What Conservatives Do For Fun
"Never let it be said that conservatives and libertarians have no sense of humor," says Americans for Tax Reform's Derek Hunter, who's been doing his best to photograph fellow conservatives sporting the trend of the moment: the Snuggie.

And it's working: So far he's convinced Joe the Plumber, Tucker Carlson and Andrew Breitbart to adorn the "blanket with sleeves" that has people mocking it while simultaneously wearing it. His boss, ATR President Grover Norquist, was the first "political celebrity" to put it on.

"I was plotting, trying to think of how to ask Grover," said Hunter. "But a friend of his grabbed him after a Wednesday meeting and said, 'You have to get your picture taken in this.' He knew what it was, thought it was funny and slid it on."

2. They don't look like they're having much fun.
Maybe they don't know how.

5. Sure they do.
It's just that their "fun" usually involves other people suffering & gushing blood.
