These are my favorites. It's pretty enjoyable to let someone complain about this for 5 minutes then see the look on their face when you tell them the same congressman has entered the same bill at the beginning of every House session for the past 20 years.

I love the treachery of images meme in Egypt right now:

Also, how amazing is it that both sides in both America and Egypt blame the US for both Morsi's election and his overthrow:

Opposition graffiti: "down with the brothers; down with the US"

Quote from MB officials in hilariously poorly sourced NYT article being passed around social media by pro-MB:

“Nobody who knows Egypt is going to believe a coup could go forward without a green light from the Americans.”

Also, the infamous f-16s are putting on an anti-MB airshow over tahrir. What a great meme twist.

The best part about this one is you could just reserve the captions on each pic and use it either way.

The "We hate you but please don't attack us" signs are great.

This is not really political, but it's fascinating because of the enormous response and the fact that the identity thieves bought a gateway computer last month.

Seventy-two killed resisting gun confiscation in Boston!

Boston – National Guard units seeking to confiscate a cache of recently banned assault weapons were ambushed by elements of a Para-military extremist faction. Military and law enforcement sources estimate that 72 were killed and more than 200 injured before government forces were compelled to withdraw.

Speaking after the clash, Massachusetts Governor Thomas Gage declared that the extremist faction, which was made up of local citizens, has links to the radical right-wing tax protest movement.

Gage blamed the extremists for recent incidents of vandalism directed against internal revenue offices. The governor, who described the group’s organizers as “criminals,” issued an executive order authorizing the summary arrest of any individual who has interfered with the government’s efforts to secure law and order.

The military raid on the extremist arsenal followed wide-spread refusal by the local citizenry to turn over recently outlawed assault weapons.

Gage issued a ban on military-style assault weapons and ammunition earlier in the week. This decision followed a meeting in early this month between government and military leaders at which the governor authorized the forcible confiscation of illegal arms.

One government official, speaking on condition of anonymity, pointed out that “none of these people would have been killed had the extremists obeyed the law and turned over their weapons voluntarily.”

Government troops initially succeeded in confiscating a large supply of outlawed weapons and ammunition. However, troops attempting to seize arms and ammunition in Lexington met with resistance from heavily-armed extremists who had been tipped off regarding the government’s plans.

During a tense standoff in the Lexington town park, National Guard Colonel Francis Smith, commander of the government operation, ordered the armed group to surrender and return to their homes. The impasse was broken by a single shot, which was reportedly fired by one of the right-wing extremists.

Eight civilians were killed in the ensuing exchange.

Ironically, the local citizenry blamed government forces rather than the extremists for the civilian deaths. Before order could be restored, armed citizens from surrounding areas had descended upon the guard units. Colonel Smith, finding his forces over matched by the armed mob, ordered a retreat.

Governor Gage has called upon citizens to support the state/national joint task force in its effort to restore law and order. The governor also demanded the surrender of those responsible for planning and leading the attack against the government troops.

Samuel Adams, Paul Revere, and John Hancock, who have been identified as “ringleaders” of the extremist faction, remain at large.

And this fellow Americans, is how the American Revolution began, April 20, 1775.

Also, while this is still a thing:

the MB side has been leading "yes we can" chants (which was very common internationally pre-Obama of course, but is still funny):
