I've been receiving a lot of cute Halloween jokes and wonder if all you FReepers are getting them also.Here are a few that I like: "> "> "> ">

Q: Why does Barack Obama oppose the Second Amendment? A: It stands between him and the First. Q: What's the difference between Rahm Emanuel and a carp?

MONTREAL — As George W. Bush joked with a business crowd inside a historic hotel ballroom Thursday, hundreds of people outside the room cheered while he was being burned in effigy. Police in riot gear and others on horseback held back a crowd of hundreds, including several people who tossed shoes at the Queen Elizabeth hotel in a demonstration of disdain for the man speaking inside. Two protesters tried forcing their way through the line of shield-and baton-carrying police, were wrestled to the ground, and arrested. Ironically, this anti-war protest took place outside the same hotel where the ultimate anti-war...

"President Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. The committee said they gave it gave it to Obama partly for his idealism and commitment to global cooperation, but mostly for calling Kanye West a jackass." -Conan O'Brien --- Q. Why did Jay Leno vote for Barack Obama? A. Because he was running out of George Bush jokes. Q. Why did David Letterman vote for Barack Obama? A. Because he was running out of Jay Leno's George Bush jokes. --- A woman applying for a job in a Florida lemon grove seemed to be far too qualified for the job. The...

The Pope went on vacation for a few days to visit the rugged mountains of Alaska. He was cruising along the campground in the PopeMobile when he heard a frantic commotion just at the edge of the woods. He found a helpless liberal wearing shorts, sandals, a 'Vote for Obama' hat and a 'Save the Trees' shirt. The man was screaming and struggling frantically, thrashing all about and trying to free himself from the grasp of an 8-foot grizzly bear. As the Pope watched in horror, a group of conservatives, wearing 'Palin 2012' shirts, came racing up. One quickly fired...

SARAROGHA, Pakistan – Flanked by heavily armed fighters, the new leader of the Pakistani Taliban sat on a blue blanket, amiable and relaxed as he cracked jokes and mixed in threats of vengeance for deadly U.S. airstrikes. One day later, a suicide bomber attacked a U.N. office in Islamabad. Hakimullah Mehsud met with reporters Sunday for the first time since winning control of the militant group, quashing speculation that he had been slain in a succession struggle following the killing of his predecessor in a U.S. drone attack. He also described his group's relationship to al-Qaida as one of "love...

Alleged comedian Bill Maher followed in the footsteps of shock jock Don Imus with a "ho" joke, this one targeting Michelle Obama. It came in the context of Maher accusing DRUDGE of "subliminal racism" by posting a headline that read "Poll Hell: Obama Negs Rise." After trying to stretch "Negs" to represent the "n" word, provoking laughter from only a few among his audience, Maher showed several ficticious DRUDGE headlines. One fine one displayed Michelle Obama working with a garden tool in what may have been a ceremonial tree planting. The made-up caption read "Hoein' The Garden." That provoked groans...

When I was a young teenager, I would like to pick up Reader’s Digest and steal a joke from the digest to share with others. I imagined myself a Johnny Carson. Of course that was long time ago, and now I am excited about Jay Leno’s new show and have marked down the date so that I can record the show for a keepsake to share with others. Lately I heard that Reader’s Digest is going bankrupt. Not sure of all the details, but it this came to mind when I noticed a Reader’s Digest for sale at the check...

1. In my many years I have come to a conclusion that one useless man is a shame, two is a law firm and three or more is a congress. -- John Adams 2. If you don't read the newspaper you are uninformed, if you do read the newspaper you are misinformed. -- Mark Twain 3. Suppose you were an idiot.. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But then I repeat myself. -- Mark Twain 4. I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and...

Ed Klein, former editor for Newsweek and New York Times Magazine, was a close personal friend of Ted Kennedy and decided to share some memories of the late Senator on The Diane Rehm Show. KLEIN: I don't know if you know this or not, but one of his favorite topics of humor was indeed Chappaquiddick itself. And he would ask people, "Have you heard any new jokes about Chappaquiddick?" That is just the most amazing thing. It's not that he didn't feel remorse about the death of Mary Jo Kopechne, but that he still always saw the other side of...

This isn't an accusation from Ted Kennedy's political opponents, but a nostalgic remembrance by one of his friends. Ed Klein, former Newsweek editor, tells the Diane Rehm Show: "I dont know if you know this or not, but one of his favorite topics of humor was indeed Chappaquiddick itself. And he would ask people, have you heard any new jokes about Chappaquiddick? That is just the most amazing thing. Its not that he didnt feel remorse about the death of Mary Jo Kopechne, but that he still always saw the other side of everything and the ridiculous side of things,...

One of Sen. Ted Kennedy's favorite topics of humor was the incident at Chappaquiddick Island, Mass., in 1969 in which he drove off a bridge and left behind a 28-year-old woman who drowned, according to a biographer who reminisced about the iconic Democrat on a Washington, D.C., talk show this morning. Edward Klein, speaking to WAMU guest host Katty Kay, said one of Kennedy's "favorite topics of humor was, indeed, Chappaquiddick." "He would ask people, 'Have you heard any new jokes about Chappaquiddick?'" said Klein, a former Newsweek foreign editor and former editor in chief of the New York Times...

