This blog is an experiment - one I'm hoping doesn't blow up in my face like the ones in my old Chemistry class. My goal is to write 10 jokes a day for a year, starting now (6/14/2010 14:08 PST).
Any type of joke is fair game, as is any political figure/party, or public person. I will, however, try to keep it clean. The point is just to see if I can produce 10 amusing pieces per day for 365 days. If you've got any feedback, feel free to post it.
Ready...Set...Go!
Did you hear about this quote attributed to Senator Christopher Dodd by Forbes.com? According to Forbes, Dodd said he would vote against a Republican bill because it would, "restrict home ownership to only those who can afford it." Well, it turns out that the quote was a fake. Forbes got it from a right-wing satirical blog called Semi-News and then published it as fact. So in other words, a made-up quote by a political hack was reported as fact by a legitimate news organization. Or as Fox News calls that, "Fair and Balanced."
According to FactCheck.com, Semi-News is a web version of Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. The only difference is its political slant. Well... that, and it's not funny.
Semi-News, huh? Sounds like a blog for guys who drive big rigs.
I thought it was funny and I drive little car. (Nancy)
