Ever wonder why conservative comedy is so unfunny? The point of satire
is to comfort the afflicted by afflicting the comfortable... whereas the
point of conservatism is the exact opposite. Truth is, ridiculing the
non-privileged isn't particularly funny -- it's just mean. The result?
There's virtually
no good conservative comedy.
