United Seniors Association: Hired Guns for PhRMA and Other Corporate Interests As House Speaker Dennis Hastert strolled to the podium on May 1, 2002 to announce a new Republican proposal to subsidize private prescription drug coverage for seniors, a small group of United Seniors Association members sporting red, white and blue clothing gathered on the Capitol steps to cheer for the GOP plan. Images of the event made for a good photo opportunity, but looks can be deceiving. Though the United Seniors Association (USA) is a conservative, grassroots organization for the elderly, the organization is just as likely to be flacking for corporate special interests as it is to be representing seniors.

    IDH 3931: (Un)Common Arts: The Problem with Political Jokes is they Get Elected…and also the Capitol Steps Thursday, period 7 (1:55 – 2:45pm) in 119 Little Hall Kevin M. Baron, PhD Office Hours: Tuesday, 10am to Noon Wednesday, 11am to 1pm By Appointment as Needed Office: 224 Pugh Hall (Bob Graham Center) Email: [email protected] Course Description Political comedy and satire have been viable forms of communication for centuries, providing an outlet for transmitting political commentary and opinion in both flattering and unflattering ways. In the contemporary era, there has been a rise in the use of political comedy on television, but there are numerous other outlets where satire and comedy shed light on political realities. Political cartoons, stand- up comedians, blogs and websites, social media and memes, and music or other live-art performances have the power to convey information, form or shape opinions, and even influence or motivate political participation. The purpose of this course will be to explore the connections between comedy and satire, and politics. As American politics have become more hyper-partisan and bitter, it would seem that political comedy has increased in attention, becoming more popular. In 2009, a TIME Online poll cited Jon Stewart as the most trusted news anchor since the death of Walter Cronkite. A “fake” news program on a cable comedy channel became a legitimate source of news, including spawning multiple offspring. At a time when politicians, including the president, members of Congress, and pundits accuse actual news of being fake, can fake news inform and influence public discourse, policy debates, and politics? This course will examine the rise of political comedy in the modern era, beginning in the 1960s by examining how stand-up comedians began to use their platform to address social and political issues, leading to television comedy like the Smothers Brothers.
