Stop Me Before I Budget Again!

Little Jimmy Flaherty

Jimmy Flaherty took an axe
And gave Ontario 40 whacks
When voters saw what he had done
He gave the country 41

Of Course, Coburn Was Really Just Asking For A Democrat To Win An All-expenses Paid Trip To Tahiti That Left That Evening

With health care reform about to pass, Senator Tom Coburn said, "What the American people ought to pray is that somebody can't make the vote tonight. That's what they ought to pray."

"God would like it to be known that He is no politician's hit man - certainly not Tom Coburn's," stated Heaven's press secretary The Archangel Gabriel. "He did do a lot of smiting in his youth, but that was just a phase The Almighty was going through, and He is a much different deity now."

All That Gleeful Hand Rubbing Could Power A Small City

The Conservative government, overruling a...ruling by the CRTC, has decided to allow Globalive Wireless to enter the Canadian telecom market, even though it does not meet Canadian ownership requirements.

"Ooh, this is an interesting development" said Goldman Sachs, rubbing its hands with glee. "Can I take control of Canwest Global's Alliance/Atlantis now? In fact, can I just take over Canwest Global?"

"Ooh, I like this," said Comcast, rubbing its hands with glee. "Can I buy CTVGlobemedia?"

"Ooh, imagine the possibilities," said General Electric, rubbing its hands with glee. "Can I buy the CBC? Please? Oh, please? I promise to take really good care of it!"

"Can I still watch Glee when I want to?" the Canadian consumer asked. Globalive, Goldman Sachs, Comcast and GE all nodded eagerly, like bobbleheads on crack. "Sure. Go for it."

Mistresses Four To 13 Could Have Been Included, But Joke Would Have Gone On For Pages
Public Encouraged To Use Imagination

Nine reasons to update your will:

1. You're cheating on your mistress with a new mistress.
2. Your old mistress found out you're cheating on her with a new mistress and has certain...demands...
3. Your wife found out about your first mistress, and she would really like to stay together for the sake of the children, but sometimes she has to think about her own needs, you know...
4. Your wife found out about the mistress you're currently cheating on your first mistress with, and really needs time to process the whole situation, but she can be persuaded to stay with you...for a price...
5. You have found religion.
6. Your second mistress has found out about the woman you are currently seeing because she "understands" your situation better than any woman you have ever known.
7. Your first mistress is threatening to team up with your second mistress to tell your wife about your current mistress unless they get the "respect" that is due them.
8. Your wife has found out about your current mistress, and believes she will need long-term therapy to deal with it all...in the south of France...
9. A humanitarian foundation would really help the public forget about your private life...

Are You SURE You Want ME To Be The Judge?
My Family Doesn't Even Allow Me To Have The Remote!

They laughed at the birthers, said we were crazy conspiracy theorists. Conspiracy theorists? Sure! Crazy? You be the judge.

There is a woman who claims she was one of hundreds who bore sons in Kenya, then came to Hawaii over a four year period and developed stories that the children were actually born in America. You know the drill: iffy American birth certificates, birth announcements planted in local Hawaiian newspapers, playing games with the memories of elderly people long after the fact, hush money, suspicious deaths, ridicule of anybody who blows the whistle on the whole scam.

"It was like a lottery," the woman - whose identity would shock you if I was in a position to reveal it - told a reliable source. "One of our children would go on to become President of the United States, the rest would get a pat on the back and American citizenship. Well, why should my son have to spend his life as a janitor while a certain snooty woman's uppity son gets to be President? After all of the sacrifices I - no, all of the Kenyan mothers made, we deserve more!"

Still believe Barack Obama is President? You poor, deluded fool. When the truth is finally accepted, we'll be laughing at you!
