Bush's infamous joke at an elite fundraiser dinner, where he gazed out at his diamond-studded supporters and commented, "This is an impressive crowd—the haves and the have-mores.")  Watch funny video rich people.

Stephen Colbert with a pitchfork
BAILOUTS, BOOSTERS & BUNKERS
Stephen Colbert proves that he is the modern master of satire.... BAILOUTS: After this funny intro to the "AIG bonus" fiasco, Colbert moves on to a VERY funny segment in which the proposed solution for miscreant CEOs is to have them enter into mortal combat in a Thunderdome — with gleeful, screaming taxpayers as spectators.
BOOSTERS: These days, apparently, the best that free-marketeers can come up with is tired references to Ayn Rand's polemic Atlas Shrugged, which this Colbert piece shrugs off quite nicely.
BUNKERS: Hey, we actually think SOME the scenarios explored in Glenn Beck's "War Room" segments —catastrophic economic collapse, for instance—are not at all that far-fetched. But you just have to love Colbert's satirical treatment of Beck's schtick—first with this War Room satire, then the Colbert Report's own "Doom Bunker".

THE ORACLE WITH MAX KEISER
"The Oracle" is a series of weird, witty, wonky—and often outright funny—video shows that Max Keiser did for the BBC in early 2009. Each show has a smart, smirky, spot-on approach to analyzing what's going on in the world of banks, bucks, bailouts, bandits, and bozos. See GoogleVideo for free episodes of The Oracle with Max Keiser. For other, more current Max Keiser video stuff, see his site's video page.

“CLEAN COAL” AIR FRESHENER
This short, funny bit of video satire takes on the loosey-goosey term "clean coal," which the coal industry and its political allies love to pretend is "what we're doing with coal today" rather than "a theoretically possible approach to coal that is completely unproven." In fact, not only are there are no "clean coal" plants operating in the US today, there are none even planned. Repeat after me: "There is no such thing as clean coal." Watch funny clean coal video.

Detroit's big three auto execs riding a junker car in front of capitol hill; click to go to animation page at external site; opens in new window
BIG THREE OWNER’S MANUAL
The situation with the Big Three US auto makers is a bit perplexing. On the one hand, it's obvious that their management is inept and that they failed to correctly perceive ANY of the trends that now rule—whether they be peak oil and convulsing fuel prices; the public demand for hybrids and electric cars; or even the stupidity of carrying large amounts of debt. On the other hand, lots of hard-working guys and gals stand to lose their livelihoods should Detroit stop being Motor City. And it's impossible not to recognize the smallness of what the Big Three asked for when compared to what the Big Boys of Banking got from Uncle Sam—with no strings attached. Ah, well, it's all above our pay grade. We'll just leave it to Mark Fiore to have some animated fun with it. Go there

I Am America
(And So Can You!)

(by Stephen Colbert)

book cover for I Am America (And So Can You!), by Stephen Colbert, 10/9/2007 DESCRIPTION: Stephen Colbert spun his success at The Daily Show into his own half-hour laugh-fest, The Colbert Report, in which he brilliantly satirizes the blow-hard cable-news-talk format. Conservatives seem to like Colbert because he sounds conservative, with 'truthiness' in ample supply. Those on the left appear to love Colbert because hidden in the blustering blather is razor sharp humor that trashes the very opinions he appears to be spouting forth in earnest. With I Am America, Colbert puts rapier to paper, combining funny monologs with lists, illustrations, and charts to take on the tall task of fixing everything that's destroying America—and make us laugh all the while.

101 Funny Things About Global Warming

book cover for 101 Funny Things About Global Warming, by Sidney Harris (and colleagues), 12/26/2007 DESCRIPTION: The effects of global climate change are surely coming. But what are we supposed to do between now and when lower Manhattan is 13 feet below sea level? Well, acclaimed New Yorker cartoonist Sidney Harris and his cartoonist buddies suggest we have a few laughs about global warming and related issues. In 101 Funny Things About Global Warming, the funnies flow faster than the melt water on the Greenland ice sheet, taking on everything from unreliable Hybrid cars and pie-in-the-sky alternative energy sources to head-in-the-sand politicians and the existential crisis of our own biodegradable nature.
