A joke is a joke. Cruel or not.

Some people will believe any and everything you tell 'em. Especially those with leanings toward the right. Politically. Socially. Economically. That's why kooks prevail on the far right. And in the Republican Party, generally. Their heroes and champions are the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, Rand Paul and Ann Coulter. They speak nonsense. But they have a schtick that sells with the mentally impaired. The lunatic fringe. Anybody with half a brain would recognize that Limbaugh, Beck, Paul, Palin and Coulter are pulling our legs. They ain't serious. Other than the fact that by catering to stupid people, they can make lots of money. Yes, they are aware that a sucker is born every minute. And they take full advantage of it. You won't find many people with an education flocking to the far, far right. Smart people, and even some half-wits, know better. The unfortunate thing is that god created something even less than half-wits. You don't believe me? Well, just go to a gathering of Republicans. Do you need more proof than that? Look at Congress. Especially the U.S. Senate. Some of the dumbest people ever born are filling some of the seats with their fat asses. Sadly, their undersized brains are in their asses. So when they sit down, it cuts off blood/oxygen circulation to their brains. I'd advise them to stand up. It may increase their IQs by 3 or 4 points. That ain't much. But it's something. Every little bit helps. Some peope dispute the theory that god has a sense of humor. But I don't buy it. Look at a Republican. What could be a bigger joke? Of course, it could be argued that god fancies cruel jokes. But still, a joke is a joke. --Jim Broede
