Political humor is funny because it gets a belly laugh out of many of us – it’s not funny because the message within the humor is real, serious and needs our unbiased attention. These men and women will dish out political humor, one scoop at a time hoping that we’ll get off our duffs and make a difference this year in the presidential elections.
This type of humor has several venues via cartoons, videos, books and TV. For those who are just too busy to follow the candidates and study their platforms, you could opt for a late night show with Letterman, Leno, Stewart and the list goes on... Our political humorists will entertain you and at the same time stimulate your mind.
If you study history starting around the 1800’s and comie forward, you’ll find that our politicians and government are pretty much on track when it comes to bad decisions, poor money management and playing around. Mark Twain and Will Rogers followed Congress every action and didn’t sit around growling about the bad moves being made.
They jumped on a trusty stead and spoke to audiences throughout the US keeping the citizens informed about what was going on in their government. Neither man liked Congress much and didn’t make any bones about it! They didn’t embellish or make up things; they just wrapped the truth up in a good piece of humor and served it to the people, hoping the people would stand up and make some waves.
The same is happening in 2008, our humorists aren’t picking the next president for us – they’re merely saying take a time out here and please choose a president that our country will be proud to support.
Morals, religion, politics in all forms is brought to the forefront in their humor, if you but listen. Tune in this year via our political humorists and find out what candidates straddle the fence and which candidate or candidates speak of family values and morals.
