So, it proves what I've been saying about this conflict all along -- it's a win-win (but let's not think about it)


"The ground fighting is only one front in the war between Israel

and Hezbollah. There's also the propaganda war. Today

Hezbollah claimed the month of fighting represented divine

victory. Israel claimed it had achieved many of its military

objectives. So, it proves what I've been saying about this

conflict all along -- it's a win-win." --Jon Stewart


"The stem cell research bill passed both houses of Congress, but yesterday, the president vetoed the bill surrounded by the so-called snowflake children. So named because no two are alike, and they're all white. Snowflake children are the product of frozen embryos that were adopted rather than discarded. They were there to illustrate why embryonic stem cell research is wrong, even though those children wouldn't exist if not for intensive embryonic research, but let's not think about it." --Jon Stewart

She's used to being around criminals (Hey, join the club)


"Earlier today, British Petroleum began this operation known as 'top kill,' which comes on the heels of their previous operations, 'fish kill' and 'bird kill.'" –Jay Leno


"And during a speech at a high school, former President George W. Bush said he's really enjoying the fact that he's no longer president. Hey, join the club." --Jay Leno


"And during her confirmation hearings, Judge Sotomayor is going to get tough questions from the senators. But I think she'll be fine. I mean, this is a woman who spent her whole life in the courtroom, so she's used to being around criminals." --Jay Leno

Worse, the signature reads, ‘Dear Harlan, Big fan. Adolf.’ (no questions asked)


April 2023

A new report claims that for decades, Clarence Thomas and his wife went on luxury trips paid for by republican mega-donor and whitest guy with the blackest name, Harlan Crow. Justice Thomas accepted the free trips the same way he approaches working on the Supreme Court, with no questions asked. —Colin Jost

It was also revealed today that Harlan Crow has a vast collection of Nazi memorabilia, including a copy of Mein Kampf signed by Hitler. Worse, the signature reads, ‘Dear Harlan, Big fan. Adolf.’ —Colin Jost

Florida governor Ron DeSantis, who always looks like someone told him to go home and get his shine box, signed a bill that allows Florida residents to carry concealed guns without a permit. Because Florida is dangerous, and you just never know when someone is going to run up to you and say, ‘Gay.’ —Colin Jost

A woman who has been traveling the world says she’s gone on 34 first dates in nearly 20 countries. Her secret? She’s being sex trafficked. —Colin Jost

but that is where the similarities end (Thanks a lot, Celine Dion!)



 Just days after legalizing marijuana all across Canada, store owners throughout the country say their supply of weed is almost gone. All of Canada’s weed has been smoked. Thanks a lot, Celine Dion!” --James Corden

During the Detroit Marathon, a pair of runners stopped at the halfway point to get married. Then they continued on with the race. Yeah, nothing says the most romantic day of your life like matching sets of chafed nipples. --James Corden


In a 60 Minutes interview Donald Trump was asked about some very serious foreign policy issues to which he responded, “I’m not a baby! I know these things.” You know. How all president’s respond to tough questions. Trump was like, “Sure I may throw tantrums, communicate mostly in gibberish, and occasionally wet the bed, but that is where the similarities end.” --James Corden

Am I the most handsome candidate in history? (He prepared for debates by watching Friday the 13th)


Donald Trump will be holding a Q and A session on the online message board Reddit during the Democratic Convention this week — though Trump’s Q and A will be unique in that he will both ask and answer the questions. “Am I the most handsome candidate in history? Interesting question, thanks for asking. I will say, a lot of people think so.” –Seth Meyers


"Today marks the last day before Congress takes its summer recess. They're taking five weeks off. Five weeks. I hope they can get used to doing nothing." –Seth Meyers


In a recent interview, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau revealed that he watched clips from the popular TV show “The West Wing” to prepare for debates. While Donald Trump prepared for debates by watching “Friday the 13th.” –Seth Meyers

Yeah, yeah, whatever. Drunk vampire, what do you think? (Parable of the Talents)


June 2022

“During the House committee hearing Monday on the January 6th assault on the Capitol, Jason Miller, former aide to Donald Trump, told the panel that Rudy Giuliani was “definitely intoxicated” on election night when he told the former president that the election had been stolen. You know, when you think about it, it makes sense that Trump would listen to a drunk person, because that’s the one time people probably sound like him.” —Trevor Noah


“So we’re just going to blame this entire thing on the alcohol?” —James Corden

“I can’t believe this. A drunk Rudy Giuliani told Trump to claim he won the election. And then he said, ‘I love you, man’ six times and dropped his phone in the toilet.” —James Corden


“They were all telling him, ‘You lost this election, sir,’ but Trump was like: ‘Yeah, yeah, whatever. Drunk vampire, what do you think?’” —Trevor Noah

How about giving your employees a raise, you deluded nitwit? (Choose your leaders wisely)


"African American Congressman Bobby Rush wore a hoodie on the floor of Congress to make a point this week. And they threw him out. They said a hoodie is too scary for Congress. Too scary? Have you ever looked into Michele Bachmann's eyes?" –Bill Maher


"We learned this week that Mitt Romney is building a car elevator in his house. An elevator for your cars. I get the feeling this guy wants to be president so he has a place to live while he's remodeling his beach house." –Bill Maher


​​"50 years ago, America's biggest employer was General Motors, where workers made the modern equivalent of $50 dollars an hour. Today, America's biggest employer is Walmart, where the average wage is $8 dollars an hour. And Walmart released their annual report this month, and in it was the fact that most of what Walmart sells is food. And most of their customers need food stamps to pay for it. Meanwhile, Walmart's owners are so absurdly rich that one of them, Alice Walton, spent over a billion dollars building an art museum in Bentonville, Arkansas, 500 miles away from the nearest person who ever would want to look at art. And she said about it, 'For years I've been thinking about what we can do as a family that can really make a difference.' How about giving your employees a raise, you deluded nitwit?" –Bill Maher


"Billionaire Sheldon Adelson had a little party in Vegas this weekend to audition Republican presidential candidates, and they all came to kiss his ass: Jeb Bush, Scott Walker, John Kasich. Chris Christie came, and while he was in Vegas he went over to the New York, New York hotel and shut down traffic on the miniature Brooklyn Bridge." –Bill Maher
