…so says Breitbart concerning his appearance on Bill Maher’s show.

But it is Ben Shapiro who actually nails the technique being used:

But I contend that there’s one objective indicator that Stewart and Maher have lost their ability to be funny: their audience is so stacked that they laugh at clearly unfunny lines – they’re living laugh tracks.

Let me give you an example, I like McHale’s Navy loved it as a kid and have all 4 seasons of it. Tim Conway is just dead funny. Watch the DVD’s and you will laugh a lot. Now watch the McHale’s Navy Movie from 1964. Same actors, same type of comedy but you laugh less, why? No laugh track to carry the marginal jokes.

He can’t even get the Zombie appointment through.

How bad it it appointment-wise for the Obama administration? There is even a scandal involving his new Zombie cabinet position Secretary of Undead Affairs appointment as the Star Village World Inquisitor reports:

An unexpected snag occurred today as members of the senate ethics committee uncovered documents related to Mr. Murman’s death, showing that his family never paid the required death or estate taxes associated with his death. Mr. Murman and his representatives were unavailable for comment on the allegations, brought forth this morning.

The White House is crying discrimination:

“This is precisely the sort of thing that this new post is meant to discourage,” says White House aid Dirk Diggler. “If Murman was a live person, his integrity probably wouldn’t even be questioned. It’s pure bigotry!” Diggler declined to comment on other tax problems Obama appointments have been under scrutiny for, calling it “a coincidence.”

Ted Kennedy however a longtime supporter of the death tax is having none of it:

“It’s bad enough the undead pay no income taxes,” said Senator Ted Kennedy. “er, ah, I mean come on. When you die, you er, ah, need to pay your death taxes. It’s the er, ah, last time you have to pay, and failure to do so is a slap in the face of the living.”

Since reportedly Mr. Murman’s family put the unpaid death taxes in the stock market the funds unfortunately are deader than he is.

My Grandfather who died when I was 4 used to tell this joke before my mother was born. It predates his coming to America in 1906. (more…)

…but his online poll is VERY funny.

Most in need of family time, priceless.
