It is the test of a good religion whether you can joke about it,” wrote G. K. Chesterton. Those who hold their beliefs strongly can laugh at the world, their predicaments, and themselves.

Of course the same applies to political beliefs, too, which are often now a mere stand-in for religious ideas.

Samantha Bee has never been funny. If you watch the show with the sound off she looks like a gibbon monkey dancing around.

Comedian Samantha Bee now that’s funny
Chinese proverb: Beware of people who are unable to laugh at themselves.
Dang.....Bee used to be kind of cute. How evil takes its toll on the body.
