Between planning nuclear wars, burning embassies, plain old blaspheming, and accusing each other of being stupid, dishonest, or deranged, the quality of discourse has been strained somewhat.
I’d rather we laughed at ourselves and each other – it’s a good way to get over ourselves. Frequent commenter Daniel Markham is doing something about it.

Tired of having the same old argument every day with your left/right war/antiwar conservative/liberal friends? Able to make a joke? How about writing some political humor?
I’ve started a new blog www.news2lose.com which is going to be political satire. I don’t care what side of the political fence you are on, if you are able to laugh at yourself and others we’d like to hear it! A spirit of self-deprecation is required — if you want to bash Michael Moore or Dick Cheney have fun with it, but have some class too.
Email me at DanielBMarkham AT hotmail.com for a tryout. If you can write some funny stuff, or at least something different, maybe folks will like hearing about it. This is NOT a commercial venture, just a place to play and have fun. If we can write a few stories a week that make fun of the political climate we are in, maybe we all can loosen up a bit.
I’ll drink to that, as Groucho would have said. And yes, I am a Marxist…Groucho, Harpo, Chico AND Zeppo. There. I’ve admitted it.
I am sorry but in Europe we have our State-owned media that accomplish a not-the-same but similar function: one day they will begin blaming Americans for the world’s flatness.
If you know Spanish you can also join the robbolution against the Empire watching Cubavision, with occasional but outstanding performances of Commander Castro and Colonel Chavez.

I’m a neocon. The old way we conned people is the same as the new way we con people. The people who aren’t conned tell everyone the people with the conners are conned. If you’re convinced you’ve been conned.
See, it works !

Yes can a France build all those Marixism factories to begin with? At lease they pay most of time in the old Soviet Union.

You know, it’s quite often that people tell me that were it not for Americans, the French would be speaking German today!
Well, were it not for the French, you might be speaking English today… 😉
GASP??? YOU’RE A MARXIST?????
Hello, Groucho.
Welcome welcome to You Beat Your Wife At Gin-Rummy, say the magic word and win a hundred dollars. Well, while you think about it I’ll go slip out of these wet clothes and into a dry martini.

I must confess I was a “Marxist”:http://www.richardmarx.com/frameset.html too.
