Too busy getting knocked down by Sunny the dog to keep up with today’s news?  Fear not, here’s today in five jokes:

Today House Speaker John Boehner said the GOP should not withhold financial support for the party’s openly gay candidates.  Other basic decency “don’ts” from Boehner:  Don’t punch puppies and lick other people’s food.

Today Kathleen Sebelius, secretary of health and human services testified before a House committee.  During her three and a half hour testimony she tried to defend the Obamacare rollout and its website.

Today during her testimony before a House committee, a fed up Secretary Sebelius answered “whatever” under her breath to Rep. Harper’s repeated questions.  Then Harper rolled his eyes, then Sebelius made the “L sign” on her forehead then Harper called Sebelius a slut on her Facebook wall then Sebelius ordered 50 pizzas to be delivered to Harper’s house and then…no one can still get on that website.

We're Having a Fundraiser! And we need YOU.

Mark your calendars, for at 8 pm, the eve of July 28th at 1744 N. Wilton Place will be a fundraiser of epic proportions! In fact, we want to make it even epic-er than ever, and to do that, we need your help! Let us backtrack.  "Say Something Funny, Bitch" is a website that was started by Alisha Gaddis in 2010, to bring a group of strong, female voices to the online comedy community. Since then, SSFB has been bringing you articles that were funny, topical, touching, artistic and pictorial (yeah, photo essays, what of it?) and the site has been reposted by blogs like Comediva, Hello Giggles and some weird Australian pro-Paris Hilton pop culture blog. Unfortunately, Tumblr is getting far too small to house our rapidly growing readership! What we are aspiring to do through this fundraiser is to build a brand new website so that we can keep bringing the world content that is brilliant, hilarious, brilliant, witty, awesome, innovative, feminist, brilliant and brilliant.  We are looking to raise 800 dollars. That will be the TOTAL cost to build new and world-class website fit to house the musings of our writers: Alisha Gaddis, Bekah Tripp, Rebecca Leib, Laura Mannino, Jamie Brunton, Maggy Keegan, Kate Ruppert, Renee Gauthier, Jessica Glassberg and a plethora of other funny, rotating guest writers!  Please, if there is any service or object you could donate to our cause- anything from a coaching session to a haircut to a date to a drawing to your Beta copy of Tron to that gross wine your weird Uncle bought you for your birthday three years ago...we'd love to take it off your hands and put it in our raffle to hopefully help out our cause! If you can't totally no big deal.  In fact, we're delighted you even read this far (really, we know how busy a handsome fellow or madam like you is!) Please come to the fundraiser, get the word out, or sit and reflect on the inherent irony of gleaning self-appreciation from a mass query (really, we're just happy you're reading).  If you do decide to donate a service or object and you have a business or want to advertise with us, we can put you on the poster and hand out cards at the event. Or pass this along to someone you think would be willing to help! Whatever it takes!  If you can donate a service or object, contact [email protected]
