    Humor is related to intelligence.

    Your bar for "funny" seems low.

    Don't worry Inky, I was including you in my question.

    You're obviously not a partisan.

    My GOP voter registration says otherwise.

    Yes, those go very much hand-in-hand.

    However, I don't think the Barons, Linkys, TSPs ... of the board are humorless because they're liberal. They're humorless because they're not very smart, which eventually leads to their worldview.

    No, I'm humorless when it comes to politics because I don't think politics is very funny. It's serious business. Lives are at stake. What happens now will affect the country's future for years to come. It's not funny.

    Bush joking about finding WMDs under his desk wasn't funny. Frankly, it was insulting as hell to every one of the soldiers under his command, and their families. McCain joking about "Bomb, bomb Iran," wasn't funny, seeing that his party wanted to go to war with them. Obama and 57 states is a slight chuckle, because you know that he knows there's not 57 states. Sarah Palin talking about how Russia's dangerous because her state is next to the country isn't funny. It's stupid and showed a considerable amount of ignorance on her part. Hillary reading off "sigh" on a Teleprompter is an eye-roller, but frankly, it's a distraction from important issues this country is facing.

    Unlike you and your friends, I don't look for cheap laughs for bumper stickers. Frankly, it's a sign of intelligence that I and others don't find stupid gaffes to be funny. Like with Trump and the Supreme Court 5-3 thing. We take it as a sign that he's not prepared to be president.

    Amazingly enough, Baron was right about something. You did once again prove me right in my assertion that you are obsessed with me.

    Now the actual argument that it was wrong to call the girl an American citizen? Wow, was that stupid.

    What about stupid Democrat gaffes? Like when Georgia congressman Hank Johnson suggested Guam could capsize because we were trying to station an extra 8,000 Marines there?



    Or any one of a dozen Maxine Waters gems?

    Except she was called an Israeli, or an Israeli-American by numerous media outlets. Were they all stupid?
