Really Bad Obama Joke


Ben Avery Cannot Draw #1
by Ben Avery

The man in the first panel is the United States' president Barrack Obama.

The man in the second panel is Germany's president Horst Kohler.

The quote in the first panel is word for word from Mr. Obama's speech last night.

The quote in the second panel is word for word from . . . well, a lot of places.

The car was invented in Germany, of course.

Yeah, it's dumb, I know. The word play just flowed so well in my head, I had to do something with it.

History in the Making . . . and . . .

I'm watching the inauguration on Hulu. I love Hulu.

They're streaming Fox News' coverage, ad free, online.

"Ad free"? Well, sort of. I had to watch a 30 second commercial for Paul Blart: Mall Cop.

And with each moment, beneath the image of former presidents greeting each other, beneath the image of the cheering crowds, beneath the commentators speaking about how an African American is going to be sworn in as president, beneath the color guard bringing in the flags, is this banner:

Classy, Hulu. Classy, Fox.

Question: Is nothing sacred? Answer: Yes. Nothing is sacred.

I watching history. I'm being watched back by Paul Blart: Mall Cop.

To Rev. Jesse Jackson -- an open letter

Dear Rev. Jackson,

"Character is what you do when you think no one else is watching."

Sincerely,
