Recall. Impeachment. A case could be made for either one in a number of cases.

I won’t believe it until I see the autopsy and then the tombstone.

The people of Massachusetts should give Kirk some ‘It’s time to resign’ phone calls. But then again his phones might be broken just like Mary Landrieu.

George Washington’s greatest act was to refuse to be crowned king.

My how things have changed.

Groucho Max? Who did he mock? The running gag was his stockin-trade, but ridicule? Nah.

When didn’t name calling become the height of comedy?

I don't like to write this, but I do think American humor as a form of entertainment, generally, is dead. It seems that most people laugh out of embarrassment. Is body part, bodily function humor that funny? How many crotch jokes have to be heard before anyone says enough?

How about witty risqué like this:

The Thin Man:

Nora: "I read you were shot five times in the tabloids."

Nick: "It's not true. He didn't come anywhere near my tabloids."

Is it a comedian's job to 'mock'?

The greats never mocked anyone that I can think of. Can you?

Isn't it amazing that Christopher Reeves is still the face of the 'Man of Steel.' His image is iconic, and sadly, has to be overwhelmed by someone else for another Superman to truly succeed.

The Constitution was written by dead, slave owning, white men—PERIOD. No arguments, no discussion allowed.

But socialism is hip, cool, and chic! But socialism, and its associated ‘isms,’ is constantly getting repackaged. Slap a young face on it and people will buy it. Put a face on a t-shirt, Che for instance, and people will by it.

But the fact that Che was a mass murdered, and for all Karl Marx’s talk of the proletariat, he never did a days work in his life and was never in the same room with a working class man, let alone talk to one.

The young and the old buy bad ideas all the time, and for Socialism it’s made easy because it’s away wearing a mask.
