Maybe the Funniest Political Page on the Web

We urge gentle readers wanting a laugh to view this page at The Progressive.

Featured content is whining about how Obama is throwing no cabinet-appointment bones to "progressives," proposing that he name Dennis Kucinich to State and Russ Feingold to Justice.

But the cake is iced with the banner ad at the top. It features famous far-left historian and media talking head Howard Zinn with the following pitch:

The Progressive is one of our most important voices, and yet it is facing an acute cash-flow crisis. I'm hoping you'll make a generous tax-deductible gift right now.

Should Obama relent (and we think that Waxman as chair of Energy and Commerce is plenty for self-styled "progressives"), we anticipate bake sales, 5ks and telethons to fund green energy initiatives and health insurance spending.

Swind,

You are right, this article almost made me laugh out loud!

"And if Obama really wanted change, ... he’d nominate Dennis Kucinich as Secretary of State."

Priceless!
