The test of political figures, a political philosophy and a religion is how well they tolerate humor. The more prickly they are about it, the more they want to stop people from poking fun at them, the more authoritarian and dangerous they are. Straussian elitist's power rests upon respect and adoration. Humor is verboten.
Would you join me in asking JimRob to let me post again my Keysters/Bushies Parody thread? Nearly everyone who posted thought it a scream, and not at all unkind ... until it was deleted. I've still got it on my hard drive ... want a copy, suitable for framing?
Cheers,
