Oh politics...







Oh politics...you make me laugh.

For you consideration;
we put together a few of the things that have made us smile, giggle and out right laugh between all the tears this campaign season ( so far ).

First up a really great video made for the 2016 White House Correspondents Dinner;

Then, Al Franken, Senator from Minnesota once a Saturday Night Live cast member basically quit doing comedy after he entered politics but he put on his stand up comedy hat during the Democratic convention;

Next, check out this fake ad about Hillary Clinton from The Daily Show with Trevor Noah;

The best darned cat themed political thing in 2015/16;

And lastly, it happens every campaign season.
Whether it's a run for city council or an all out run for the presidency, candidates love to borrow hit songs as a way to brand their campaigns.
The problem is that a lot of them don't bother to ask permission and if the songs writer doesn't particularly like the politics of the candidate who has lifted their music and lyrics, this can happen;

  12. FYI, we like Al Franken. Yes, he was a great comedian, but he really works hard on getting things done in Congress, and that is very good for our state. Minnesota. Yea!

  13. The political videos are everywhere! Our lives will only get more packed with them as November gets closer. I can only see the drinking games that will happen this Halloween with everyone dressing up as their favorite (or not so favorite) political figures.
