The importance of sneering at Very Serious Persons..

[Fumesucker]

I think in many cases humorists and comedians are telling much more of the truth about politics and life in America than are the "news" organizations who constantly lie with impunity.

The Very Serious Persons have been leading us astray for thirty years now, they deserve our utmost contempt, best expressed through ribald and mocking humor.

Notice that the comedians and humorists that are not telling the truth are not really funny, Mallard Fillmore, The Half Hour News Hour, Dennis Miller since he got assimilated into the Borg..

1. They tried to assimilate me.

I have no beer and travel financing, but I still can think and feel, and what I do have can not be taken.

[Fumesucker]

2. I'd rather have a beer in front of me..

Than a frontal lobotomy.

[monmouth]

3. OMG...LOL.

[RandomThoughts]

6. I avoided the labotomy.

Although it took deprogramming and self discipline.


Find any feeling or thought that evokes a reaction, then think on that feeling to make sure the reaction is the one you want to have, to make sure it is not a programmed macro.

So when you hear freedom, you have feelings, so think on what that word means, to make sure it is not a programmed feeling, but a thoughtful feeling one.

I call it combing the hair, making sure I don't think on things that other people put in my macros.

5. I miss George Carlin, Dick Gregory, Richard Pryor, Bill Hicks, et al

[Bluenorthwest]

10. I miss those guys, but I miss Dick Gregory less 'cause he's

still alive and and active. http://dickgregory.com/

13. Ooops. Thanks for pointing that out....

...one of my all-time favorite comedy lines is when Mr. Gregory was asked to comment after it was disclosed that his name was on Richard Nixon's "enemies list". Said Gregory, "Tell him I accept!"

9. People are hungry for it, too.

When I started writing political comedy with the ex, the bookings doubled nearly overnight. People wanted to hear it, contrary to every bit of common wisdom about mixing in politics.

11. Comedians...

They are the abstract and brief chronicles of the
time: after your death you were better have a bad
epitaph than their ill report while you live.

Q: Do you believe in national healthcare?
Carson (as presidential candidate): Yes. The government makes us sick. The least they can do is make us well.

Carson (as presidential candidate): America is the land of opportunity where every young, poor boy can grow up and say, "Hey look, there goes a rich guy."

Democracy is buying a big house you can't afford with money you don't have to impress people you wish were dead. And, unlike communism, democracy does not mean having just one ineffective political party; it means having two ineffective political parties. Democracy is welcoming people from other lands, and giving them something to hold onto -- usually a mop or a leaf blower.


There is a power struggle going on between President Reagan's advisers. Moe and Curly are out. Larry is still in.

14. Zappa says....

You want to know what they hate more than anything else in life? They can't stand for people not to take them seriously. If you laugh at them for an instant, it's just like – the devil walks in the room, right? And he goes, "I'm the Devil," and you take a fork and poke him in the belly, and the gas comes out, and he'll go twirling around the room like an unleashed balloon. That's the way these guys are. You can't laugh at them. They hate it, because they're so full of shit, they're so full of themselves that they just can't believe that people don't appreciate them for the grand, highly evolved creatures that they imagine themselves to be. They hate to be laughed at. If they weren't so fucking dangerous, it would be fun to laugh at them all the time, but sometimes you have to take into account how much damage they can do. Frank Zappa

16. Colbert at the Correspondent's Dinner..

If looks could kill he'd have been a dead man that night.

15. so true: "humorists that are not telling the truth are not really funny"

[foxfeet]

17. A long well-established and effective use of the written and spoken word.

It was common for Druids to mock publicly the leaders who failed to lead or did so badly. Some Druids were reputed to be so scorching in their satire that the subject of the mockery broke out in boils. I'm wishing we had some of those Druids nowadays.

18. Sneering at the poor & powerless is one of the PTB's most useful weapons.

But it's because people defer to the ptb -- thinking they are smarter/more worthy because they have money, are on tv, seem to run things....


Denigrating them, mocking them, saying the emperor has no clothes: one of the most powerful tools of the people against the rulers.

"Civility" & "politeness" are the bunk. They want civility, because it supports their authority & dignity, their rules.

They're brain-dead assholes, they need to be called on it & mocked relentlessly. People need to stop deferring to them.
