Much of the world's GDP relies on rage and the clicks they generate, to say nothing of psychiatric drugs prescribed to control ragefits. If folks start apologizing everywhere on the Internet, whole industries will be ruined.

I think a lot of comedians can be conservative and just leave it out of their act. It's not like every comedian is outright pushing progressive ideas with every bit. Sometimes it's just goofy slice of life, apolitical poo poo. Whenever people bring up conservative comedians they bring up comedians who make their whole bit about being conservative which of course that's not funny. lothar_ posted:

Conservative comedians aren't comedians, they're just guys who become popular because they say a lot of racist things with a funny look on their face.

Can we just redirect Fishmech's posts to a gaschamber thread again? There's threads here where 1/3 of a page is just JERK DETECTED.

Jeremy Clarkson needs other people to play off of, or else he's insufferable. He's funny on Top Gear, he's funny in a couple of game/chat shows I've seen where he's with other comedians, but his written columns and solo acts (that I've seen anyway) are bleah.

I don't know much about Clarkson because I don't give two shits about cars and I only watch BBC for TNG reruns, but holy hell his teeth look like something you'd expect from a racist caricature of a British person.

"Closely held" (i.e. private, majority ownership) corporations whose owners have strong religious beliefs about contraception cannot be forced to provide it to employees if they manage employee health insurance. This ruling does not apply to vaccines or blood transfusions because Justice Kennedy thinks that people with those religious beliefs are nutty.

Also unions of government workers aren't allowed to demand money from non-members for collective bargaining purposes, I think. Something bad for public sector unions at any rate.

Assuming by good comedy you mean comedy that accomplished the goal of being comic or funny and not comedy that is ideologically correct. Because if that's your definition of good comedy, boy howdy does Daily Kos have some knee slappers.

Victoria Jackson is running for Williamson Country Tennessee Commissioner this year, so we'll get a numerical gauge of her popularity in at least one region.

The punch-up/punch down thing mostly comes into play with the unfunny "STRONG TAKE masquerading as joke". When those come from a liberal it is just boring or irritating. When they come from a conservative it is often stomach-turning. edit: Just got peek into future: Coulter's next column is going to be why conservatives are more funny than liberals.

There are a lot of bad SNL sketches, but then there are a lot of really good ones. Victoria Jackson is incredibly crazy and dumb. I think I heard that they thought that was her "character" when they hired her.
