No joking matter.

Some of my comedy writing friends are taking a brief hiatus due to the awful massacre in Aurora,  Colorado.  But I believe that laughing beats crying.  And anyone who knows me knows that I want lots of jokes, including gallows humor, at my funeral-wake in what I hope is the distant future.  So the jokes go on.

 

But a few thoughts first.

 

One,  we often joke that crooks are stupid. Today reminds us that not only is this often true, but also it really is a very good thing for humanity.   Dumb criminals are much easier to foil.  This fiend in Aurora is clearly very smart.   Crazy, but smart.

 

If we can’t agree on more gun control can we at least agree that we need more mental health funding?

    That we need mental health funding, yes. More, smart, less, dumb? What is best for humanity?

    Amen – Well said. I guess that we need enough mental health funding to get to the point where more people see that we need some serious gun control.
