Wright and Kaiser - the early years
A professional athlete, no matter the sport, enjoys a certain time of year called the off-season. Off-seasons allow athletes to clear their minds and heal their bodies. As an added benefit, off-seasons prevent fans from becoming bored with the sport. Professional offense-takers should follow that example. Maybe their minds wouldn’t be so cloudy and the rest of us wouldn’t grow so sick of them.
Feminists head the herd when it comes to taking offense. They can find affront at the drop of a hat. Feminists have taken umbrage at everything from Victoria’s Secret to My Little Pony. Anything that fails to promote feminism’s “strong” woman — the bra-burning, gruff, nagging, sea hag — renders women doting airheads suitable for serving the patriarchal society.

HT to Tom Cohan for passing along Mitts for Mitt. Any suggestions for other Mitts the site might be missing?

Well, at least Ron Paul is not peddling in this mess. Maybe that helped drive his votes in New Hampshire above his poll numbers. Speaking of Paul, how about this? Andrew Napolitano suggested a Mitt Romney/Rand Paul ticket today.

(Apologies for the crass and quick reference to “Richard.”
No need to watch out.
You might as well cry.
Go on and pout, I’m telling you why.
Santa Claus ain’t coming to town.
There won’t be any reindeer, or sleigh for you to see.
We’ve banned them all so we can prove our great sensitivity.
It’s no joke! The North Pole’s favorite son was banned from his annual appearance at the Hollings Cancer Center in South Carolina. Said spokeswoman Vicki Agnew: “Because of our state affiliation, we decided not to have a Santa presence this year.” The Center, Agnew continued, wanted to be “more secular and respectful to all beliefs. People who are Muslim or Jewish or have no religious beliefs come here for treatment.” Read more
Gobble Gobble VI
By Stephen Fountain, EditorFiled Under Congress, Humor, Outside the Track on Nov 24
It has been a great, and now time-honored privilege to take the occasion of Thanksgiving to award our own PoliticalDerby Big Turkey Award.
In the past we have honored a person or persons with this distinction. This year, we searched, wrestled and then performed a detailed statistical analysis to find a worthy candidate. You won’t be disappointed, as we discovered a host of individuals who fit the bill.
Our 6th Annual Big Turkey Award goes to The Debt Reduction Super-Committee in their endeavor to gobble up the nation’s debt. Patty Murray, Max Baucus and John Kerry we salute you! Jon Kyl, Rob Portman and Pat Toomey we salute you!
For Congress to abdicate its responsibility and put its faith in a supercommittee of twelve (go here for a complete list of committee members) was a bird brained idea from the beginning. The fact that the committee failed is just gravy for the goose.
It should be noted that this is now the 2nd time (Gobble Gobble) that John Kerry has appeared as at least a partial recipient of the Big Turkey Award. Mr. Kerry, we offer you a special Big Turkey salute! You are the gift that keeps on giving.
We at PoliticalDerby hope you have a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving!
Rick Perry excuses on Letterman

Rick Perry poked fun at himself last night, doing a “Top Ten List” of excuses for his debate gaffe.
Obama sells mug with his mug and birth certificate
By Scott A. Robinson, EditorFiled Under Humor, Obama News, Race for White House 2012 on Oct 18
The Obama campaign played the birther conspiracy theorists like Jenny Oaks Baker plays a tune, smooth, in control and beautifully.
Now they mock them again. I must say, it is actually kind of funny.
Note: Click to enlarge.
This is a fantastic article that a good friend of mine sent to me yesterday. I love the side by side comparisons of these two very controversial figures. Ironically, my very first article was something very similar.

‘Drunken moose ends up stuck in Swedish apple tree’
By Scott A. Robinson, EditorFiled Under Humor on Sep 11
How about a good laugh to wrap up an otherwise very important and somber day?
Per CNN.
It was a dark, windy and rainy night when Per Johansson returned from work to his home in Saro just south of Gothenburg, Sweden.
“It was raining really bad. In the wind I heard something screaming with a very dark voice,” Johansson told CNN. “At first I wondered if it was the crazy neighbors, but then I heard it again and went and checked. I saw something really big up in a tree in my neighbors’ yard and it was a moose. It must have been drunk after eating fermented apples and as it was reaching out for more fruit it must have slipped and fallen into the tree.”
So yes, we had a little shake here on the East Coast. The folks in California are mocking us for what amounts to a nothing quake on the Left Coast, but it was a big deal here in the East.
I’ve already heard three great one-liners revolving around politics, since the quake was close to the Washington, D.C. area.
“Earthquake in D.C. Despite early promising reports, Congress is still standing.”
“Fox News reported the Washington Monument is tilting from the quake. Leave it to Fox News to complain that the Washington Monument leans left!”
“I blame Obama – there were no quakes during the Bush years.”
Have any to add?
Check out the logo for the new ‘Department of Innovation‘. Do you see something innovative here?
When you’re $14 trillion in debt, rap about it
By Daniel BassaliFiled Under Congress, Domestic Policy, Humor on Jul 26
Goremy has been hilariously rapping about living in the DC area for a few years now. He just put up his newest video on the debt ceiling. Funny enough, Goremy’s satirical message is right on point; the comedy displayed by his character in this video highlights the immaturity of our politicians during this debt ceiling crisis and why we so desperately need spending cuts and reform. Enjoy!
Thoughts from Andrew Malcolm on California being divided into two states:
One advantage of adding a 51st state is that President Obama would be a little less wrong when he refers to 57 states.
The new boundaries would also stick Nancy Pelosi’s Bay Area California in with Los Angles. The two crowded, polluted urban areas deserve each other, and their residents could chat all they want about wine and NPR without boring hardworking conservative neighbors who can’t afford maids….
