BARACK OBAMA IS THE HOTTEST JEW SINCE ERIC BANA IN ‘MUNICH’: According to 1 percent of respondents to a Pew research poll, Barack Obama is not a fire-breathing Muslim or a wingnut Christian but in fact a nice Jewish boy, just like Sammy Davis Junior. [Pew Research Center via The Plank]


Bob Barr On Target To Ruin John McCain’s Life

Monday, July 7th, 2008

Spoilers.Bob Barr looks like Reverend Jeremiah Wright and will probably cost John McCain the election, and for these two reasons alone Barack Obama makes love to Bob Barr’s voodoo doll in his hyperbaric Hope chamber every night. You see, 6% of Zogby poll respondents said they would vote for the Libertarian candidate for president, and this is the exact size of the margin Obama leads by. Score one for Liberty! MORE »


Barack Obama Is American President Of Europe!

Monday, June 2nd, 2008

Greetings Mr PresidentEvery four years, Europeans get mad at Americans because only stupid ignorant U.S. citizens get to elect their president (who is always George W. Bush). So this year our friends overseas were delighted to participate in a meaningless poll conducted by the Telegraph, which showed conclusively that your average bewhiskered European hausfrau is just as hot for Barack Obama as millions of recently graduated American college seniors. But who digs Obama the most? The answer may shock you! MORE »

This kid just got redeployed to Iraq, againA new Harris Interactive poll confirms that America is one big Gloomy Gus convention these days, with people bellyaching about The Economy and The War and Our Incompetent Congress and what’s his face, the guy who’s always off humping bunnies. Look outside the window, America! Do you not see the beautiful sun shining? Oh, you don’t have a window because the bank took it away? Well, look at the sun shining outside your spacious cardboard box! MORE »


Are You As Dumb As America’s Smartest College Kids?

Wednesday, April 9th, 2008

America.According to some sad professor, America’s college freshmen are the dumbest, most vapid bunch of hapless fools in World History. They are so stupid that even the smartest of them — the top 10% of high school graduates with the high SAT scores — believe extraordinary rendition is a “version of a movie or play.”

If you’re thinking, “Ha ha, I can’t possibly be that stupid,” then take our fun quiz based on this cranky professor’s cranky essay. MORE »


GOP Voters Having More Sex … But Sex With What?

Friday, January 11th, 2008

A shocking new study proves that Republican voters are having more sex than their Democratic counterparts, but Democrats are having less sex with more people, and everybody is basically watching pornography day and night, and both the right and left would happily let themselves be sodomized by the new president, in the White House, as long as that president is “attractive” to the kind of people who vote.

31% of Americans Have No Idea Who’s Running the Country

Monday, April 16th, 2007

'The lesson is, Never try.' - WonketteNearly a third of Americans don’t know Dick Cheney is vice president, according to a sad new survey by the Pew Research Center. While people can certainly be forgiven for “forgetting” Cheney is actually running the USA, other poll questions revealed that Americans are just getting dumber overall.

For example, 74% could name the governor of their own state in 1989; only 64% hold such precious knowledge today.

After the jump, feel good about yourself for reading Wonkette!

Daily Candy Editors Do Plan On Making It Out to DC One Of These Days

Wednesday, March 22nd, 2006

Pity the poor Daily Candy! Washington DC can’t quite figure out what to do with it, and they can’t quite figure out Washington DC — as evidenced in today’s perky missive, which directs subscribers to a survey (please please please say you buy 10+ beauty products monthy, they whisper). Alas, even in their attempt to learn the very old fashioned way just who the hell their audience is, they show that, perhaps, it may be a lost cause:
