I read the other thread for the first time this morning and decided not to post in it because it's a waste of time. I peruse "Politics" because those are the topics that interest me most. I have a sense of humor, and I hope it shows in my posts, but there is place for everything, and the other thread doesn't belong in "Politics". It's not even funny.
You don't play practical jokes at the White House, in church, at the graveyard or in court. Personally, I find that thread sophomoric at best but that just means that I'm going to ignore it. There's no reason for it to even exist. That's not to say that humor doesn't belong in "Politics" or politics in general, but it needs to be somewhat related. If you want to make jokes about Bob Dole helping Clinton with samples of Viagra (for example), I'll laugh out loud, but don't expect me to do anything more than shake my head and walk away from something about graham crackers that the average 7th grader finds old and busted.
Just because I don't find you funny doesn't mean that 1) I don't have a sense of humor or 2) that you've said anything humorous to begin with.
