Here is something worth remembering as we celebrate Memorial Day: The Department of Veterans Affairs estimates that every 80 minutes a veteran takes his or her own life.The best of recent jokes by late-night comedians:
Bill Maher
“It is Mormon in America again. What a week Mitt Romney had. He won Florida. It looks like he’s on the way to the nomination. If only he could stop talking.”
“Newt Gingrich jumped on Romney’s gaffe. He said he does care about the poor people, he loves the very poor. In fact, under his plan, poor black people would be the first ones he’s sending up to the moon colony.”
Seth Meyers
“At a rally at the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, Donald Trump endorsed Newt Gingrich by endorsing Mitt Romney.”
“Romney won the Florida primary with 47 percent of the vote. Or as it’s known in Florida schools, a B minus.”
Jay Leno
“President Obama spoke at the national prayer breakfast. The president said that his Christian faith is the driving force behind his economic policies. So I guess instead of blaming Bush, it’s now all Jesus’ fault.”
“The House of Representatives has passed a bill that prohibits people from using welfare money in strip clubs or liquor stores. I agree with that. Strip clubs and liquor stores should be off limits for people who get government funds – you know, like congressmen.”
Stephen Colbert
“Rocky is an obvious parallel for Newt. He’s an underdog, a born scrapper, and he is fighting for the chance to be smacked around by a black guy.”
“To all the worrywarts out there who said super PACs were going to lead to a cabal of billionaires secretly buying democracy: Wrong! They are publicly buying democracy.”
