Find out…

Want To Buy A Joke?

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in Comedy, Kitchen Sink

A writer from The Onion is selling one on eBay.
No, seriously…
My name is John Harris, and I am a staff writer at The Onion, America’s Finest News Source. I am selling a joke that I can’t find a contextual home for. To be fair, it’s less of a joke and more of a dated, Capote-esque [...]

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in Comedy, Illinois, Law

Maybe it’s just me, but do the following “artist depictions” strike you as a tad on the amateurish side?
First, Blagojevich hangs his head and can’t even make eye contact with the judge, but that’s a big deal since she’s talking to somebody in the far left corner of the room…

Then, Blagojevich has loosened his shirt [...]

McCain On SNL

He was hilarious, but, as with Palin’s appearance, I can’t help but think that this doesn’t really help his chances.

I can’t believe these guys pulled this off.

Here’s more…
The Masked Avengers, a radio pairing notorious for prank calls to celebrities and heads of state, notched its latest victory Saturday when it released a recording of a six-minute call with Palin, who thought she was talking with Nicolas Sarkozy. Throughout the call, which was making the [...]

McCain Vs. Obama Dance-Off

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Barack, Comedy, McCain, Palin, Video

You have to watch this, if for no other reason to see the video they used for John McCain. His expressions are priceless.

So here’s the thing…after watching this I wonder how long it’ll be before we see some sort of video created that shows a candidate saying something they actually didn’t say. I mean, obviously [...]

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Bush, Comedy, McCain, Palin, Video

You’ve probably already seen this, but if not…classic stuff.
By the way, the following is the entire episode from Thursday night.

Okay folks…who’s better? Will Ferrell’s Bush or Tina Fey’s Palin?
My vote is with Ferrell. I love his Bush.

Opie, Andy, Richie And Arthur Endorse Obama

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Barack, Comedy, History, Video

Know who those four are?
Just watch…

It’s certainly a clever way to endorse somebody, and I think it’s telling that Howard went to so much trouble even though he’s an independent.

The first thing I thought when I watched the following clips was “This is good for Palin in the long run, but it hurts McCain in the short term.”

A Night For Laughs

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Barack, Comedy, McCain, Video

The Alfred E. Smith Dinner in NYC is one of those things you look forward to hearing about every year because, for one night at least, politicians can just throw out some zingers and the only thing you’ll hear from their opponents are laughs.
McCain had some good ones…
McCain says he fired all of his campaign [...]

Sarah Palin To Go On SNL

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Comedy, Media, Palin, Veep

In a time like this, what kind of message are you sending to the American people when you’ll go on NBC’s comedy show, but you refuse to be interviewed by NBC’s journalists?
Still, I suppose this is somehow ironically appropriate given the seriousness of her as a VP pick.
From NY Post:
SOCCER moms and Joe Sixpacks, listen [...]
