I'm taking a moment to be thankful for comedy.
The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, The Onion. (Colbert gets a mention because of the unbelievable that-takes-balls speech he gave with Bush sitting right behind him.)
Thank you for taking issues that make me so mad I could cry and turning them into something I can laugh about: Clever turns of phrase or a perfectly acted fake arguement that simultaneously make me feel better, while mocking others.
For example, this week, The Onion has a great story on a new abortion alternative: a pill to kill the mom, not the fetus.
If I couldn't laugh about these things, enjoying the temporary relief from my outrage, my life would feel far gloomier.
