I enjoyed the joke a lot Fadel, though I have to admit that I’ve heard it before.

It’s still funny.

The less funny part of course, is that the people of Moses who wound up in the only place in the desert without oil, just aren’t having it.

So, they insist on TAKING IT BY FORCE, from the rest of the desert that DOES have it.

Seems to me like there’s enough for EVERYBODY. Maybe they should just consider sharing it, or otherwise PAYING for it.

Jeeze…

Somehow it doesn’t seem fair. Defaulted debtors with their respective lenders who had bought homes with borrowed money that could buy gasoline at a $1.50 a gallon gasoline, will be bailed out with money can only buy $4.00 a gallon gasoline. I see these naive borrowers on the telly every night crying how they do not understand compound interest and adjustable rate mortgages. They seem so brainless and childish. Now there are states passing laws to alter mortgage contracts. I wonder if lenders are going to be eager to make new loans with such a precedent. This reminds me of FDR’s cancellation of the gold clause. Boy, that was a real spur to business. Yuck. This 3 A.M. phone call is just a message to the Fed to create more money. McCain is wrong. No one is going to raise taxes. In the interest of fairness, every citizen who does not have a defaulted mortgage should get get money thrown at them so they can at least buy some gold bullion.

Here’s another political joke! I hope it might be met with approval and a little bit of laughter by tdbach!
========================================
Recently, while going through an airport during
one of his many trips, President Bush encountered a man with long gray hair and beard, wearing a white robe and sandals, holding a staff.

President Bush went up to the man and said, ‘Has anyone told you that you look like Moses?’ The man didn’t answer. He just kept staring straight ahead.

The president said, ‘Moses!’ in a loud voice.
The man just stared ahead, never acknowledging the president. The president pulled a Secret Service
agent aside and, pointing to the robed man, asked him, ‘Am I crazy or does that man not look like Moses to you?’ The Secret Service agent looked at the man and agreed.

‘Well,’ said the president, ‘every time I say
his name, he ignores me and stares straight ahead, refusing to speak ... watch!’
Again the president yelled, ‘Moses!’ and again the man ignores him.

The Secret Service agent went up to the man in
the white robe and whispered, ‘You look just like Moses. Are you Moses?’

The man leaned over and whispered back,
‘Shhhh! Yes, I am Moses. The last time I talked to a bush, I spent forty years wandering in the desert and
ended up leading my people to the only spot in the entire Middle East with no oil.’

Must say I have heard two jokes about Hillary, the other was from Bert and I find both quite funny.  Thanks Fadel Abdallah and Bert.

For Chompers and his sexist fetish.

Did you hear the one about Bill and the $50.00 prostitute standing on the street corner?

On his daily jog, Bill pass a hooker and would ask her how much she charged, she would yell back $50.00 and Bill the tightwad that he is, would yell back $5.00. 

This went on for many days, one morning, Hillary decided to find out what was going on with Bill and his jogging, so she decided to jog along with Bill one morning.

As they were getting close to the corner where the Hooker stationed herself, Bill was wondering what the hooker would say, because he was not going to say anything.

AS they were passing the hooker yelled out “see what you get for five bucks!

Bad joke, in bad taste and sexist to boot.

Come on tdbach! Loosen up! You want jokes to conform to logic?! You must be a pretty sad person who never smiles, like few of my withdrawn college students who never smile when I crack a joke and every one else laughs! Comparing me to the Right-Wing animals at Fox is indeed an insult, for I consider those types the scum of the earth! If you meant to insult me through this comparison, I would admit that you succeeded, for I do really feel insulted. But if you find the joke “illogical” then it might also be in the eyes of the beholder! Have you thought about that when you posted?!

Furthermore, for your information I am not a partisan, as you claim, because I don’t vote either democrats or republicans. I’ve been always calling for multi-party political system to break up the tyranny and dictatorship of the two party system, rotating the control of this sad democracy.

I’m sorry to see even TruthDig focused on the horse race and not the content.  It’s not whether Clinton “gives up” or whether somebody polls better.

It’s also sad to see the snark and name-calling, the “Her Majesty” stuff from TruthDig readership is demeaning.

That’s a pretty fickle crowd you have there. Given the illogicality, the joke doesn’t stand too well on its own. It’s sort of like the “jokes” you find on that Fox attempt to do a Right-wing “Daily Show.” You have to be a pretty hard-core partisan to find it funny. Right, Cyrena?

Fadel…

I love it!!!

Democracy has been destroyed for good…
The economy is in shambles that some experts think we are in a depression…
The US negative image in the world is at the top of a list, only a little bit better than Iran, Israel and North Korea…
And we might be left with the choice of two possible evils in the next election…
So why not inject some fun into all this intoxicating mix?! Here’s my joke for today, and I hope you’ll enjoy it!
============================
The Pope and Hillary Clinton are on the same
stage in front of a huge crowd. ‘Her Majesty’ and His Holiness, however, have seen it all before, so to make it a little more interesting, the senator says
to the Pope, “Did you know that with just one little
wave of my hand, I can make every Democrat in the crowd go wild?”

He doubts it, so she shows him. Sure enough, the wave
elicits rapture and cheering from every democrat in the crowd. Gradually, the cheering subsides.

The Pope, not wanting to be outdone by such a level
of arrogance, considers what he could do. “That was impressive. But did you know that with just one little wave of MY hand I can make EVERY person in
the crowd go crazy with joy? This joy will not be a
momentary display like that of your subjects, but will go deep into their hearts, and they will forever speak of this day and rejoice.”

The senator seriously doubts this, and says so. “One
little wave of your hand and all people will rejoice forever? Show me!”

So the Pope slapped her. And I’ve been laughing since!
