Re: Bliar is a Jesus botherer
When did comedy become so inextricibly linked with politics? There's nothing funny about making a decision to go to war and send people to their deaths. (as in every war) I don't understand why people like Jon Steward have such a strong voice in politics, when all they do is make fun of the system.Originally Posted by Tribesman
"And one should bear in mind that there is nothing more difficult to execute, nor more dubious of success, nor more dangerous to administer than to introduce a new order to things; for he who introduces it has all those who profit from the old order as his enemies; and he has only lukewarm allies in all those who might profit from the new. This lukewarmness partly stems from fear of their adversaries, who have the law on their side, and partly from the skepticism of men, who do not truly believe in new things unless they have personal experience in them."
~ Niccolo Machiavelli

Whether Blair prays or not is beside the point. No deity is responsible for his decisions. He alone is.

Makkyo , Can you think of a time when comedy wasn't linked to politics ?
It certainly stretches back as far as Greek democracy .
Politics is normally a farce , politicians are a joke , so it is natural material for comedy .
