The only things lamer than the duck in the White House right now are the late night writers abandoning political satire like their MySpace pages. If it was any other president in the White House right now, last week would
Stephen Colbert, the most popular fake conservative since Michael Bloomberg, has been named to host The Late Show. Interestingly, he was in the headlines just acouple weeks ago for angering the Asian community with anoffensive Tweet. While others might be
When Jay Leno left The Tonight Show, speculation abounded that it would be the end of Obama jokes on late night. One month later, I’ve been pleasantly disappointed. While new Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon doesn’t delve far into the
So we’re a week into BridgeGate, and the late night hosts can’t resist poking fun at N.J. Gov. Chris Christie. With the media handing them straight lines, the writers are having a field day. The jokes are practically writing themselves:
The NSA scandal has put the eyes of the world on America, and late night comedy writers are finding it hard to appease Europeans without indicting the President. Although David Letterman’s return from vacation let him mail in a few
As the Democrats and White House watch President Barack Obama’s signature accomplishment crumble before the nation’s eyes, another rift has opened up right in the middle of late night television. While Obama has been given a pass for the past
In the midst of a pending Supreme Court case, challenging a mandate that employers pay for contraception despite religious objections, it appears that the Affordable Care Act doesn’t discriminate against all religions. While most smokers will be penalized with higher
As the government shutdown moved through its first week, the late night talk shows returned the medium back to the traditional satire we once enjoyed before the Obama Administration caused political humor to shut down. David Letterman is proving why
David Letterman found it impossible to talk about the Instigator in Chief of the current diplomatic crisis with Syria on Monday night’s edition of The Late Show. The host made a couple light-hearted jokes before launching another slam at President
As fast food walkouts are staged around the country, a possible solution exists that wouldn’t inconvenience franchise owners and would highlight the hypocrisy of the left. I’m not sure if it’s a result of a simple union recruitment drive or the
There is no better sign of a scandal getting serious then when your most loyal supporters turn on you. If the White House has been monitoring The Late Show with David Letterman with the same scrutiny reserved for our e-mails
Monday was the first night back for late night television’s bitter rivals, and it’s easy to see why Jay Leno is clobbering David Letterman in the ratings. The sweeps figures are in, the White House scandals are growing, and Leno
While Jay Leno continues to joke about President Barack Obama’s scandals in the proper fashion, the writers over at The Late Show with David Letterman are still perplexed. Since I’m always willing to assist struggling comics, I went back into the
In a week when scandals plague the White House, late night comics are still struggling to find a way to turn the news of the day into punch lines. There’s nothing funny about President Barack Obama. That’s what we’ve been
Well into the Obama administration’s fifth year, comedians are still unable to find White House humor that doesn’t have a punch line named Bush. There’s nothing like the opening of a Presidential Library to bring out the old jokes. Ever
There has never been a finer example of government apathy for the middle class than last week’s proposal by the EPA to require oil refineries to restrict the sulfur content of their fuel. As Americans are seeing more more of their
Are Americans wising up on disability suits? A Professional Plaintiff sued Disneyland, and walked away with only $8000; about how much Disney makes selling Mouse Ears for half an hour. A disabled man got stuck on the “It’s a Small
The presidential limo is a perfect metaphor for the economy. The people who claim authority have no idea what it runs on. President Obama was due in Israel. So the advance team wheels his non-sequestered limo out of the cargo plane
No matter what Conservatives do to make their case, the Alinsky-bound Left is determined to continue the narrative of angry white racists. Did you know there was a Tea Party convention in South Carolina, last weekend? Well if you read
Deep inside the fiscal cliff compromise passed Tuesday night is an item that could lead more cities into bankruptcy. Allen Park, Mich. is an idyllic American town in the heart of the Rust Belt, the kind of place that far-left
Well, despite the best intentions of the devoted potheads of Washington and Colorado, the federal government has decided they will bust people for smoking legal marijuana. What the hipsters didn’t realize when they voted to legalize pot is that President
While Hollywood is busy fawning over the pompous president who takes credit for killing Osama bin Laden, they’re completely overlooking a story that has all the makings of a film classic. On November 4, “SEAL Team 6“ will air on National Geographic.
