Satire these days is two guys in suits screaming about GW Bush. And they are quite good. But we need more. Much more. Satire can be an instrument of social change. It can expose the petty little and not so little evils of the powers that be. It can dethrone kings, and bring about revolutions. We don't see enough of it. We need a wall of laughter, good sweet laughter, to challenge those who would oppress in the name of security. We need to have the courage to look at ourselves and our leaders and relize we may be the free the brave, but we are also a bunch of silly selfish, bloated bunch of ducks. We need to expose the emperor as the nudist he really is.
Now there is an old trick to make yourself laugh. Say haha over and over again. It'll happen soon or later. You'll experience that orgasm of the soul, that music of pain and joy, the most wonderful sound in the world...Laughter.
