Isn't "The Simpsons" singular?

JESUS AND THE DEMOCRAT ... A Republican man in a wheelchair entered a restaurant one afternoon and asked the waitress for a cup of coffee. He looked across the restaurant and asked, "Is that Jesus sitting over there?" The waitress nodded "yes," so the Republican requested that she give Jesus a cup of coffee, on him. The next patron to come in was a Libertarian, with a hunched back. He shuffled over to a booth, painfully sat down, and asked the waitress for a cup of hot tea. He also glanced across the restaurant and asked, "Is that Jesus, over there?" The waitress nodded, so the Libertarian asked her to give Jesus a cup of hot tea, "My treat." The third patron to come into the restaurant was a Democrat on crutches. He hobbled over to a booth, sat down and hollered, "Hey there honey! How's about gettin' me a cold mug of Budweiser?" He too looked across the restaurant and asked, "Isn't that God's boy over there? The waitress nodded, so the Democrat directed her to give him a cold beer. "On my tab," he said loudly. As Jesus got up to leave, he passed by the Republican, touched him and said, "For your kindness, you are healed." The Republican felt strength come back into his legs, got up, and walked out the door, thankful to Jesus. Jesus passed by the Libertarian, touched him and said, "For your kindness, you are healed." The Libertarian felt his back straightening-up, and grateful to the Lord, he raised his hands, praised the Lord, and walked out the door. Then, Jesus walked towards the Democrat, just smiling.
The Democrat jumped up and yelled, "Don't touch me...I'm collecting disability." --

Both really fell apart near the end, frankly.

I have never understood how old people cursing is supposed to be funny, but the thought of someone like my grandmother cockpunching a politician is pretty delightful.

If Mitt doesn't get cock-punched in this life, we could always visit the temple to be cock-punched by proxy. Unfortunately, his spirit will have the option to deny the cock-punch.

If and when I get old, I want to be as cool as those codgers, but I do love the broccoli obama or MEAT ROMNEY!

I'm stressing out, yo. Ohio and Florida early numbers are weak and Colorado is way too close. Romney can win the first two along with New Hampshire as long as Obama keeps Colorado, with the other swing states going as expected. That includes Romney getting Virginia and Obama barely squeaking by with Michigan. I don't think the others are that close. The last few polls have shown Obama ahead in New Hampshire, but only by two or three. I'm falling to pieces over here. The election has taken over my life.

" I can't wait until the election is over so we can stop pretending that political "humor" is funny ."

best thing you've typed since that bit about getting lost on mercer island.

Both were disappointing but the second one beat my expectations.

You forgot to include the option of the Joss Whedon zombie apocalypse video being funnier than both of those combined.
