[Congressman Billybob]

This article is to political humor what an autopsy is to a human being. It offers explanations after the fact, but the subject was either dead to begin with, or died in the effort. We laugh at what we fear -- death, sex, and Congress. "America has no native criminal class, except perhaps the Congress." Mark Twain.

Thank you very much. I'm here all week. Try the veal. Don't forget to tip your waitress.

"A World Full of Pinocchio"

Excellent piece. No doubt, honesty wins!

In places without freedom of expression and zero respect for women, jokes about someone else's obese mother aren't going to change much. However, a version of Plato's satire about feminism; a woman as the Supreme Leader of Iran (STORYLINE: a prostitute from Tehran sleeps her way through the Assembly of Experts and is selected by them to replace Ayatohla Khamenei...), for example... might shake some high fruit out of the trees, if you know what i mean. Too many of us are satisfied with blaming ourselves or simply picking the low hanging fruit when it comes to tyrannical dictatorships. You however have seen the light. Hugo Chavez may or may not have played Monopoly but either way, he missed the major premise of the game, in the same way that he has missed the major premise of how the world works.
