Political Snark and Humor

Not much happening yesterday, Obama went to Hiroshima and said - what else is new - assinine, wimpy things. What he should have said: "You asked for it at Pearl Harbor, you got it here, and you richly deserved every last megaton and roentgen."

On a lighter note, today I have for you my picks from Steven Hayward's The Week in Pictures from Power Line.

Picture a billboard with an angry Hillary pointing that finger at you as she snarls:
"I lie - just deal with it," the subhead says "Hillary in 2016."

Envision photos, of an Easter bunny with colored eggs, a Santa Claus, a fairy princess with wand, and Bernie Sanders. The caption:
"Popular with kids ... for the same reason."

A photo of the late Billy Mays, famous infomercial pitchman, with this caption above his photo:
"Billy Mays here with democratic socialism."
And this caption below:
"We're offering you famines, breadlines, gulags, and purges,
and if that's not enough, just wait, there's more!"

Three photos, in the first an earnest young boy says to his father:
"But I thought socialism would work."
In the second his father replies:
"I know, son."
In the third the father hugs the sad boy, saying:
"Almost everyone does when they're young."

A simple billboard with this message:
There's a word for people who look at
somebody and don't see a person, but only
a race and gender. That word used to be
"racist," now it's "progressive."

A cartoon of two dinosaurs, talking. The first says:
"Okay, my Mom was eaten by velociraptors, your brother was eaten by velociraptors, and Jeffrey was  eaten by ... guess who? Velociraptors. I'm startin' to see a pattern here, Gary."
To which the second dinosaur replies with scorn:
"Just stop it with the bigoted hate speech, Bill."
