Glenn Beck Conspiracy Generator

Friday February 10, 2012
Glenn Beck Conspiracy Generator The liberal media won't tell you this, because they're too busy promoting Obama's socialist agenda to allow gay Muslim illegal immigrants to open a drive-thru abortion clinic in your church, but today is Glenn Beck's birthday.

As a special tribute, we invite you to put on your tinfoil hat and check out the old Glenn Beck Conspiracy Theory Generator — the secret source of his unfailing insanity.

He may have left Fox News, but you can still have a little piece of him whenever you need him.

Happy Birthday, Glenn Beck! We thank you for the comic fodder you've provided over the years, and wish you many happy returns to the mother ship.

The Week's Best Late-Night Jokes

Sunday February 5, 2012

Late-Night Political Jokes

"Donald Trump announced that he's endorsing Mitt Romney for president. It was really nice. Trump was like, 'There's only one man with the brains, the skills, and the charisma to be president — but since I'm not running, you might as well vote for Mitt Romney.'" —Jimmy Fallon

"It was a busy day for Trump, because just this morning, his hair popped out of the ground and predicted six more weeks of winter." —Jimmy Fallon

"It's a great day for Mitt Romney. He was endorsed by Donald Trump. Unfortunately it was a split decision. The thing on Trump's head endorsed Gingrich." —Craig Ferguson

"Mitt Romney is getting some heat today for something he said on CNN. He said he's not concerned about the very poor. I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to say that out loud. Romney said the quote was taken out of context. And that he absolutely cares about the poor. In fact, his campaign bus runs on the tears of the poor." —Jimmy Kimmel

"Mitt Romney said he is not concerned with the very poor. That statement worked out well for Marie Antoinette, didn't it?" —Jay Leno

Dumbest Mitt Romney Quotes

Wednesday February 1, 2012
Dumb Mitt Romney Quotes Mitt Romney is turning into quite the gaffe machine.

First there was his declaration that corporations are people, and then that he enjoys firing people. And now comes this gem:

''I'm not concerned about the very poor. We have a safety net there.'' —Mitt Romney, following his Florida primary victory

(Read more of Mitt Romney's most idiotic quotes.)

Needless to say, Romney is being widely mocked over the remark, which even has conservatives doing a massive facepalm.

A few late-night jokes skewering Romney:

"Talk about a tin ear. Mitt Romney said he is not concerned about the very poor. That statement worked out well for Marie Antoinette, didn't it?" —Jay Leno

"To be fair, to Mitt Romney the 'very poor' means anyone who doesn't use a solid gold toilet." —Craig Ferguson

"Romney said the quote was taken out of context. And that he absolutely cares about the poor. In fact, his campaign bus runs on the tears of the poor." —Jimmy Kimmel

And here are a few choice tweets:

"Mitt says he's: 'not concerned about the very poor,' they're just fine on the roof of his car." —Mark Fiore

"Romney: 'I'm not concerned about the very poor. They're all working at my house.'" —Andy Borowitz

"Mitt Romney says he's 'not concerned about the very poor.' Which is what he calls people with less than two homes." -Comedy Central's Indecision

"The only thing that could have made that Romney quote worse is if he ended it by laughing manically and lighting a cigar with a $100 bill." —Slublog

"Sorry Gov you lose. Here's home version of the I Ran For President Game." —Keith Olbermann

State of the Union Drinking Games

Tuesday January 24, 2012
Obama State of the Union Drinking Game Break out the whiskey and shot glasses – it's time for President Obama's 2012 State of the Union Address.

As you know, the Constitution requires that from time to time, the president shall give to the Congress information on the State of the Union, which is best digested by the citizenry while completely hammered.

Thankfully, there are several State of the Union drinking games floating around to help you accomplish this. We took the liberty of compiling the best parts of all of them into a single Definitive State of the Union Drinking Game designed to both amuse and intoxicate you as quickly as possible.

From the State of the Union 2012 Drinking Game, presented by HuffPost Comedy:

2012 State of the Union Drinking Game • Obama mentions the 8.5% unemployment rate – Drink 8.5% of a bottle of Jack Daniels (no more, you're probably unemployed and Jack ain't cheap)
• Camera pans to Michelle Obama — Drink, but then eat something organic
• Boehner scowls, shakes head and/or cries — Do a shot of orange liqueur
• Obama addresses Afghanistan — Drink for 10 years and 109 days
• Obama mentions "Wall Street" or the 1% — Pour yourself a glass of 50-year old single malt scotch, throw the glass out, then pour another glass. You have plenty

From the Official State of the Union Anti-Sobriety Plan, presented by Wonkette:

Obama Drinking Beers • Obama uses the words "fair" or "fairness" at any point: pass the bottle around the room so each person gets a swig. Don't wipe your spit off after each swig, we are SHARING, that is how sharing works.

• Obama says "middle class" two times in the same sentence: check the fridge for a Budweiser to toast the middle class and realize you don't have any because you have TASTE, but then realize you have a six-pack of PBR sitting there so no, you don't. Drink one of those!

• Obama talks again this year about giving everyone 350,000 "green jobs" like he means it, which he doesn't: a shot of absinthe.

From drinkingame.us:

Obama Drinking Game for State of the Union • Every time Obama says "debt" — borrow a shot from a friend, promise you'll really pay it back this time
• Every time Obama says "deficit" — finish your drink; borrow the drink of the person next to you and drink it too
• Every time Obama says "hopeful audacity of yes we can change" - sip of unicorn wine
• Occupy Wall Street — 1 shot of something cheap, but then get up and move to a different seat
• The One Percent — 1 haughty shot of something expensive (if you can't afford something expensive, see "Occupy Wall Street")
• Steve Jobs — iShot
• Osama bin Laden - fist pump, then 1 drink

From stateoftheuniondrinkinggame.com:

• Drink when POTUS says anything that sounds like "boner"
x2 if it works as a double entendre
• Drink if POTUS reminds us that he inherited this economy
x2 if he also reminds us that he inherited two wars
• Drink if POTUS wants to appoint a new Czar of Something
• Drink if POTUS wishes "to be clear"
2x if he wishes "to be perfectly clear"
• Drink if POTUS proposes a new initiative
x2 if it is an initiative that has already been initiated
• Drink when the Democratic side of Congress gives POTUS a standing ovation
x2 if both sides of Congress do
finish your drink if only the Republicans do
