How about this:
What’s brown and sticky?
A stick, you racist homophobe!

I don’t get it. Is this about McCain because he has a black baby or about Obama because he’s gay?
[QUOTE=Bosstone]
The key to humor is: It’s funny because it’s true.
On the Daily Show, they did a piece on Obama backing off his promise to use public financing. John: “Obama is on tape as saying he will use public funds. Why the change in position?” Correspondent: “John, we all say things we don’t mean just before we get rich!” It’s a slam on Obama (a mild one, granted), it’s true, and it’s a damn sight funnier than any Obama-is-a-Muslim crack.

I guess you and I have a different sense of humor. In fact, I’m not even sure I get that joke. He’s supposed to be “rich” now that he’s getting all those contributions? But that’s not really true, since he’s been the high money raiser for a long time now.
[QUOTE=MrDibble]
I’m glad you have a sense of humour - I just noticed you included yourself in that statement, so my post in that other thread may come across (heh!) as an attempted personal insult - didn’t mean it as one (NotThatThere’sAnythingWrongWithBeingGay, of course). I just hate seeing straight lines (heh!) get wasted, that’s all.

I have no problem laughing at myself, but I do have a problem with other people that cannot occaisonally engage in acts of self-deprecation.

Speaking of sticks, some people need to get some out of their asses. Lighten up.

Like Popeye? Never thought he was funny – though Michelle has a slight resemblance to Olive Oyl, which we all know is a Middleeastern product!

Shouldn’t that read, “This man said he was the King of the Democrats?”

I don’t find jokes about McCain’s age funny (so far - I’m sure a good one would get a chuckle).
[/QUOTE]
Some of the things younger than John McCain are worth a chuckle or two.
Especially when you realize they include Mt. Rushmore, the Golden Gate Bridge, the Lincoln Tunnel, Spam (the alleged food, not the email), Scrabble, the PB&J sandwich, penicillin, LSD, Bugs Bunny, duct tape, the ballpoint pen, the six-pack, the LP record, and a host of other things that we basically think of as having been around since practically the beginning of civilization as we know it.
I’m a prObama lefty and I thought it was clever.

I meant critical in the clinical sense. All you are privvy to see are conclusions. You are not privvy to the machinations in my brain as I examine him.

For Obama: I just flew in from Mecca, and boy are my arms tired!
For McCain: I just flew in from Hanoi, and I can’t move my arms at all!

Okay, those were pretty funny.
But Obama has never even been to Mecca!

Then let Mecca come to Obama.
That actually wasn’t too bad!

Are you sure? Isn’t that one of the 57 states he’s visited?

That can’t be funny because Obama isn’t a Muslim. Or so I read somewhere on the internet…

I have to disagree. If Barack Obama weren’t a Muslim, why would I be getting all these mass emails to the contrary from my wife’s grandmother?
