Why We Like Jon Stewart: Imitation, the Highest Form of Flattery

It seems that he does his show segments on our topics.  Why wouldn’t we like a fellow with such excellent taste?

This lastest video was made AFTER our posts were up.  Furthermore, his take on South Carolina was almost identical to mine.  He is funnier though. 

The worst racist, The Race to Replace Disgrace, a sex only happens after midnight…you gotta love the guy.  And before you watch the video, it seems that Haley’s opponent, Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer took a polygraph on Sunday night to prove he didn’t start rumors about Haley’s alleged infidelity.  🙄

Indiana Protects Buffalo Modesty on State Seal

MoonHowler

Not to be upstaged by Virginia, the cultural warriors of Indiana, embarrassed by a bare butted, pantsless buffalo on its state seal, made plans to correct this graphic depiction of animal  indecency. 

Here is the current State Seal of Indiana.  As you can see, this fine fellow is not wearing pants, thus exposing his buffalo “parts.” 

Indiana State Seal

Considered way too personal and graphic, some of the Indiana cultural warriors met in committee to fix this embarrassment. After all, Virginia had covered the exposed breast of that Amazon woman, Goddess Virtue who had been slaying tyrants for Virginia for over 200 years. All sorts of Virginia tight-asses had averted their eyes for years until they were rescued by the new Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, a transplant from NJ, who changed the attire of Goddess Virtue from exposed breast to neck-high breast plate.

Here is the proposal to keep Indiana’s buffalo in a more modest pose:

Indiana State Seapantsl

Good job, Cultural Warriors of Indiana. Your honor has been restored.

(Your state seal now looks like Sponge Buffalo Square Pants but that’s ok!)

Satire and sarcasm button off now. Thanks to a mysterious Ray for his art work.

Jon Stewart: Law and Border in Arizona

MoonHowler

Jon Stewart tries to educate himself on just what is going on in Arizona. He postulates that Arizona is the meth lab of democracy. Social commentary gets into Jon’s space.

Jon Stewart Explains Comedy and Fair and Balanced to Bernie Goldberg of Fox News

MoonHowler

Jon Stewart declares Fox News the lupus of news as he drops about 100 F bombs on them.  The war between Jon Stewart and Bernie Goldberg just went up to nuclear level.  Oddly enough, O’Reilly and Stewart seem to have respect for each other.  UFB.  I roared.  Forget howled.  This brought out the roars.

Mother Earth–You Fickle Bitch!

MoonHowler

ss-100416-volcano-update-2_ss_fullJon Stewart thinks people are always trying to make others feel guilty. Mother Earth apparently is no different.
He is also very disappointed in the lack of truly good descriptors for the volcano and its unpronounceable name. He names it Kevin. He can say that name. He attempts to help out the lack-luster coverage of the Icelandic volcano.

Why is it ok to make sweeping generalizations about Liberals? Democrats? The Left? The FAR Left?

What is that about removing the plank from thy own eye?

And on to the Tea Party Rally….was Stewart’s coverage fair?

Open Carry Discrimination (Jon Stewart)

MoonHowler

Sorry everyone. The Devil made me do it. I could not help myself. It is easier to beg forgiveness than to not do it. My son already rose up in protest. I told him it was a joke, a spoof. He isn’t laughing.

When Will We Ever Learn?

MoonHowler

Friends from Vancouver Island, British Columbia sent this little story. Perhaps there is a universal lesson here. It appears things are the same everywhere:

It’s late fall and the Indians on a remote reservation in South Dakota asked their new chief if the coming winter was going to be cold or mild.

Since he was a chief in a modern society, he had never been taught the old secrets. When he looked at the sky, he couldn’t tell what the winter was going to be like.

Nevertheless, to be on the safe side, he told his tribe that the winter was indeed going to be cold and that the members of the village should collect firewood to be prepared.

What Retired People Do

MoonHowler

My dear friend Frank sent this joke. Seems like a good way to end the weekend.

Working people frequently ask retired people what they do to make their days interesting. Well, for example, the other day my wife and I went into town and went into a shop. We were only in there for about 5 minutes. When we came out, there was a cop writing out a parking ticket. We went up to him and said, “Come on man, how about giving a senior citizen a break?”

old people

He ignored us and continued writing the ticket. I called him a Nazi turd. He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having worn tires. So my wife called him a sh..-head. He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first. Then he started writing a third ticket. This went on for about 20 minutes.. The more we abused him, the more tickets he wrote… Personally, we didn’t care. We came into town by bus and saw the car had a Republican sticker… We try to have a little fun each day now that we’re retired.. It’s important at our age.

Blame it on the retirees.  There has to be a moral here somewhere.  The sticker could easily become a Democrat sticker.  Out of respect for the sender, I kept the joke in its original form.

I think I have wasted an hour of your time….

I am sure Glenn Beck is disappointed that there just wasn’t more red meat out there.  But as Jon Stewart says, he got a new sign off slogan.  I liked the dog best.

And on another score, I feel like I have been wasting my time trying to establish dialogue on issues that people are talking about or want to talk about.  Interesting, that Elena and I can be insulted at the drop of a hat, and if we so much a speak back, the self righteous start in on us again about our manners.   That’s not going to work any more. 

I don’t feel like swimming through a sea of partisan politics and sound bites only to be insulted.  I don’t feel like spending the day defending one lone person who comes through the blog on his way to work and throws a poke at the Tea Party.   Not meaning to be Gospel Moonie but, “First remove the beam from your own eye, and then you will see clearly enough to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.”

I do hope this subject doesn’t have to be revisited.  Enjoy Jon Stewart.  He is funny in this video and I am simply too tired to look for anything more stimulating.