Social Security has been the legendary third rail of politics, the topic you don’t touch unless you like being toast. Apparently there is a fourth rail of politics: public broadcasting. Though it seems unlikely in a free nation that people
The American media was stunned last night to see the first Obama jokes ever performed on National TV. After Clint Eastwood left the stage, media people across the country were mystified. A shell-shocked Andrea Mitchell stammered, “This was exceedingly strange
It’s coming. It’s inevitable. It’s going to hit approximately the same time the Republicans start their convention this week. Not Hurricane Isaac, but rather the environmentalists’ claim that the GOP has it coming. Democrats are actually more predicable than storm
In a glaring example of government inefficiency, a recent study found a horseshoer still working for The Detroit Water and Sewerage Department. It’s reminiscent of Lt. Hiroo Onoda, a Japanese soldier who was found on a Philippine Island, still fighting
Even with the gaffes offered by the comedy entitlement that is Joe Biden, late night hosts are having a difficult time tapping into the wealth. The Vice Presidency has always been a topic ripe for humor. Since political satire is
When the President attacked business owners last week, outrage rippled through the nation as middle class business owners suddenly realized they are “the rich.” This realization came as a surprise: the vast majority of Americans assume they are middle class.
Well here’s something new: The Congressional Black Caucus has now declared the word “cool” to be a racist term. They’re also accusing conservatives of using it that way. It’s not surprising. “Cool” has always been a term associated with African
Nothing signals the start of the season more than the smell of a barbeque, the crack of a baseball bat, or a politician touring the Arctic. Yes, just as reliable this time of year as the local grocer putting out
Modern Liberalism is more about politics than policy. Even the most devout liberals are not immune to the legal harassment levied against other entrepreneurs. By all standards Steve Ells, CEO and founder of Chipotle Mexican Grill, is a model liberal. He
Just in time for Memorial Day weekend, in an amazing example of evolution, President Obama announced he wouldn’t enforce regulations written by his own Administration. I’m sure we’ve all heard about the ADA swimming pool lift requirement by now. In order to
There is no bigger motivator for respect than fear, and it has inspired some of the greatest tyrannies in history. On a much smaller scale, in an experiment today, the National Weather Service will begin test marketing new tornado warnings.
The contraception mandate being enforced under ObamaCare has the Catholic Church under assault, not only by the Administration, but by critics in the media and around the blogosphere, who think the non-existent “right” to free contraception over–rules Catholic principles. Most
Wednesday night, the House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed H.R.3567; The Welfare Integrity Now for Children and Families Act of 2011; which makes it illegal to use an EBT card in a strip club, liquor store or casino. The concern began,
ABC has relented to objections from the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation and cancelled the unbelievably bad comedy “Work It” after only two episodes. It’s my guess that with the protests from GLAAD gearing up, ABC felt it would
For years, the lawyers have not been able to resist instructing the auto industry. Since Ralph Nader began tinkering in the sixties, cars have gone from iconic to ridiculous. We have seen great cars like the Impala turned into a
According to a recent article, $1.5 million of federal stimulus money went to produce Internet videos. The money was earmarked to get inner city residents online by creating programming that would appeal to them. Of that, $230,000 went to producer
Being a conservative in Hollywood is much like getting your face tattooed in college; it’s a lot of fun if you never want a career. Throughout the three-year history of this space, we’ve posted countless stories about the Hollywood blacklist.
Occupy Wall Street has often been compared to the Tea Party; I think it’s usually meant as an insult. By comparing the grass roots protest of the Tea Party to the amalgam of radicals at Occupy, they can diminish the
