Fighting the War on Error

Comedy on the Roof Top

I found a pretty cool Website this morning, Roof Top Comedy, and after some poking around, I narrowed it down to three clips I thought I'd share. The narrowing wasn't easy, either - there is some seriously funny stuff on this site. Anyway, the usual warnings apply - not suitable for kids, or at work. Enjoy!


This one's pretty funny, but probably only because a black man is saying it. You have to love the title of this clip, too. And take it easy, people - it's a joke. (I'm envisioning some hate mail.)


Very non-PC, but there's more than a kernel of truth in here, too. Any person who has even a passing knowledge of American foreign affairs knows that we went to war in Iraq over oil. Not because of WMD (there weren't any). Not because of Saddam brutalizing his people (we let him get away with it in the 1980s because he was our dictator back then - just ask our National Embarrassment's daddy). Not because Hussein had nuclear weapons (he didn't). And not because of 9-11 (unless you're a member of Bush's cabal, and you have the incurable Saddam was involved in 9-11 fetish). We went there because of oil, and we were told the overt lie that Iraq's oil would help pay for the war, which I find disgraceful. We wonder why the Iraqis hate us - can you imagine a country invading the U.S., and that invader saying "Hey, all the coal in the U.S. will help pay for the war." Yea, we'd be pissed, too.

Wait, I'm talking about comedy here - sorry. It's just that it's kind of hard to laugh about the incalculable harm that the Iraq War has caused, and will continue to cause us, in the decades to come.

So, we have to try and laugh a little about it right now.

And VOTE in November.


This one is just great - the morons who know so little getting all uppity when people slam Bush. Just ask the Dixie Chicks how ignorant some can be. I just got a bumper sticker in the mail that reads, So, the Dixie Chicks were right after all. Damn right they were.

Anyway, there's nothing better than when I get hate mail saying, "Your retarded"* in response to a post I've put up on here. It makes my day, and it also proves who the retarded person really is.

* - Crack a grammar book if you don't get the joke. :o)
