Steve Bridges does recent presidents.

REDRAWING THE MAP OF EUROPE

The Economist has an interesting idea--what if countries could move like people?

PEOPLE who find their neighbours tiresome can move to another neighbourhood, whereas countries can’t. But suppose they could. Rejigging the map of Europe would make life more logical and friendlier.

OBAMA AT BAT

I have been trying to keep track of political humor/satire since the end of the Bush years. This pajamas media satire on Obama is one of the best produced I have seen.

CLIMATE CHANGE SATIRE

This Hitler movie clip is probably going to be used by every interest group at some time or other. Whoever put this one together needs a spellcheck and they even get poor Starbucks in the script!

Something with a country & western theme.

BEARDED WIFE

Oh, those niqabs: An Arab ambassador discovered his wife was cross-eyed and has a beard! He now wants a divorce.

A REVIEW OF 2009

Dave Berry --great political satire. He has so many good ones, it is hard to pick just one or two--so I picked three.

February:
Despite this heroic effort, the economy continues to stumble. General Motors, which has sold only one car in the past year -- a Buick LaCrosse mistakenly purchased by an 87-year-old man who thought he was buying a power scooter -- announces a new four-part business plan, consisting of (1) dealership closings; (2) factory shutdowns;(3) worker layoffs; and (4) traveling backward through time to 1955.

March:
. . . an angry nation learns that the giant insurance company AIG, which received $170 billion in taxpayer bailouts and posted a $61 billion loss, is paying executive bonuses totaling hundreds of millions of dollars. This news shocks and outrages President Obama and members of Congress, who happen to be the very people who passed the legislation that authorized both the bailouts and the bonuses, but of course they did that during a crisis and thus had no time to find out what the hell they were voting for.

August:
California, in a move apparently intended to evade creditors, has its name legally changed to ``South Oregon.''

THE DAILY SHOW

Obama and the Democrats are in trouble if the Daily Show is doing this! The comments on Hot Air.
