Saturday Satire

    This post used to be called the “Friday Funnies” but as you can tell, I am running a day behind so we have a name change for at least one week.

From PoliticalHumor:

Jay Leno

"President Obama was in Cleveland pitching his latest economic plan. He picked Cleveland because those are the Browns fans, and in September, they'll believe anything."
"There was one awkward moment when the speech ended at lunch time. 9.6 percent of the people had no job to go back to."

 

Craig Ferguson

"The new taxes are going to put rich people in a very tough spot. Paris Hilton may have to carry her own cocaine. Trump may have to fire the guy who trims that thing on his head. Warren Buffet may have to move in with his cousin Jimmy Buffet."

Florida Pastor Suspends Koran Burning…

…probably only because he cannot get a large enough crowd to come and watch his play.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The anti-Muslim leader of a tiny Florida church says he was lied to and is rethinking his decision to cancel burning Qurans to mark 9/11.

Pastor Terry Jones earlier Thursday had backed off his threat to burn the Quran after he said he was promised that a planned Islamic center and mosque would be moved away from New York's ground zero. Muslim leaders denied there was such a deal.

   And if this pastor actually believed that the mosque would be cancelled, then I’ve got some serious swampland out in southern Arizona that I would like to sell to him. It is humorous that a thief would get upset over being lied to, isn’t it?

Jones and Imam Muhammad Musri stood side by side in a news conference where the pastor said he would cancel Saturday's event.

Musri later told The Associated Press there was only an agreement for him and Jones to travel to New York and meet Saturday with the imam overseeing plans to build a mosque near ground zero.                            Source
