Did you ever watch an old movie along with a bunch of inebriated friends that was supposed to be dead on serious, but was so hokey and preposterous that every line of it's dialog evoked hysterical laughter from everyone? You'd watch it and the laughs would come from the irony that there were actually people, perhaps your parents and grandparents who took it seriously. That's how I felt about the GOP/Teabag debates. I couldn't believe that there are actually people out there who took the garbage that was spewing from their hateful mouths seriously!
All of the above gives me an idea. The Republicans are always claiming that their nonsense will create jobs. Here's how they can directly create some jobs immediately. The recession created unemployment in almost all sectors and the entertainment sector is no exception. There are plenty of unemployed comedy writers out there who want to get themselves off the unemployment "entitlement" that Republicans oppose so vigorously. The Republicans should hire some of those comedy writers as speech and debate dialog writers!
Think about the benefits and possibilities of comedy writers working for the Republicans:
- Comedy writers are unionized and will insist on working for union scale, aggravating the Republicans.
- Saturday Night Live could put their speeches and debates directly on the air, talk about efficiency.
- Finally, your average slack-jawed TV viewer will know that it's time to laugh when a Republican speech or debate is on the news, instead of taking it seriously and voting for them!
Let's get the Republicans to put their money where their mouth is with this new "private sector" jobs program! I think that it will make the laughs trickle down!
