Ouch Outrageous Obnoxious and Odd: True Ouch: Comic Gets A Vasectomy, Fondly Remembers His Balls
Ouch Outrageous Obnoxious and Odd: True Ouch: Comic Gets A Vasectomy, Fondly Remembers His Balls:
From Denny: Just when you think the comics have lampooned and mocked it all, along comes a guy joking about his vasectomy. Terribly funny, a bit graphic for the sensitive, though he does somewhat blur the explicit photos.
Jason Jones is part of the humorous stable of comics over at Jon Stewart's The Daily Show. What a crazy set over there. Definitely nothing is off limits and fodder for humor. Laugh on as he mocks his own parenthood.

The Social Poets: Courtesy of Ralph Nader: Who Will Be Obamas Democratic 2012 Challengers?: From Denny: Might the 2012 election finally get off the snooze button? Ralph Nader, for decades the legendary consumer advocate, hopes to liven things up a bit for President Obama. No one is happy with the GOP offerings and few are enthused about a second term for Obama.
How a primary challenge can help America
Nader's insurgency effort to recruit a pack of liberals to run against Obama should prove to be some exciting politics. At the very least it will accomplish two things: one, it could give the Democrats a chance to compare Obama to other possibilities and ensure his standing in the party to get him reelected should he perform well with them.
Two, some hard-charging liberal base competition will push Obama to quit masquerading as a Republican in Democrat's clothing and give a hard push to helping the middle class reinstate their job losses and put this chaotic economy back on track.

The Social Poets: Funny Jon Stewart Lampoons Obama Solyndra Technology Scandal
The Social Poets: Funny Jon Stewart Lampoons Obama Solyndra Technology Scandal:
From Denny: Stewart pokes some fun at both Obama and his critics for "It's not easy being green."
Jon whines: "Does one failed green technology company discredit the idea of a green energy economy?"
"Of course not, but.... say, if in 1936 you spoke about the growing importance of air travel in front of the Hindenburg. Well, you'd be right about the future of air travel but you'd still be on f*cking fire! Oh, the stupidity."
Did Obama maybe just have the misfortune of betting on the wrong horse without evidence Solyndra was just a donkey? Uh, well, he and his political hacks, Axelrod and Plouffe, chose to ignore excellent advice that the business model was a stinker on this business. But hey, Team Obama went ahead and threw away $535 million of taxpayer money for - wait for it - a helluva a photo-op.
