So we went out last night to visit a couple whom we see once a year...
and were greeted at the door...at the frigging DOOR, with a "joke", if you want to call it that, about President Obama. I'm not gonna relate the joke here since I don't post that which I can't stand hearing and it isn't funny on any level, really.

So he prefaces the joke by saying that his son had called him and told him this - as though that somehow validates the material and exonerates him in case it doesn't go over well. At the end of the joke, neither Mrs. Intern nor I smile and I count to three to myself and say:

"That is a recycled joke from the George W. Bush Presidency, or whatever you want to call that hot mess."

That was the last mention of politics for the (mercifully short) evening.

I am tired of being randomly shot at, so I pack my own brand of heat.

As an aside, we don't get as many of those "You wouldn't believe what my brother-in-law told me about the Democrats/President/Liberals/Hillary" posts which then told the story in exquisite detail as we used to. I think. Maybe I'm wrong.

I haven't been around to notice, but shame if that is true.   :(

That's strange, when I tell jokes about Democrats/President/Liberals/Hillary Everyone around me dies laughing.
A liberal who is mugged by reality becomes conservative.

1. Such annecdotes are pointless without including the joke. IMO.

There is no point talking about the approprate response to X without knowing what X is.

You think too much of PCIntern if you think he can produce a joke also.

2. no...it is unnecessary to spread that shit around any more than it already is, IMO

You really think that vaguely racist and sexually charged jokes about the Obamas need to be repeated here?

You may be my guest...my response was appropriate, take my word for it. One thing around here I'm known for is my incendiary tongue. If I restrain myself, it is for good reason.

Uh, wait a minute.   I thought his witty reply was this:

There were "vaguely racist and sexually charged" jokes about the George W. Bush Presidency?

I miss everything.
