It’s Saturday at IJReview, and that means it’s time for Funniest #TweetsoftheWeek.

This week, we take a tour with #LiberalBandNames, jokes about Obama making taxes “fairer,” and the Twitter’s response to the White House’s hilarious comments on the death star petition.

If you see something funny, feel free to follow or retweet. And if you’d like to recommend a tweet for a Saturday shout-out, send it to @ijreview or @rogue1776.

#LiberalBandNames had the perfect recipe for a great hashtag game: ridiculously easy to play and endless puns.

First, we have Nick Gillespie of Reason magazine:

Wade in America crammed four Tweets into one (I think there’s a law against that):

Twitchy captured the reaction to President Obama declaring that he had made the tax system more “fair”:

@barackobama if by “fairer” you mean higher then you’re right.

A choice selection from the January 7th post “Hilarious: Obama Voters Furious About Tax Hikes” that was cited by Breitbart:

I have a friend who voted for Obama publicly complaining about the new #SS tax raise. I would just like to say: You did this to yourself.

Then there was the White House’s epic response to the death star petition:

I love that the White House is still trying to convince people that they care about the deficit. cmy.tc/13nvqSI#fb

Joe Schoffstall of the Media Research Center weighed in:
