These jokes and video clips are just from the month of March 2013.  Yes, these comics are prolific and it takes a good week to round up the jokes and a few of the best clips.  If you have some additional comedy clips you really enjoyed, and want others to know about, just leave the urls in the comment box, and, thanks!

A Truth Journal: Breaking News: Twin Bombs Go Off At Boston Marathon: AP video clip of twin bombings at marathon.
From Denny:  With about 100 injured, some horrifically, and two dead, this was a sad day at the Boston Marathon.  Two explosions went off near the finish line.  About 23,000 people attended the event.

Across town, about four miles away, there was a fire at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library.  In the first reports it was first thought the issue at the Kennedy Library was an explosion but is now called a fire.  Officials do not know if the twin bombings and the Library fire are connected.

Here's what officials know:  pretty much nothing.  Right now they are in the early hours of first treating the many injured and securing the area for investigation.  Police have asked everyone in the area to not use their cell phones in case there are more explosives that could be detonated.  Officials have also asked everyone to remain indoors, sheltering place.  Police did find two more undetonated bombs in the area after the other two bombs went off.

Today is Patriot's Day and officials do not yet know if...

A Truth Journal: Cool WTF? Government Officials Are Voluntarily Giving Up Salaries Back to Taxpayers?

A Truth Journal: Cool WTF? Government Officials Are Voluntarily Giving Up Salaries Back to Taxpayers?: From Denny:  Just when we are all so furiously angered at the selfishness of our government officials for the usual screw-ups, pure laziness and lack of will to make positive corrections, there happens to be two of them that rose above and beyond the call of duty.  Yes, there are two federal officials that have landed in the Admiration Corner today.  These two men are class acts.

Turns out the sequestration mess caused high levels of Pentagon civilian employee furloughs - to the tune of 750,000 people.  The plan was to lay off these unhappy folks for 22 days but that has been cut back to 14 days.  Still, it isn't easy to lose one of your paychecks - even though it's spread out over many months through September.

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel announced that huge block of civilian furloughs will save $2.5 billion for the Pentagon budget.  The sequestration across-the-board budget cuts went into effect on 1 March which amounts to $41 billion.  This $2.5 billion employee furlough will be tacked to that reduction.

A Truth Journal: XL Keystone Pipeline: Why Should America Take All The Risks and No Benefits?

A Truth Journal: XL Keystone Pipeline: Why Should America Take All The Risks and No Benefits?: From Denny:  Once again greedy Big Business seeks to hang the American taxpayers with all the liabilities - while they make billions in profits, free to walk away when it goes bad.

The XL Keystone Pipeline is a huge boondoggle that comes out of Canada.  Apparently, the Canadian firm, TransCanada, along with some American energy partners sum up their business mantra in one chant, "Let the Americans pay for it!"

Our State Department has been on a fool's errand writing up a study on the impact on America's environment, concluding it would not be a problem, in order to act like they are satisfying the environment folks.  As usual, everyone rivets their focus upon the distraction, taking their eye off the obvious.
