Absolutely Bob! I guess I always - well most of the time, unless of course
it's Ed (sorry Ed), give the person the benefit of the doubt. In this case one
joke begot a rebuttle joke. Funny or not, I give both posters the benefit of
attempting humor - not offence. I guess there's just bigger problems in the
world to get worked up over this.
Life's too short not to laugh.
Now that that's off my chest...
There was the Presidential candiate, a US Senator, a Rabbi, a Priest and a
Lawyer sitting in a bar... Oh, nevermind!
Have a great weekend everyone.

Subject: Re: [Healeys] Comment for what it is worth
I'm not offended by political humor of any stripe. In fact, I usually enjoy it.
What I read this morning was a right-leaning, mildly amusing political joke,
followed by a heartfelt and poignant rejoinder from an opposing view. Then,
several people attacked the latter under the guise of "no politics on the
List," completely ignoring the original, political joke. So I took a stand.
My feeling is we either allow political humor from both sides, or neither.
