[Political] Nerd Humour
The internet is saturated with nerd humour. Sites like somethingawful.com and ytmnd.com have built their sites on the strange senses of humour of nerds everywhere (see Dan Horn’s friends that he brought to the Lit last year).
And so, in an effort to level the playing field to the advantage of political nerds (like me), I now present to you the HILARIOUS speech that Hillary gave on the maiden voyage of her new plane, Hill Force One.
Herewith (from the NYT blog, The Caucus):
Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, and welcome aboard the maiden flight of Hil Force One. My name is Hillary and I am so pleased to have most of you on board.
FAA regulations prohibit the use of any cell phones, blackberries, or wireless devices that may be used to transmit a negative story about me.
In a few minutes, I am going to switch off the ‘fasten your seat belt sign.’ However, I’ve learned lately that things can get awfully bumpy when you least expect it – so you might want to keep those seatbelts fastened.
And in the event of an unexpected drop in poll numbers, this plane will be diverted to New Hampshire.
If you look out from the right, you will see an America saddled with tax cuts for the wealthiest and a war without end. If you look out from the left, you will see an America with a strong middle class at home and a strong reputation in the world.
Once we’ve reached cruising altitude, we’ll be offering in flight entertainment: my stump speech.
Once again, thank you for joining us on Hil Force One. We know you have choices when you fly, and so we are grateful that you chose the plane with the most experienced candidate.
