Glad I made you smile or laugh.

Things aren’t too funny anymore, are they?

Oh, I'm not quite ready to give up on the funny side of the street. Even if a lot of those making the funnies aren't really kidding around.

And perhaps the election season beginning in earnest will prove yet again how right Mr. Mencken was, when he surmised that democracy was that form of government whereby the common people know what they want and deserve to get it, good and hard, but I'm not sure who's going to be laughing. Other than those who laugh like Figaro that they might not weep. ;)

Unless, of course, you count P.J. O'Rourke. (The Democrats are the party that says government will make you smarter, taller, richer, and remove the crabgrass on your lawn. The Republicans are the party that says government doesn't work and then they get elected and prove it.)
