If you take every bit of humor or joke completely literally perhaps you have Asperger syndrome.  This is a high-functioning autism. 


Your inability to understand the irony behind jokes/humor must make you a very hard person to deal with on a personal level.  The world must seem to be a very cold and forbidding place for you.


There is no known cure for autism or Asperger syndrome.  There may, however, be a cure for someone who intentionally makes themselves appear stupid in order to put forth their own agenda.

    Joke's on you - it's from the Huffington Post
    "Barack Obama's ads are now appearing in several sports video games, including the granddaddy of them all, Madden football.

    The Obama campaign has purchased space in the popular Xbox 360 game "Madden NFL 09 and nine other titles by video game maker Electronic Arts, said Holly Rockwood, the company's director of corporate communications.

    Only gamers playing online in 10 states can see the ads, which appear as stadium signage or billboards, Rockwood said. (The ads are downloaded when gamers log on to the Xbox Internet service.) Unsurprisingly, all 10 states are swing states: Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Indiana, Montana, North Carolina, New Mexico, Nevada, Ohio and Wisconsin. President Bush won all of those states in 2004 except for Wisconsin."


    Agreed. Your post is a joke but one that flopped.

    Comedy Stop

    You know, that post regarding "Harlem dumbells" was a horrible post but you should see the post at our Comedy Stop regarding Andrew Jackson, George Washington and President-Elect Obama - NOW THAT IS DEFINITELY RACIST..


    republican comedy
    They've tried, they've failed (what was that series a couple months ago that instantly bombed?). I wonder if that's in part because of the way the party leadership has decided to define the party as pro-rich, pro-white, pro-corporation; these are not particularly funny positions, unless you're satirizing them.

    Of course, the problem is that the "liberal" shows are owned by big corporations who are not interested in changing the system, and so they too have to hew a safe party line, a sort of mild centery-leftishness. Shows are terrified of offending sponsors or viewers; that is, offending them on any issue that actually *matters*, rather than just showing distasteful things and giggling like teenagers at them.

    Boy, how did I make a post about comedy sound so boring?
    There you go. You should do a comedy tour.
    You crack me up, BigBug, you really do.

    Does your tin foil hat pick up Radio Free Europe as well as BSNBC?


    Some political comedy for a Saturday.

    I pulled this from a diary from the Daily Kos, made me giggle.  Some of it is arguable of course, but grossly true nonetheless.  It is a list of how conservatism and communism are the same.


    1. Anti-Environmentalism Radicalism. (Cons put the economic interests of the corporation first.  Communists the economic interests of the govt bureaucracy first.  The rest of us put the people first.)


    2. Anti-Middle Class Tax policies (This is at the cornerstone of both philosophies.  Sadly, conservatism is worse.)


    3. Boy Scout/Pioneer type groups for children.  Compare the right wing forces behind the Boy Scouts and the Communist programs of their Pioneers.  They're mirror images of each other.  


    4. Bureaucrats Making Medical Decisions (HMO bureaucrats are basically the same thing as communist health care bureaucrats.  The rest of us want doctors and patients making these decisions.)


    5. Censorship


    6. Civil Rights Opposition


    7.  Death Penalty Fanaticism - Granted there are many progressives, liberals, and moderates who support this but it is usually communists and conservatives who are most gung ho about the death penalty.


    8.  Excessive and Unwarranted Use of Military Force.  War is profitable, peace is not.  Both philosophies also tend to distrust people.


    9. Flag Desecration means jail.


    10. Govt Owns A Woman's Womb Yep, even on abortions the communists believe they control a woman's womb.


    11. Habeas Corpus Denial


    12. Illegal Wiretapping of Citizens


    13. Immigration Hostility - Both philosophies tend to be distrustful of immigrants and seek to deny newcomers opportunities.


    14. Individual Rights Denying - Both philosophies hate the individual and don't believe in individual rights.


    15. Lack of Due Process.


    16. Media Consolidation.


    17. No Right To Privacy.


    18. Occupational Safety Denying -


    19. Orphanages That Suck - Compare Newt Served Wife With Divorce Papers While In Hospital Bed Undergoing Cancer Treatment Gingrich's plan for orphanages to the communists plan for orphanages.  Both support run down abuse centers straight out of Oliver Twist.


    20. Patriotism Misdefined-- Both define it in terms of shallow symbols and blind nationalism.


    21. Police Abuse and Brutality - Both conservatives and communists oppose good cops and instead want to see law enforcement run by rogue cops who misuse their public positions for political witchhunts.


    22. Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons


    23. Rote Learning In Education (NCLB's teach to the test curriculum is Soviet communism education revamped.)


    24. sex police - Both philosophies want to regulate consenting private sexual activity between adults.


