Mean Joe Green #64: Newt Gingrich Admits to Being an Alien

A lot of things make much more sense now. I wonder what planet he comes from. And, more importantly, I wonder why so many republicans cheered when he announced that he is not of this world. How long have they known?!?!
…I’m scared.

Mean Joe Green #56: The Palin Plan–Pipeline to Presidency

Turns out that natural-gas pipeline that Palin boasted about a number of times in her brief stint as VP candidate does not exist.

And the mere fact that she is even considering running in 2012 makes me ill…

…but maybe it’s just gas.
