They only think they're serious.

I have days when I don't want to be serious. About almost anything. Have you ever had days like that? I think that at times one can lose track of the lighter side of life. Life really is funny. Even in troubled times. So pardon me if I laugh. At the same time that others are crying. Take the debates over health care reform and regulation of Wall Street. Many of the proposals have been downright stupid. Which makes them terribly funny. Republicans repeatedly threaten filibusters. In an attempt to block legislation. What can be more funny than that? To actually talk any action to death. Yap. Yap. Yap. None of it makes sense. So why take it seriously? We have idiots running the show. It's almost like watching a Three Stooges comedy routine. Only in this case, it's something like 435 congressmen and 100 senators. All getting in on the slapstick act. Pretending to be serious. Come on now. They ain't serious. They only think they're serious. That makes 'em awfully funny. --Jim Broede
