I can laugh at SNL skits too, whether I agree with them or not. I don't consider it "debasing". Just a political joke. What's wrong with that? Do we need new laws? You just said it was debasing those you don't agree with.
Oh, I got it. You made a joke aimed at debasing those with which you do not agree politically. Very funny.
So much for political comedy.
Thanks for getting it. And your new avatar cracks me up!
A man walked into a very high-tech bar. As he sat down on a stool he noticed that the bartender was a robot. The robot clicked to attention and asked, "Sir, what will you have?"
The man thought a moment then replied? "A martini please."The robot clicked a couple of times and mixed the best martini the man had ever had.
The robot then asked, "Sir, what is your IQ?" The man answered "Oh, about 164."
The robot then proceeded to discuss the 'theory of relativity', inter-stellar space travel', the latest medical breakthroughs, etc...
The man was most impressed. He left the bar but thought he would try a different tact. He returned and took a seat. Again the robot clicked and asked what he would have? "A martini please."
Again it was superb.? The robot again asked "What is your IQ sir?"
This time the man answered , "Oh about 100". So the robot started discussing NASCAR racing, the latest basketball scores, and what to expect the Dodgers to do this week end.
The guy had to try it one more time. So he left, returned and took a stool.... Again a martini, and the question, "What is your IQ?" This time the man drawled out " Uh..... bout 50".
The robot clicked then leaned close and very slowly asked,

You are absolutely right archer! Here in the courthouse, it's fine to be nasty to each other and fling insults at will, but God forbid a joke slips in to break that love fest up a bit.
It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers−out of unorthodoxy

Kate and Archer would rather have the government take what you own and produce and give it to someone else because they said it's the right thing to do. Meanwhile, the homeless guy is still homeless and the government is spending your money on paying people to do nothing.
They want you to live by socialist standards ...yet they love the life style that capitalism has created for them.
