While the Internet and mainstream media has turned its attention to Iran in the past few weeks, it’s almost difficult to see the country in non-political terms. In the name of comedy, The Daily Show sent Jason Jones to Iran to do a series entitled “Behind The Veil”. So far, it’s been a hilarious window […]

Probably inspired by this post, the always creative Nadine sent this to me and I was rolling on the ground laughing by the end of it. This is probably one of the coolest things to come out on the Internet when it comes to these elections. It’s designed to encourage US citizens to vote, but […]

So it’s Thursday (thank God) once again and I’m trying to start a tradition on the Black Iris where the goal is to end the weekday with a smile on your face because I read somewhere that’s supposed to put people in a good mood for the weekend and I’ve always had a pro-weekend agenda. […]

SNL proves why it is still probably the best political satire on American TV (after the Daily Show). After weeks of being impersonated by Tina Fey, Governor Palin shows up on SNL and watches the impersonation live with show creator Lorne Micheals backstage. Soon enough, Mark Wahlberg shows up looking to beat up cast member […]

I found this bit of news pretty interesting. While attempting to create the world’s longest sandwich, a stunt conducted under the guise of encouraging Iranians to eat healthier, Iranians began doing just that. Before Guinness officials could finish measuring, the hungry and chaotic crowd began devouring the rare and expensive ostrich-meat-filled sandwich, completing it in […]

Nothing really. I just enjoy a good Yahoo! misprint…

And now, a brief interruption in the US Presidential campaign…
Nader talks to a parrot (whom I mistook to be his running mate) about media coverage, national health care and of course, dressing up as a panda and making love to another panda at the zoo.

So it’s been the buzz of the Internet these past 24 hours or so: Tina Fey, the ex-head writer for Saturday Night Live returned to the show just to do a dead-on impersonation of Sarah Palin.

It has got to be one of the best political impersonations ever done on SNL and ranks right up there […]

…glorious…so, so glorious…

“We should not even be talking about Sarah Palin because it’s sexist.” Jon Stewart takes on Republicans like Karl Rove for playing the gender card whenever it suits them.
