Invite Me When I Lose

Funny story of the day comes from Pittsburgh super defensive star James Harrison (the guy who ran back 100 yard run in the Super Bowl and fell out); yes he has recently declined to go to the White House to meet the President, the tradition for the winners of national sport programs.

The reason for his decline is rather funny.  From his blog Harrison notes:

"This is how I feel -- if you want to see the Pittsburgh Steelers, invite us when we don't win the Super Bowl. As far as I'm concerned, he [Obama] would've invited Arizona if they had won."

So Harrison is starting a new crusade in the world or at least his world, where the losing team gets to go greet and meet the President.  Along with that, the losing team takes home the awards, money, and accolades.  This is not a bad idea; it is really going to pay to lose and balances off.  Kids can shake hands that m

uch better when they lose because they will be rewarded; and the winners will only have the gratification that they won; but won no reward.

Thanks Mr. Harrison for this new revolution.  Chicago Funnies will take a new stance on funny news and will now award our Hog Head Dummy (I mean Funny) of the day.  James Harrison the Hog Head Funny of the Day!

Our runner up is John Lackey of the California Angels for throwing two pitches before being tossed out.  Come on down John and meet the Chicago Funnies!

Mayor of Akron

I was laughing at this response of Lebron James. In last nights game against the Chicago Bulls (in which the Cavs beat the Bulls and James went for a season high 41 points nine rebounds and six assists in 36 minutes), James had a shirt that had Barack Obama image with the words, President Elect.

He arrived at the game wearing a T-shirt with president-elect Barack Obama's likeness on it and was asked if he would consider a future in politics, perhaps as the mayor of Akron, his hometown.

"Mayor of Akron?'' he said. "I'm already mayor of Akron. I've been that for about 10 years now.''

He's not the actual mayor. What people don't understand is that there is a Mayor who is elected; does all the grunt work but no one knows him. Then you have the apparent Mayor who everyone knows and likes, doesn't do any work besides his or her career.

For instance in Chicago Mayor Daley is the actual Mayor. However, Barack Obama, Oprah Winfrey, and Antonio Dannes are the apparent mayors. Like Michael Jordan use to be the Mayor...Does that make sense? Well it should and shouldn't (funny). Ha ha ha ha ...

Well we thought it was funny any way.

Barack Obama Wins

Finally, it's no surprise Barack Obama is the president elect. He has defeated John McCain, Hilary Clinton, and has jolted America into a new phase. President Barack Obama - nice sound. The only thing funny in this piece is that John McCain lost to a black man... (not funny).

George W. Bush is the best president of all time for his ability to set the stage perfectly. He strategically ran the country into the ground. He fought a war that didn't make sense, he burned up the economy, and did it without even being questioned of impeachment.

This is historic. George W. Bush should take much of the credit in Barack Obama's win today for making things so bad that people had to wake up for change. Barack Obama, Barack Obama, Barack Obama (it's a chant, not a keyword spam).

Barack Obama Accepts Nomination

Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois accepted the Democratic presidential nomination Thursday night, declaring that Sen. John McCain of Arizona, his Republican opponent, was not up to the task of resolving America’s economic and foreign policy problems. The main argument was that McCain's supports 90% of President Bush's administration and policies.

Does the country want a 10% change or 100% change? That is the question!

“Tonight, tonight, I say to the people of America, to Democrats and Republicans and independents across this great land — enough!” Obama declared as thousands of flash bulbs popped in the Denver Broncos’ stadium. It is enough. Enough hood-winking.

As a presumptive presidential nominee, Obama selected Delaware Senator Joe Biden, a foreign and national security affairs veteran, as his running mate. The pair won their nominations on Aug. 27 at the national convention.

After delivering a speech to an audience of tens of thousands, he announced the decision to accept the nomination and become the first minority presidential candidate of a major party. It was joyous and exciting, and emotional as many teared up in the packed stadium. This is history and it was made.
