Politicians are not necessarily or automatically evil. Instead, they screw up in large part because of perverse incentives.
That being said, they should be mocked rather than admired (with St. Ronald being the obvious exception).
With that in mind, let’s enjoy another edition of politician humor.
We’ll start with a potential fringe benefit of facial recognition software.
Next we have some evidence that cattle may be smarter than people.
Our third item is a joke from George Carlin.
I thought about using this meme for one of my columns about “statism in images,” but the second frame leads me to think it mostly about mocking elected officials.
P.S. Last October, I wrote a two-part series about America’s venal political class (see here and here).
P.P.S. If you want more political humor, click here, here, here, and here. I also have satirical columns about selected politicians (Biden, Trump, Sanders, Bill and Hillary Clinton, and Obama).
I didn’t like many of the things Trump did (his wasteful spending and his protectionist tax increases) and I don’t like many of the things Biden is doing (his pork-filled stimulus and his infrastructure boondoggle).
So hopefully you’ll understand why I’m not fond of politicians.
And this is why I shared some mockery of politicians yesterday and why I’m going to augment that collection with some more satire targeting our ruling class today.
We’ll start with an idea that might finally end the pandemic.
Next, there are discussions about UFOs and why aliens haven’t made their presence known.
I think we now have a good explanation.
Our third item illustrates the difference between political rhetoric and political reality.
Last but not least, if Godzilla and his friends decide to pillage Washington, they better make sure they don’t have allergies.
P.S. If you like mocking the political class, I have lots of other material for you to enjoy. You can read about how the men and women in DC spend their time screwing us and wasting our money. We also have some examples of what people in Montana, Louisiana, Nevada, and Wyoming think about big-spending politicians. This little girl has a succinct message for our political masters, here are a couple of good images capturing the relationship between politicians and taxpayers, and here is a somewhat off-color Little Johnny joke.
Speaking of risqué humor, here’s a portrayal of a politician and lobbyist interacting. Returning to G-rated material, you can read about the blind rabbit who finds a politician. And everyone enjoys political satire, as can be found in these excerpts from the always popular Dave Barry. Let’s not forgot to include this joke by doctors about the crowd in Washington. And last but not least, here’s the motivational motto of the average politician.