On the day of Senator Kennedy's death, this site published an article about the Democrats exploiting the Senator's death to push Obamacare. The title of the article, "Lets Kill Grandma for Teddy Kennedy," was met with some derision as some readers felt that it did not pay proper respect for the dead. The gallows humor sometimes displayed on this site is nothing compared to what the Senator used himself. Apparently one of his favorite humor subjects was Chappaquiddick, the incident 40 years ago where the Senator drove off a bridge, saved himself and allowed a young woman to die in...

Comedian sued over mother-in-law jokes Tuesday, August 25, 2009 1:50 PM By John Rogers ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES -- "Take my mother-in-law -- please," isn't a joke you're likely to hear often these days from Sunda Croonquist. The veteran comic is being sued by her mother-in-law after making her the punchline of too many jokes.

I started a site dedicated to making fun of liberals, but I need help finding jokes about liberals, Obama specifically, politically related jokes, etc. I'll start things out with a couple: Q: What’s the difference between Obama and his dog, Bo? A: Bo has papers. Q. Why doesn’t Barack drink Pepsi? A. He thinks that things go better with coke. The Department of Defense briefed the president this morning. They told President Obama that two Brazilian soldiers were killed in Iraq. Visibly shaken, he put his head in his hands and rocked from side to side for a moment. Finally,...

U.S. Marine squad was marching north of Fallujah when they came upon an Iraqi terrorist, badly injured and unconscious. On the opposite side of the road was an American Marine in a similar but less serious state. The Marine was conscious and alert and as first aid was given to both men, the squad leader asked the injured Marine what had happened. The Marine reported, "I was heavily armed and moving north along the highway here, and coming south was a heavily armed insurgent. We saw each other and both took cover in the ditches along the road. I yelled...

This is from an e-mail I recieved: The real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments posted in a courthouse is this: You cannot post 'Thou Shalt Not Steal,' 'Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery,' and 'Thou Shall Not Lie' in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians; it creates a hostile work environment. This joke is from notoriouslyconservative.com, but I also have a jokes site, dedicated to making fun of Obama and liberals, http://makingfunofliberals.blogspot.com/

There are no really good Obama jokes out there, they are just too hard to find. I would like to have some funny ones to post on my site (notoriouslyconservative.com), so please share your best jokes. No racist ones though, we don't want the thread shut down.

Letterman's defense of his rape jokes are about as sincere as Barack Hussein Obama's Christian claims. He's only playing the usual liberal "CYA" routine because he now realized that these jokes belonged in the humor section of Teen Rape Monthly Along with the realization that that he and the world know damn well he would never get away with telling such sick jokes about any liberal petri dish created children, and even in apologizing he still mocks the Palin family and middle America. 2 Video's contained in original Letterman Apology.Zeigler Brewer interview

Actor Alec Baldwin's joke about getting a Filipino mail-order bride provoked a sharp response in the Philippines, with one senator saying Monday that the "30 Rock" star faces violence if he ever visits. Baldwin, 51, who is divorced with a teenage daughter, said in a May 12 interview on "The Late Show" with David Letterman that he would love to have more children. The Emmy-winning actor quipped that he was "thinking about getting a Filipino mail-order bride at this point ... or a Russian one."

Silly stuff.Enjoy

In a time of economic crisis, and in the absence of effective political opposition, there is derision — of those in power, especially the king. That is not to say that revolution is around the corner, but simply that humor punctures power and helps to cure a sense of powerlessness. This elected king, the French president, Nicolas Sarkozy, with his aggressive personality, is a seemingly endless fount of material for the satirists, whose increasing boldness is a sign of deeper unhappiness with the government as it struggles with rising unemployment and worker anger. “We comedians are lucky to have someone...

It was once said that an African-American would become president "when pigs fly." Well, 100 days into the Obama presidency... Swine Flu! Tip o'the hat to Susanna, Borat, Allen, Teresa and Jill A woman in a hot-air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered her altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to him, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am." The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, "You're in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above...

I know some jokes, but I don't know any good political jokes!! Could everyone post some good jokes here? Thanks, A_cool_guy

How about a thread to list the various April Fools jokes we've found/will find today?

Scientists have explained why the best jokes are the hardest to remember, while the worst are easily called to mind. The greatest jokes work by subverting usual thought patterns, making them less memorable but funnier, according to new research. A final twist and surprise in the joke makes us remember the punchline, but forget the run-up to the gag. In contrast, the structure and punchlines of cliched gags are so predictable it makes them easy to recall. Robert Provine, professor of psychology at Maryland University, who is writing a book on laughter, said: "What makes a joke successful is also...

