I found this SNL sketch about an Obama/Jintao press conference very funny.

I can't be the only one who finds this story funny. According to a woman who says she was kept against her will as Bin Laden's mistress in 1996, Osama was obsessed with Whitney Houston. She says he talked often about having Bobby Brown killed and taking Whitney as one of his wives. Two things come…
At least when it comes to politics, Saturday Night Live has been pretty funny so far this season:
The resemblance is uncanny. I have to admit, also, that SNL did a pretty good job parodying the first Presidential debate, too, given that the writers and comics had only a little more than 24 hours…
It is widely understood that philosophers aren't as a rule, intentionally funny. Partly this is because we are often old fogies whose sense of humour was formed in the early Jurassic. Mostly it's because when you deal with the absurd professionally, you tend not to find the funny side of things.…
Thanks to Fishy Fred for tracking down Bravo's list of the top 100 comedy movies of all time. I caught part of it and wanted to comment on the list. For the most part, I thought the list was abysmal. Four Weddings and a Funeral no higher than 96? Preposterous. Dr. Strangelove only at 53? No way.…
I agree...very funny.
It's hilarious. Has SNL attacked Obama that hard before? I've not watched SNL for a long time but that's some great political commentary like they used to do. I'd liked the "I've not done anything" sketch from earlier this year as well.
yeah. they made fun of obama a few weeks ago for not getting anything done.
But it's still way too long. They should get rid of the "live" and focus on those digital shorts.
since i don't own a TV i only watch the online clips. though since 2004, when i gave up the t00b, not "owning a TV" is starting to become meaningless. the main difference is that i have to seek out episodes or shows which i hear buzz about, and it's easier for me to avoid acting on that behavior because of the barriers.
Pretty funny, but maybe they are pulling a mercantilist move with their economic policies, as I have heard suggested in some quarters. Even if mercantilism is not beneficial normally, maybe it is beneficial when there are many rich countries in the world, and you lead the one large country that has yet to even approach its economic potential, and you are wholly liberated from the bad policies of Mao that caused this situation. Its not implausible that few would notice this possibility, because it makes no sense unless you hold the non-PC belief that China has way more economic potential than almost all other poor countries.
Here's another good one: Transcript of Obama's speech before President Hu Jintao as translated by Grant Miller Media.
