Political Satire, Political Humor and Political Comedy that is Often Indigestible
The men and women of the Mitt Romney campaign are geniuses when it comes to political strategy. So says the host and commentators of MSNBC’s “The Last Word,” (video below). They are as brilliant as they are conniving. To think, I was one of the foolhardy that actually believed the presumptive Republican Nominee, Mitt Romney, [...]
“They say they’re not a violent group but they are willing to fight for their people should a race riot break out here in Sanford,” says MyFoxOrlando “Live on 35” on-the-scene reporter Jennifer Bisram, with anchors Keith Landry and Tracy Jacim primping in the studio. “There’s another civil rights group in town.

When they ordered their stickers from Stupid Is [...]