    25. Sexism -- Both philosophies tend to view women as inferiors out of the twisted Victorian era and not as equals.


    26. Tort Rights Destruction -- (including govt bureaucrats not jurors making decisions, denying plaintiffs access to courts, and loser pay schemes)


    27. Torture


    28. Underfunding of Schools


    29. Unions -- Both philosophies oppose democratic unions.


    30. Voter Rights Denying - both oppose free, fair, and honest elections where all adults are registered to vote and their votes are accurately counted.


    31. Wasteful Defense Spending - Both philosophies actually oppose strong national defense.  Instead they support using the military budge as a welfare distribution center for cronies and unnecessary expenses.


    32. Welfare For The Well Connected  Neither philosophy believes in merit or opportunity.  It's about power and using that power to reward your cronies and ass lickers.


    33. Workplace Discrimination Permitted - Both philosophies believe that govt bureaucrats and corporate management may discriminate against their workers for illegal reasons and the screwed employees shall have no recourse.


    -ISMS (should this go on the comedy board?) sm
    Just thought I'd share this funny with all of you. Today I had a discussion with a teenager about the election and US and world history. We talked about sexism, racism, extremism, radicalism, terrorism, capitalism, communism, fascism, socialism...a LOT of -isms.

    He said, "Well, with all the problems Obama is inheriting I hope we don't see a democratic ANEUR-ISM. And what do Palin and the Republicans embrace? FASHION-ISM?"

    LOL!

    "We climbed out of the ashes of all our isms, and believe me, we have a lot of isms. But now our isms are wasms."
    -- Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler

    Have a great rest of the weekend!

    That piece didn't look like it was meant as comedy.

    If it was, I apologize.  I guess I totally missed it.  Must be my weak mind. 


    RW should stick to comedy and leave politics out
    I saw him interviewed on the Graham Norton show. He was about drooling at the mere mention of the name Obama. His eyes glazed over and you could almost see him enter a trance. I like RW as a comedian very much. Funny as anything and I will LMAO at his comedy routines, but when he starts interjecting his opinion of politics, well lets just say he should stick to comedy and funny voices. That's what he does best. I do agree with the poster who said "another ignorant celebrity". Many of them are ignorant about the issues. 98% of the Hollyweird people live in their own little world and don't know what it's like to live in the real world like we do. But they think because they have millions, live in mansions, and that their fans worship the ground they walk on they are more knowledgeable about politics. Unfortunately because RW spouts off at the mouth with his little knowledge of politics, it really ruins it if he acts in a movie. Very similar to Tom Cruise and his Scientology taking over his life. Doesn't make me want to watch any of his movies.
    Yeah but, what about the comedy we'll miss!! LOL. nm


    Oohh........is this the comedy board, ....??? sorry, that statement is too funny if you have been

    Okay, now, how about some humor?
    The flooding was so bad in Washington that New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin called the president and said, 'You're on your own pal.' --Jay Leno

    Today Warren Buffett announced he's giving away his multi-billion dollar fortune to charity rather than leaving it to his kids. He said he doesn't believe someone's son should inherit his father's position in society. Today President Bush had him put under surveillance. --Jay Leno

    President Bush will not concede that global warming may have something to do with this crazy weather though he has been conducting all official business wearing floaties. --Jimmy Kimmel

    Bad times on the East Coast as much of Washington, D.C. is flooded. Several government agencies had to close down including the Justice Department, the IRS and the National Zoo. FEMA headquarters floated away. --Jimmy Kimmel

    The Census Bureau revealed today that Las Vegas is about to pass Washington, D.C. in population. The big difference between Las Vegas and D.C., of course, is that in Las Vegas people gamble with their own money. --Jay Leno

    Rush Limbaugh was detained at Palm Beach International Airport today for alleged possession of prescription drugs that didn't have his name on them. The news reports said he had prescriptions with two different doctors' names on them. One of the drugs was Viagra. Actually, the reason that he flies with Viagra is because if helps to prevent the person sitting in front of him from reclining his seat too far back. --Jimmy Kimmel

    Heavy rains caused so much flooding in Washington, D.C. today that they had to close down the National Archives where they keep the Constitution. They had to close it down. Luckily the Bush administration isn't using the Constitution anymore. --Jay Leno

    They also had flooding at the Internal Revenue Service and had to close that down. They said some records may have been lost. Good. --Jay Leno

    He hasn't been affected by the rain. He's been able to get around just fine on the presidential boogie board, Cowabunga One. --Jimmy Kimmel

    A 140 year-old tree on the White House grounds fell over. The minute the tree fell over President Bush wasted no time in blaming it on the New York Times. --Jay Leno

