Curious facts and oddities that will interest the progressive thinker.
- Barackina Pelosi-Stalin, a very progressive motorist from Nutly, NJ, has driven an automobile for over 30 years without ever having made a right turn. Her progressive principles will only permit her to make left turns even though this causes her trip to the shopping center down the block from her home to take 3 hours. "I do it for the children" states Ms. Pelosi-Stalin.
- Historians agree that the single most important reason the civilization of Ancient Rome eventually collapsed was its failure to implement a national single-payer healthcare system which would cover everyone, including the invading barbarians.
- Every day that the Rush Limbaugh radio program airs, another poor child in America dies.
- Kudzu, an artist from Flushing, NY, specializes in making statues of famous people out of human excrement. In spite of widespread critical acclaim, numerous shows in prestigeous galleries and millions of dollars in grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, Kudzu has never been able to sell a single work.
- Barack Obama is never mentioned once in the movie "The Greatest Story Ever Told."
- Kelly Fishka of Polyp, Ca, is putting her money where her mouth is when it comes to combatting climate change. In order to stem her personal emissions of deadly carbon dioxide gas, she has decided to exhale no more than once an hour. While her action would strike many as being troublesome and difficult on a personal level, Ms. Fishka says it has not caused her nearly as much hardship as has her effort to curb her personal methane emission by means of a large cork.
- Our country's Founding Fathers Parents did not read the Constitution before voting on it, either.
- Progressive comedienne Janeane Gawdawful had a fetus implanted in her uterus, carried it for eight months and then had an abortion. "My biological clock was ticking", stated Janeane, "I was almost 40 and I hadn't aborted a family yet so I had to do something!" What a trouper... both mother and aborted fetus are doing fine.
- Impartial observers insist the former Soviet Union's centrally-planned economy was NOT a failure; in reality, it was so successful that the other nations of the world became jealous and forced the USSR to disband it.

- Willard Crispflush, a retired city employee and community organizer who has lived his entire life in Chicago, once had a next door neighbor who admitted to being a Republican.
- The city of Messy Falls, Idaho, does not yet have a single street or public building named after Barack Obama. By sheer coincidence, Messy Falls is not scheduled to receive a dime of stimulus money. For anything. Ever.

- Deceased persons vote Democratic by an overwhelming margin regardless of their political affiliation in life. This is thought to be because of the Party's relentless committment to the necro-rights movement.
