We used to hustle over the border for health care we received in Canada. And I think now, Isn’t that ironic? -Sarah Palin
Okay, as far as I can tell, she is using the word “ironic” correctly — so she gets points for that even as she loses points for bad sentence structure — but given her strong opposition to any federally run health care (”Obama’s socialized medicine and death panels”), what’s her actual point here?

I don’t believe the extra panel adds anything to this.

My best guess is that we’re supposed to think Alanis Morissette has gotten the inspiration for “Ironic” (”It’s like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife…”) but it turns out she’s somehow instead been inspired to write “Hand in My Pocket.” Which is, I guess, at least by her definition, ironic.
