The smoothest part of his presidency (poem cops)


Ever since casting was announced for Christopher Nolan’s big-budget epic The Odyssey, the right had dismissed it as a “commie woke-fest” due to its diversity. How dare you cast popular actors in fictional roles in a movie adaptation of a poem written 2,700 years ago. —Seth Meyers


Much of the anger was aimed at Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o who had been cast as Helen of Troy, a character who hatched from an egg that was the result of Zeus turning into a swan who had sex with a goddess, or better known as “white lady stuff”. MAGA pundits have suddenly become “poem cops”. —Seth Meyers

The only catch is, the water has to come from the Gulf of Mexico (This could plunge America into a huge crayon shortage)


"Did you see that Mount Olympus-style backdrop they had for Barack Obama's speech, with the big columns on it? Little over the top, do you think, huh? Like, when they introduced him as 'Barack, son of Zeus,' that seemed over the top." --Jay Leno


"Scientists say they have developed a car that can run on water. The only catch is, the water has to come from the Gulf of Mexico." –Jay Leno


"Scientists announced today they have been able to grow rat hearts in a lab. Finally, some good news for Dick Cheney." –Jay Leno


"Sarah Palin and President Bush have new books coming out this fall. You know what that means? This could plunge America into a huge crayon shortage." –Jay Leno

You can bag them without any trouble at all (Think outside the bun)


May 2022

“The Fed raised interest rates by half a percentage point on Wednesday in an effort to curb inflation. After yesterday’s rate hike, the markets went up 932 points. Pretty good. But this morning, as one reporter described it, ‘Investors woke up with a binge-trading hangover.’ Oh, you’ve got to be careful when you binge-trade; otherwise, you could wake up next to a stock you don’t even remember acquiring.” —Stephen Colbert

“Then today, everything went kablooey. The Dow tumbled over 1,000 points, in the worst day of the year so far, eclipsing the previous worst day of the year: every day of the year.” —Stephen Colbert


“Happy Cinco de Mayo. Yeah, it’s that one day when people are excited to hear someone say, ‘I’ve got Corona!’” —Jimmy Fallon

“Meanwhile, today President Biden hosted a Cinco de Mayo reception in the Rose Garden with the first lady of Mexico. Yeah, Biden talked about the warm relationship between the U.S. and Mexico. It’s better than Trump’s message on Cinco de Mayo, which was ‘Think outside the bun.’” —Jimmy Fallon

“In an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network this week in which Donald Trump said ‘nobody has done more for Christianity, nobody has done more for religions of all types, than me’. That’s a bit of a bold statement. But I’ll say this: he’s right about Christianity. For four years he certainly inspired me to say ‘Je-sus’. The ‘religions of all kinds’ bit also makes sense. He’s got the wrath of Yahweh, the destructive power of Shiva, the BMI of Buddha and the sexual assault history of Zeus.” —Stephen Colbert
