    YouTube ^ | 4/3/55 | Jack Benny and Groucho Marx
    A clip from the JB Program, from 3 April 1955, featuring the great Marx brother Groucho. It's a parody of You Bet Your Life, the plot being Jack disguising himself to try and pick up "some extra cash." He and his partner are doing great until the last question. After the sketch, Jack and Groucho have a little fun in the closing monologue.

    NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein
    There's that famous scene from A Day At The Races in which a woman keeps urging Groucho Marx to hold her, "closer, closer." Eventually, Groucho says: "If I hold you any closer, I'll be in back of you! Something similar could be said about the liberal media's endless proclamations, as NewsBusters has documented here and here, that the walls are "closing in" on Donald Trump. So, like Groucho with the lady, how much closer can the walls of the potential prosecution of Donald Trump get before they're behind him? Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

    A New York Times analysis found no identifiable tuna DNA in Subway’s tuna sandwich, the newspaper reported over the weekend, citing tests conducted by a commercial lab. The Times bought 60 inches of Subway tuna sandwiches from three different Subway locations in Los Angeles. A reporter for the newspaper then removed and froze the tuna and sent it to an unidentified commercial food testing lab. The newspaper said it paid roughly $500 for the lab to conduct a PCR test to see if the substance had one of five different tuna species. After a month, the lab said it found...

    Duck Soup Marx Brothers Movie | 1933 | Kalmar and Ruby
    I have long been a fan of the Marx Brothers and have found Duck Soup a particular favorite. I enjoy it for the humor but it is viewed by many as biting political satire. Tonight in watching for the first time since Obama took office I found Barack H. Obama's philosophy in Rufus T. Firefly's first song. These are the laws of my administration No one's allowed to smoke (he's holding a cigar) Or tell a dirty joke (fakes whispering to a lady) And whistling is forbidden... (he whistles) If chewing gum is chewed (he pretends to chew gum) The...

    Live from New York...it's Barack Obama!On the banks of the Hudson River at West Point, Obama will give his military strategy for Afghanistan, based on the tactical genius of Capt.

    The ideal father is hardworking, fun-loving, a good provider, understanding, wise, sometimes stern and, above all, inspiring. Yet a century ago, the popular image of the father was less radiant. Groucho Marx observed that in those days, there were many hymns to motherhood, but "nobody ever wrote any song about fathers. Father was the town schlemiel in almost every place."

    North Star Writers Group ^ | November 12, 2007 | Herman Cain
    I know I am not the only person who sees the blatant strategy of the Democratic leaders in Congress, which is to continue to ignore the best interests of the American people for the sake of political power. They refuse to acknowledge anything that goes right, or pass any legislation that might suggest that President Bush is doing something right. The “surge strategy” in Iraq is working according to numerous reports, including some of the most noticeably liberal media establishments. But the Democrats only want to focus on the casualties, the mishandling of the war and the costs of the...
  • Bush-As-Groucho Posters Spark Furor At High School

    05/28/2005 2:30:05 AM PDT · by kingattax · 18 replies · 775+ views
    LOS ANGELES -- Posters that depicted President Bush with a Groucho Marx-style mustache and cigar were ordered torn down at a high school after a student complained. Theater students, who had created the posters to advertise a satirical play, countered with new posters with a First Amendment message. Principal Kenny Lee ordered 100 posters removed from the campus of El Camino Real High School in the Woodland Hills area last week on grounds that they promoted smoking and "endorsing one ideology over another." "That's our take on the student speech and conduct," Lee said. The school-funded posters advertised the students'...

    Group of Grouchos tries to set record Silly gathering at car show is no joke By Liz Neely UNION-TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER May 19, 2005 EL CAJON – From beauty queens in sparkling crowns to police officers on horseback, more than 1,000 people donned a pair of Groucho Marx-style glasses last night to help break a world record. The costumed attempt helped jump-start the opening night of downtown El Cajon's weekly summer car show, Cajon Classic Cruise. Dressing as Marx wasn't enough for Carl Atkinson of Crest. He disguised his 1938 Chevrolet as the actor and comedian. Atkinson's blue-and-white custom car...
