Brilliant satire from the Minnesota Senator, circa his SNL days. It comes as no surprise to those familiar with Franken, he's turning out to be an even better Senator than he was a comedian.

A true progressive -- we can't get enough of that, these days.

The satirists at Saturday Night Live melded a trailer for '2012' with what would amount to a very real political disaster: A Palin Presidency! Hilarious.

Fortunately, this is as close as she'll ever get.

Sibel Edmonds, a 32-year-old Turkish-American, was hired as a translator by the FBI shortly after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 because of her knowledge of Middle Eastern languages. She was fired less than a year later in March 2002 for reporting shoddy work and security breaches to her supervisors that could have prevented those attacks.

"Obama, WHY!"

A hilarious bit of health care debate satire from Will Ferrel at FunnyOrDie.com.

FunnyOrDie, you may recall, is also the home of the Drunk History series, which I've featured here in the past.

Wise -- The surname is fitting.

Wise explains why Obama can't combat racism without help, and aptly points out that those advocating for a "return to the values of our founders" tend to exclude the negative, racist elements of American history.