    Do you know this story? Today President Bush criticized the New York Times for revealing a government program to spy on people's bank accounts. President Bush defended it. Bush said, 'If you want to figure out what bad people are doing, follow the money.' He's right. That's how we got Tom DeLay. --Jay Leno


    a little BC humor

    Since we've finished the presidential campaign, I figured some political humor might be in store. In a government class in a Sante Fe high school, they were discussing the qualifications to be president of the United States . It was pretty simple. The candidate must be a natural-born citizen of at least 35 years of age. However, one girl in the class immediately started in on how unfair was the requirement to be a natural-born citizen. In short, her opinion was this requirement prevented many capable individuals from becoming president. KC and the class were just taking it in and letting her rant, but everyone's jaw hit the floor when she wrapped up her argument by asking...
    "What makes a natural-born citizen any more qualified to lead this country than one born by c-section?"


    A little Friday Humor

     


    A man died and went to heaven. As he stood in front of St. Peter at the Pearly Gates, he saw a huge wall of clocks behind him.

    He asked, What are all those clocks?
     
    St. Peter answered,Those are Lie-Clocks.
     
    Everyone on Earth has a Lie-Clock. Every time you lie the hands on
    your clock will move.

    Oh, said the man, whose clock is that?

    That's Mother Teresa's. The hands have never moved, indicating that she never told a lie.

    Incredible, said the man. And whose clock is that one?

    St. Peter responded, That's Abraham Lincoln's clock. The hands have moved twice, telling us that Abe told only two lies in his entire
    life.

    Where's Bush's clock? asked the man.

    Bush's clock is in Jesus' office. He's using it as a ceiling fan.


    Some humor for my liberal
    http://folksongsofthefarrightwing.cf.huffingtonpost.com/
    I must have missed the humor in this.

    And you must have missed that on a daily basis, the far left have developed a gang mentality where all the usual rules have been thrown aside.  You aren't debating here, you realize?  I could go on, but I won't.  There is no point. 


    Would someone please explain the humor in this?

    Is this an example of conservative humor (since the conservative talk show below wants to be the first to air it)?  Apparently (but not surprisingly), Michele Malkin is a huge fan and wants this song recorded.  I agree with his First Amendment rights and think he should be allowed to record it, regardless of how obscene the lyrics are.  I can't post the lyrics here because of the profanity, but they can be found at http://www.blackfive.net/main/2006/06/hadji_girl.html


    Sorry, but I don't get the *joke*.  


    http://apnews.myway.com/article/20060704/D8IKSGI80.html


    Jul 3, 9:44 PM (ET)


    RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - A Marine who wrote and performed a song about killing members of an Iraqi family has temporarily shelved the tune, a record producer said Monday.


    Cpl. Joshua Belile planned to record Hadji Girl with Hits Music Studios, and the conservative talk program The Mike Church Show planned to be the first to air it, said Jimm Mosher, co-owner of the North Carolina studio. But the 23-year-old Iraq veteran nixed the plans late last week, he said.

    We got a call from him and he just said he couldn't do the recording at this time, Mosher said. I was led to believe that he had it from high command that he wasn't to record the song.

    Neither Belile nor the Marines returned phone messages Monday evening.

    Hadji Girl surfaced in a four-minute video on the Internet. In the clip, Belile sings about a Marine who falls in love with an Iraqi woman and then encounters hostility from her family. Relatives kill the woman, prompting the Marine to gun down the family members.

    An anonymous person posted the recording on the Web site YouTube, but it has since been removed.

    Belile has said his song was intended as a joke.

    He did not violate military law, Marine officials said last week. Belile's commanders will handle the matter administratively, which can include informal counseling about his actions.

    Belile, assigned to North Carolina's Marine Corps Air Station New River, has said he believes the Marine Corps handled his case fairly.

    Mosher said Belile still plans to record the song. Belile has said he will leave the military when his five-year enlistment ends in October 2007.

    We're wanting to record and produce it, Mosher said. I think it tells a great story.




    A little humor for Wednesday

    President Bush was out, riding his bicycle, hit a rock, flew off his bicycle, over a bridge and landed in a lake where three little boys were fishing. 


    They rushed to save him, and the president was so grateful, he told them they could have anything they wanted in return for saving his life.


    The first little boy wanted a trip to Disney World.  The president said:  No problem.  Consider it done.  I'll fly you there myself on Air Force One.


    The second little boy asked for a new pair of Nike Air Jordans.  The president said:  No problem.  I'll even see to it that Michael Jordan personally autographs them for you.


    The third little boy asked for a really fast wheelchair with a big screen TV in front of it and surround sound stereo.  The president said:  Well, okay, but, son, you don't need a wheelchair.


    The little boy said:  I don't now, but I will as soon as my dad finds out I saved your butt.


