satire

Politicians provide us with all of the comedy gold. We're only mere curators.

What’s Happening In The Circus Of Politics?
What does it take to be a successful politician? First thing first — you must be a damn good actor Because you need to fight against your urge to show your real thinking

Pro-independent Southern Cameroons in Africa
They were not so lucky these fellow countrymen of the African nation called Cameroon in central part of Africa. Of English-speaking expression, these were the cream of intelligentsia who chose to battle it out with a system that had been moribund from independence because of a culture of complacency fuelled by the active participation of political misfits who were as dull as their half-baked education could permit.

How to Make It on the Misogynist Dominated Tedium
Sexism isn’t sexy or satirical I want to talk about when everyday sexism gets passed off as satire on the internet. But I don’t want to get chewed out about it because life’s too short.

Bureaucracy Gonna Bureaucrat
You are told to stand in line to get the required form, but first get a form from the other line to get permission to stand in line to get the form to get access to other line where you got the permission to get in this line. You have to fill out this form to get permission to fill out the form that you MUST fill out to be clear to fill out the first form. Or you are breaking the law.

If You Didn’t Vote Then Shut Your Mouth
This was first published when America was ruled by a giant orange baby. True story. Did you vote? You did. Do you vote? You do. Good. That’s what I thought.

Talk Radio 1905
I started the company van the other day and was immediately greeted by a bombastic baritone voice booming from the radio. I’m not sure who the speaker was because, to me, they all sound alike. It doesn’t matter if it’s politics or sports, I never listen to talk radio. I want to hear music when I turn on the box, not someone proselytizing.

I love Ford trucks because they bring me closer to my dead grandpa
I'm a real, honest American. I believe in the fundamentals: tradition, adherence to tradition, and taking offense to those who try to improve on tradition. If it was good enough for our forefathers, it's good enough for us. I'm not some statue-toppling leftist who gets their rocks off by erasing the lessons of the past.
