Someone sent this to me in an email years ago and thought I'd post it here because it fits with the labor protests in Wisconsin and elsewhere.

"The story of an average Joe"

Joe gets up at 6 a.m. and fills his coffeepot with water to prepare hismorning coffee. The water is clean because some tree-hugging liberal fought for minimum water-quality standards.

With his first swallow of coffee, he takes his daily medication. His medications are safe to take because some stupid commie liberal fought to ensure their safety and that they work as advertised.....

Conservative talk radio and Fox News host Glenn Beck called for an invasion of the United Kingdom on Friday to head off what he called an attempt by the British to re-establish America as a colony, as well as the rest of the British Empire.

Beck said he recently saw a documentary on “the British invasion” of rock bands during the 1960s and realized it was the cause of recent unrest in Egypt and the Islamic world overall, given that Britain once had colonies in the Middle East.

“Make no mistake this is all part of a trend,” Beck said as he put album covers from The Beatles, the Rolling Stones and The Dave Clark Five on his chalkboard. He also put up pictures of Saddam Hussein, Adolph Hitler and, for some unclear reason, Lenny Kosnowksi from the 1970s-era sitcom Laverne & Shirley. He then drew circles, lines and smiley faces to link these disparate elements together, along with the date “1776” and “War of 1812.”

The anniversary of former President Ronald Reagan’s 100th birthday took an unexpected turn when, late on Sunday, the statue came to life in the Capitol Rotunda and went on a two-hour rampage in Washington, DC.

Footage from a security camera indicated a lightning bolt somehow came through a nearby window and struck the bronze statue, triggering an animation cycle common to bronze statues.

"I wasn’t sure what the protocol was on this, I mean on the one hand it’s a former president but on the other hand it’s a freakin statue," said a security guard who asked not to be identified. "I didn’t know what to do so I asked him if he’d like some coffee."

The guard said Reagan’s statue responded with a trademark "well...." then grabbed his keys before storming off towards Congressional offices. The security guard alerted Republican lawmakers and their congressional staffs were the first to arrive on the scene and found Reagan roaming among congressional offices, causing considerable damage as its heavy bronze feet cracked the marble floors with each step.

Dick Cheney is like a firefighter who shows up to a house that's on fire but ignores it so he can set fire to the house next door----just in case there's an arsonist inside. He does so without any plan for rebuilding the neighborhood and manages to screw that up as well.

He now wants to knock on your door and lecture you about fire safety.

No thanks Cheney, we'll stick with someone who wasn't behind the biggest blunder in the entire history of American foreign policy.

It seems the 1960s "British invasion" was just the first step towards an Islamic caliphate.

A couple of teaheads wrote a song for Sarah Palin, sung to the tune of the "Battle Hymn of the Republic."

Faced with the eventual repeal of the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell policy on gays in the military, a group of current and former Republican lawmakers introduced their own proposal on Wednesday whereby gays would be allowed to serve in the military as long as they provide graphic details about their encounters. They call it "Don’t Ask, DO Tell."

"I want to hear all their sordid tales," said former Sen. Larry Craig. "I mean, where are they getting together? Are there any positions I’m not aware of? It’s time for gays to come out of the men’s rooms and give some pointers to those of us living in denial. When I think of all those buff military guys doing what comes unnaturally I just uh.... excuse me..... I gotta find a restroom."

Although a ballot initiative to legalize marijuana in California failed on Tuesday, thousands of its supporters were still trying to find their polling stations or figure out how to vote in the days following the election. The measure, known as Proposition 19, was rejected by 53.9 percent of the vote.

"Woah dude, you mean I can’t vote anymore? Don’t they like give us some kinda grace period?" said Ken Stafford, a junior and psychology major at the City College of San Francisco. "My teachers usually give me a coupla days extra to get a paper in, especially if I cough and act like I got a cold or something. I figured I’d get to voting sometime next week."

Stafford was not alone. Prop 19 supporters have been showing up at closed polling places, courthouses, Department of Motor Vehicles offices and any place with an official look to it—such as buildings with marble exteriors.

Mid-terms 2010: "Rise of the crazies"

Somewhere in the bowels of Congress, the next Speaker of the House is pulled off his tanning bed by his assistant...

Igor: "Mr. Boehner, Mr. Boehner! They’ve become self-aware. They can sense their own power! Michelle Bachmann wants to run for a leadership position. She and her crazies won’t go back underground! They won’t self-hibernate until the next election!

Boehner: "Well, flood the asylum before they escape. They’ll make the entire party look like a bunch of lunatics!

Igor: It’s too late, my master! They’ve already escaped the asylum. We cut off their supply of tea, we tried flooding the halls of Congress with blasts of real information to scare them away—not talking points sir, REAL information, but they’re impervious to it. They’re bent on taking over the entire party—maybe even the world!

Boehner: We’re doomed!

President Barack Obama responded to Tuesday’s mid-term election losses by promising to bend time and space, invent a cold fusion reactor and walk on water at least twice a week in an effort to appease his base—but also indicated he would keep the American people in the dark about what he’s accomplished.

In a videotaped message issued to mark the ninth anniversary of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden praised Christian extremists for inflaming the Islamic world with their anti-Muslim actions and rhetoric.

He spoke particularly of plans to build an Islamic-based cultural center in New York City and of a Florida preacher threatening to burn the Koran.
