So, do I just not think these stories are funny because I'm American? That was just, well, stupid.

For the non sophisticates (that means non euros)

Its a matter of time before they get more nuclear

Therefore we must be nice to them

Or else they will develop

It's called satire, fairly common in this part of the world, I can't help it that stupid American Conservatives make such easy targets.

Of course Americans are all empty headed Bozos (Bozo is/was a clown for all you non-Americans). Makes you wonder how they became the world's only super power doesn't it?

Some British humor rules, some falls flat on it's nose. This one is a bleeder bigtime.

And it now needs tape for it's broken glasses.

I think it's pretty funny.

Makes a statement about the ease at which the current administration can pull the wool over the American people's eyes. Spot on if you read between the lines.

As compared to, say, Britian's administration, or Russia's, or Iran's, or Canada's?

Nothing really new presented there about the nature of politics and governing bodies. Some are, just plain better at it because they've been doing it longer.

Yep, I know what satire is. I also know what funny is, and that ain't it. I haven't found anything or anyone yet that I felt should not be made fun of, so I'm certainly not offended by it. I'm just also not amused by it.

I laughed my arse off...And I would have laughed at a similar good story about my own, or any other goverment that I somewhat know.