    A little humor for the Liberals sm

    He falls off bikes, gets black eyes from pretzels, and nearly flattens his staff with a tractor -- Dubya's middle name should be Clouseau.  Wonder if he went to strongarm Caterpillar over their recent acknowledgement of global warming. 


    The White House announced its visit to a Caterpillar factory in East Peoria, Illinois, yesterday, where President George W. Bush advanced his case for expanding free trade negotiations. But it didn't detail the President's clumsy driving of a giant D-10 tractor that sent the White House press corps and presidential staff scrambling, which was reported at a Newsweek blog.

    At The Gaggle, Newsweek reporter Holly Bailey writes that the president clambered into the driver's seat of Caterpillar's giant D10 tractor. I would suggest moving back...I'm about to crank this sucker up, she reports him saying.

    But as White House staff started to move the press corps back, the situation became more chaotic. Bailey writes that the tractor lurched forward and White House staff too were forced to scramble for safety. Get out of the way! a news photographer yelled. I think he might run us over!

    Bush chuckled about the incident, and referenced driving the tractor during his speech, saying I'm impressed by a culture of excellence and accomplishment that is the spirit of Caterpillar. I also appreciate the chance to drive a D10. If you've never driven a D10 -- (laughter) -- it's a cool experience. (Laughter), according to the White House website.

    Bailey looked less fondly upon Bush's test drive of the D-10. Yeah, almost as much fun as seeing your life flash before your eyes, she wrote in response to the president's remark about his cool experience.


    yep - black humor

    Political humor


     Subject: Will Obama get Osama, or will Osama get Obama?
     
     
    After numerous rounds of 'We don't even know if Osama is still 
    alive', Barrack Hussein Obama has now been telling everyone he will 
    capture Osama Bin Laden when elected.

    So, Osama himself decided to send Barrack Hussein Obama a letter in 
    his own handwriting to let him know he was still in the game.

    Obama opened the letter and it contained a single line of coded
    message:

    370H-SSV-0773H

    Obama was baffled, so he e-mailed it to Howard Dean.

    Dean and the DNC and his aides had no clue either, so they sent it 
    to Joe Biden.

    Joe Biden could not solve so it was sent to the FBI and the CIA.

    Eventually they asked John McCain and his Staff to look at it.

    And within minutes McCain's Staff e-mailed Obama with this reply:



    'Tell Obama he's holding the message upside down'.

    On July 8, 1947, almost exactly 60 years ago, witnesses claim that an unidentified flying object with five aliens aboard crashed into a sheep and cattle ranch just outside Roswell, New Mexico. This is a well-known incident that many say has long been covered up by the U.S. Air Force and other federal agencies.

    However, what you may not know is that the month of March 1948, nine months after that historic day, the following people were born:

    Albert Gore
    Hillary Rodham Clinton
    John F. Kerry
    William Clinton
    Howard Dean
    Nancy Pelosi
    Dianne Feinstein

    You cant stand Hilary Clintons hair but you have no problem with Tom DeLays.

    You think Global Warming is no big deal but environmentalists are a major problem.

    You support the war on drugs but think Rush Limbaugh is being prosecuted unfairly.

    You think professional athletes make too much money but Sam Waltons kids deserve everything they have.

    You like the way George Bush walks.

    You think Al Gore is wooden and Donald Rumsfeld has charisma.

    You think CNN is biased but Fox News is neutral.

    You like the sound of Newt Gingrichs voice.

    You are sure the United States has the best education and health care systems in the world.

    You think Dick Cheney is a straight shooter.

    You think Michael Chertoffs beard makes him look distinguished.

    You think the problem with our health care system is lawyers.

    You think it was more important to locate Monica Lewinskys blue dress than to locate weapons of mass destruction.

    You dont believe terrorism has made Rudy Giuliani an incredibly rich man.

    You believe freedom of speech covers everything Pat Robertson says and does, but burning a flag should be illegal.

    You can be in the same room with Brit Hume.

    You have yourself convinced that the country and world are better off now than 5 years ago.

    A jump on Friday humor
    Now that the Enron slimeballs have gotten theirs, a look back at some old late-night jabs:

    This past Sunday, former Enron CEO Ken Lay went to a church in Houston. On the way out, a reporter asked him how he thought it was going to work out. Lay said with God's help we'll get through it. To which the Devil said, 'Hey, I thought we had a deal.' Jay Leno

As soon as Enron popped up, they sent him to the most dangerous place in the world. Jay Leno

    It turns out Enron workers were not only shredding documents at work, they were having sex at work. Having sex and shredding documents. Those are two things you don't want to get mixed up. Jay Leno

    He concludes by saying: Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed.
