Finally, somebody recognizes the real problem in Washington, DC: a lack of sufficient humor. I've been griping about this harmful level of seriousness since I moved to the District in 2004, but does anybody listen to me?

It's not like Washington lacks raw material for humor. How about DeLay pointedly asking, "How do you know you really have power until you abuse it?" And how about those terminally timid Democrats on Capitol Hill? If Scripture is accurate in saying that the meek will inherit the earth, then Senate Democrats can look forward to being land barons.
