Coffee
Hurts
I was
eating lunch on the 20th of February last year with my 3-year-old
granddaughter
and I asked her, “What day is tomorrow?”
She said,
“It’s Presidents’ Day!”
She is a
smart kid, so I asked, “What does Presidents’ Day mean?” I was
expecting
something about Washington or Lincoln, etc.
She
replied, “Presidents’ Day is when President Obama steps out of the
White House,
and if he sees his shadow we have one more year of unemployment.”
You know,
it hurts when hot coffee spurts out of your nose. But what hurts more,
she was
right!
And in the
interest of balance, Verities & Balderdash now offers…
Mitt Romney
Jokes
From
Political Humor
By Daniel
Kurtzman
“Mitt
Romney says he understands the middle
class, and that he knows it’s not easy keeping a roof over your
family’s heads
— as well as vacation roofs in San Diego, New Hampshire, and Park City,
Utah.”
–Jay Leno
“Mitt
Romney says President Obama’s promises are like Kim Kardashian’s
wedding vows.
President Obama shot back. He said Romney’s positions last about half
as long
as a Kim Kardashian wedding.” –Jay Leno
“Many
voters feel that Mitt Romney is out of touch with real Americans after
he tried
to make a bet with Rick Perry for $10,000. When asked to comment, Mitt
said,
‘I’m sorry, but that’s all I had in my pocket at the time.’” –Conan
O’Brien
“You got to
feel bad for poor Mitt Romney. He’s in their plugging every week, and
every
week somebody gets ahead of him. The people who have led Mitt so far:
Donald
Trump, then Michele Bachmann, then Rick Perry, now Herman Cain. He’s
been led
by a reality show star, a crazy lady, a stuttering cowboy, and the guy
who
brings the pizza. That’s gotta hurt a little.” –Bill Maher
“Well, the presidential race
is getting
interesting. In an effort to clear up his reputation as a flip-flopper,
Mitt
Romney will give a speech on health care. And then, right afterward,
he’ll give
a five-minute rebuttal.” —Jay Leno
