I’ve been trying to come up with a list of nationalities or ethnic groups—even subgroups—about whom it is still safe to make a joke publicly, since political correctness is shrinking the domain down to the vanishing point. Before long you won’t be able to make jokes about “little green men” from Mars, for fear of offending illegal aliens “undocumented” immigrants. I’m not even sure you can joke about white people any more, like Martin Mull and Allen Rucker did 20 years ago in A History of White People in America. Not even Sony would risk publishing this right now. So...

Neither have we! #4 - How many democrats does it take to change a light bulb? .........

Secretary of State John Kerry told a private audience in April that US ally Israel may wind up becoming an aparthed state.

Joke One: What Do I Look Like? A newlywed couple moves into their new house. One day the husband comes home from work and his wife says, "Honey, you know, in the upstairs bathroom one of the pipes is leaking, could you fix it?" "What do I look like, a plumber?" Asks the husband, and goes to sleep. A few days later, the wife once again turns to her husband and says, "honey, my car doesn't start, I think it may need a new battery, could you change it for me?". "What do I look like, a mechanic?" asks the...

So far I've been pranked by Netflix and Google. I'm on the lookout for some more April Fools in the news.

President Obama pushed back on criticism of his recent appearance with comedian Zach Galifianakis to promote the Affordable Care Act, noting that President Lincoln "loved telling the occasional bawdy joke." The president´s remarks, during an interview with ESPN Radio´s Colin Cowherd that aired Thursday, were an indirect jab at Fox News host Bill O´Reilly, who argued during a segment of his show earlier this month that the 16th president would never have agreed to such an appearance. "First of all, if you read back on Lincoln, he loved telling the occasional bawdy joke and being out among regular folks," Obama

Vice President Joe Biden has now said that there is no reason for him not to run for president except for the fact that he likes driving his own car. 'There may be reasons why I don't run, but there's no obvious reason for me why I think I should not run,' Biden told CNN. Biden, who is 71 and will be 73 at the time of the next election, previously said that he and his wife, Dr Jill Biden, had not had a formal conversation about 2016 and this time he took a different tact in answering the same...

"I have a lot of respect for teachers and what they do, but this was really stupid judgment," said parent Peter To-polovec.
