Rolling Across the Aisle, Week 9

Welcome to week 9 of RAAL, the only place on the internet where your opinion actually matters. In last week's election, we put a liberal joke up against a conservative joke, and by a clear margin, the liberal joke won.  Part of the reason was because one person voted twice. Some of you may think that's fraudulent, but I don't know how to count or what fraudulent means. Congrats to Laet Oliveira, AKA @LaetPO!

As this election season winds down, both Democrats and Republicans are getting more serious. But not here. This is a safe place where you can still laugh at yourself and your opponent. Take a look at the jokes below and vote as often as you like in the comments section.

Week 9:

IN THE LEFT CORNER

Paul Ryan plans to help the hurricane relief effort by cleaning up in unaffected areas.

IN THE RIGHT CORNER

When my daughter sees me eating something she wants, she squeals at me and holds both hands out. It's so cute. She's like a tiny Democrat!

Naked Cowboys for Romney

This year's election has really highlighted how much voting demographics have changed. Historically, naked cowboys tend to vote liberal, particularly in the West Hollywood area. But this year, naked cowboys seems to be hanging more to the right…

Robert Burck, aka the guy who sings and prances around in his underwear in New York City’s Times Square, is throwing his support behind the former Massachusetts governor.

"I believe in a small, decentralized, fiscally responsible federal government," he told New York’s CBS affiliate. "I believe in an economy with free market principals, and I believe in the strongest national defense on Earth. And those are the antithesis of all the things Obama is doing."

Burck claims being conservative has always been in his nature. You'd think someone who believes in having a strong defense would do more to protect his "little soldier" than walk around in tighty whities.

While Romney has yet to respond to the naked cowboy's statements, my guess is he prefers Meat Loaf to beefcake.

Rolling Across the Aisle, Week 8

It's week 8 of Rolling Across the Aisle Laughing. We only have a couple more weeks until the election. Are you ready to vote? Have you even registered? If not, don't worry. You can just post your political opinions all over Facebook. That counts too.

Last week's toe-to-toe slugfest ended up being a draw. Conan O'Brien got one vote because he is Coco, and the other got one vote because it was written by a human with mammary glands. Guys, I think we can do better. This week I've chosen a couple of non-celebrities without boobs in the hopes it will make you more objective and less objectifying…

IN THE LEFT CORNER

Mitt Romney once invested in the Yankees. Which finally explains the time the Yankees tried to trade Alex Rodriguez to China.

IN THE RIGHT CORNER

I went and saw "Seven Psychopaths" and was surprised it wasn't a movie about Obama, Biden, Pelosi, Reid, Debbie WS, Clinton, & Axerod.