Do you realize that President Obama probably signed his stimulus package at the same desk where President Clinton got his package stimulated? This was written on a hand held sign at the Tea Party in Columbia MO. Nancy and Barack, sittin' in a tree, P-O-R-K-I-N-G. Even though Obama is letting all the terrorists go free, he plans to keep the Guantánamo Bay Detention Camp active by filling it with AIG executives. Barack Hussein Obama walks into a bar with a parrot on his shoulder. The bartender says, "Hey, where did you get that?" The parrot says, "Kenya." The new Obama...

Its hard to get an automobile in the soviet union. They are owned mainly by elite bureaucrats. It takes an average of 10 years to get a car. 1 out of 7 families owned automobiles.

Writers for the Daily Show, Colbert and Letterman concur: Obama presidency will lead to the end of comedy

Writers for late-night television shows, including The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, have lamented recently that they would love to bust President-elect Barack Obama's chops more. But fear of a politically correct backlash and a lack of major stumbles to date on Obama's part make him a tough topic. Stand-up comedians, though, say Obama is fair game. ''Those TV writers have to worry about ratings. They don't like boos or groans from the audience. We thrive off of it,'' said Lisa Lampanelli, a comic famous for her no-topic-is-off-limits policy, and her obsession with...

Q: How many Obama voters does it take to change a lightbulb? A: None. Hoping that it would change is quite enough. Q: How many autoworkers does it take to change a lightbulb?

Q: How many Democrats does it take to change a lightbulb? A: It's burnt out on the Republican side, so we're not changing it. Q: How many MSM journalists does it take to...

When Obama and tax collectors meet, they wink at each other. Under an Obama presidency the IRS will be more diligent about detecting red flags, like leftover money in your bank account after you pay your taxes. Have you ever noticed how Obama thinks nothing is impossible as long as somebody else has to pay for it? Obama said "NO" to drugs, but they must not have heard him. The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average Obama voter. (Tip o'the hat to Winston Churchill.) The Obama administration respects our property; they merely wish the property...

Poland has been forced to deny its foreign minister 'joked' that President-Elect Barack Obama's grandparents were cannibals. Writing in his blog, Mr Czarnecki, an MEP, quoted the foreign minister as saying: "Have you heard that Obama may have a Polish connection? His grandfather ate a Polish missionary." A spokesman for the Polish foreign office conceded that Mr Sikorski had made the controversial comment, but denied that the foreign minister had intended to insult Mr Obama, whose father was Kenyan. Donald Tusk, the Polish prime minister, has made no comment on the affair. It appears that Mr Sikorski's position is not...

t's long been held that the old jokes are the best jokes - and Monty Python's Dead Parrot sketch is no different. A classic scholar has proved the point, by unearthing a Greek version of the world-famous piece that is some 1,600 years old. A comedy duo called Hierocles and Philagrius told the original version, only rather than a parrot they used a slave. It concerns a man who complains to his friend that he was sold a slave who dies in his service. His companion replies: "When he was with me, he never did any such thing!" The joke...

A DIRECT ancestor of Monty Python's renowned "Dead Parrot" sketch has been found in a book of jokes dating back to Greece in the fourth century AD. A new English translation of Philogelos: The Laugh Addict contains a joke in which a man complains that a slave he has just bought has died. "By the gods," answers the slave's seller, "when he was with me, he never did any such thing." In the Python sketch, written 16 centuries later, the shopkeeper claims the parrot, a "Norwegian Blue," is not dead, but just "pining for the fjords."

Q. Why will Obama hold a séance once he's in the White House? A. So that he can thank everybody who voted for him.

What will America's national bird be when Obama takes office? A. His middle finger. Obama's staff is preparing for his first press conference as President. They're busy writing the questions. Q. What will the difference be between President Obama and Karl Marx? A. Nobody knows. Unlike former Presidents,...

U.S. President-elect Barack Obama's historic victory does not bode well for comedians who have thrived on jokes about President George W. Bush, experts say. Obama, who was backed by many Hollywood figures, will be inaugurated on January 20 as the United States' first black president against a backdrop of a global financial crisis and wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Whether because he was the favorite of left-leaning comics, the historic nature of his election or that so far he has made few gaffes, comedians are finding little to joke about so far.

While Americans choose their next president, let us consider a question more amenable to science: Which candidate's supporters have a better sense of humor? We began by asking nearly 300 people in Boston to rate the following three attempts at humor: A) Jake is about to chip onto the green at his local golf course when a long funeral procession passes by. He stops in midswing, doffs his cap, closes his eyes and bows in prayer. His playing companion is deeply impressed. "That's the most thoughtful and touching thing I've ever seen," he says. Jake replies, "Yeah, well, we were...

Having started my day by checking out the news and opinion on Free Republic, I'm depressed. This is no way to start the day, so I'm going to throw out some of the Obama jokes I've heard and a few I've made up on my own. Add to it. Nothing gets under the skin of the left like humor at their expense. What did Barack Obama ask when he learned that Russia invade Georgia? Is South Carolina next? What's the difference between Sarah Palin and Barack Obama? One is a well dressed, attractive piece of eye-candy. The other kills her...
