are you saying they were still able to pass meaningful legislation? Or are you saying that ignorance of basic facts results in bad laws? Confused.

so I normally go to YouTube and bring up particular scenes, stand up bits, and talk shows that I KNOW will make me laugh. Of course, it's all personal and depends on one's specific sense of humor.

"Drunk History" did a killer portrayal of it, last night. There was a contest for the design of the memorial, and the winner was a 20 year-old Yale architecture student, Maya Lin. Controversy broke out immediately---the military types didn't like the spare, abstract design; they expected statues of soldiers, flags, etc. etc. Ross Perot withdrew a sizeable donation to the project, because he didn't like the way it looked. And there was some out-and-out hostility to the design, because of Maya Lin's Asian heritage. It ultimately got built, of course, and Lin's design has influenced subsequent monuments (Oklahoma City, Twin Towers).

Paddy goes into a pub, and orders three pints. Drinks em and leaves. Comes in the next day orders three pints drinks em, and leaves. This goes on for a few days and the owner of the pub asks him why he’s drinking three pints. Paddy says that he’s drinking for his two brothers who are in other parts of the world as they made a pact that they’d each have the pints as a reminder of the love they share for each other. Well the next day Paddy comes in and only orders two pints of Guinness, the bartender, says oh so sorry, did one of your brothers die?? Paddy laughs and says no, it’s Ash Wednesday and I’ve given up the beer for Lent. 😂 ☘️ I’m sure it’s not quite the real joke I was told but it’s pretty close.
