This is why conservatives should really stay away from comedy. Libertarians like Dennis Miller, Larry Miller, and Penn Gillette are funny but that's as close as you guys will get.

Meanwhile...CNN polls 7 points ahead of Trump in trustworthiness. Ouch.

Bullshit. Only conservatives have the innate sense of the futility and absurdity of life that makes comedy possible. Liberals are a bunch of sunny, human-perfectability, glass-half-full twinks.

I rest my case.

That's because you haven't explored theories of the nature of humor or comedy. For starters, read Henri Bergson's essay on "Laughter" and get back to me. Aristotle's Poetics have some good stuff too.

Yeah...ask any person with a good sense of humor who comes to mind when they think comedy and some semi-obscure Frenchman and fucking Aristotle are sure to be at the top of the list!

Conks in general lack a funny bone. Liberals have their own deficiencies too. Did these two philosophers ever write about the importance of owning one's shit?

Spoiler: show: I'll check out both writings when I get a chance, IT. Thanks!

Actually, there was a survey about 10 years ago (Psychology Today?) that showed that conks had a better sense of humor than Donks, as measured by responses to several sets of jokes. Personally, I don't really think either side has a monopoly on wit.

I mean, look at this board!

The unintentional, Plan 9 from Outer Space humor of JSO. The slapstick exchanges between BDK and Ibanez. The punctuation-free canoodling of CID and Chizzy. The list goes on.

So is Al Franken the exception that proves the rule? Dude is about as funny as a heart attack.

Who determines if they are funny or not before they are used in the survey?
And what if the jokes really weren't funny (sorta like any "joke" that StickyLips tries around here)?

Libertarians are funny - when you pretty much want to give the middle finger to everyone and everybody it's easier to be funny. Irreverance is funny. Conservatives aren't funny, they're too defensive and prickly. Liberals aren't funny, they're too condescending and smug. Laughing at both sides of the political spectrum is the only option.

I didn't say we're funny. But we do know from funny.

I read them. The golf jokes were the best. Better than the McBunz standard, IMO.

We'll, there aren't really that many of us so I was just speaking personally.
