I'm watching SNL and was wondering the same thing Carol. Last week's opening skit was very similiar.

It's all just a puppet show of their puffed-up corporate candidates -- the corporations control the media and provide funds for campaigns, and more government control, in one continuous flowing system. Look at the major contributors on the Center for Public Integrity website. Anyone who bucks the system, like Ron Paul, just gets ignored or badgered. We really need to overthrow the media establishment -- and fortunately now we have alternative media (especially on the internet). Thomas Sowell described the whole collectivist culture as "self-congratulation as policy." The same people run in the same circles (media, movies, TV, corporations, government, health care) so the institutions just keep getting bigger and more dysfunctional. But eventually their house of cards will fall -- and our more organic social networks will rise to restore American freedom!

I believe the world has gone mad and no one notices except we few. And they won't listen to us because we have no money.

Huckabee was on SNL. Now he's out of the running. Could this be the end of Hillary's run? But wait! Wasn't Obama on SNL, too?

Politics makes strange bedfellows...is all that comes to my mind.

Is it a repeat tonight? I think I saw that one a few weeks ago, unless she's back again. I think they've been fairly pro-Clinton, but at the same time, they had that old castmember come back and do a pro-Obama bit during the little news segment, so who knows what they're up to.

And Huckabee was hilarious.

"They are making Barack Obama look like an untouchable idiot"
I think he does a good enough job doing that himself.

Yep I just set myself up for a weeks worth of trolling *Grin*

Isn't it just a spoof, irony, and saying the opposite of what they mean? Who can tell! They have to make us laugh. I don't they are changing anyone's mind.

I'm so tired of the presidential race starting 2 years before we actually vote ... it's crazy!

Hi Carol,
I'm glad you're back to politicking -- sort of. My new post should give you a rest then!

It's an old one. They ran last night for the 3rd time.

That is because the man is an untouchable idiot and the mainstream media is afraid to touch him because he cries racism every time anybody quetsions his character or judgement. He desn't do candid interviews, only big speeches with no questions and small comments o his plane witha cast of reporters he chose to be there because they adore him. If he gets elected this will be a frigthening time for America. He doesn't like America, nor does his wife, his former pastor or his family. What qualifies him to be president?

Sounds like some intelligent writers over at SNL.I havent watched since the Steve Martin,Chevy Chase and the Blues Brothers days.That said many see Hillary as a strong leader,and yes we know she has flaws,and Obama...just a lot of hot air no matter how sweet sounding that air is.

whatever you think of Hill, the Bosnia lies tells all we need to know or reminded of her. She will say and do anything, and stay firm until debunked.

I saw that last nite, for a few moments, and just shook my head. Im not a fan of the show anymore. I prefer the oringinal cast and show. SNL today to me isn't really that, comical.

Actually, it's a longstanding tradition to book presidential hopefuls on comedy shows -- usually more to benefit the show than the presidential hopeful.
