Fantastic synopsis on why comedians today just are not funny.

There are maybe one or two comedians that I would pay to see, and I would only pay a small piece of money to give them my time.

Saturday Night Live was banished from my screen years ago. Why? Not funny.

When comedians replace vulgar for funny, I'm finished with them, especially if they use the Lord's name in vain; then, I am really done.

Possibly, you are right that we should re-visit William Shakespeare to find his true irony of comedy nuggets. Everyday, as I get a little bit older, I get Bill Shakespeare. The man never used the Lord's name in vain, truly understood the human condition in both tragedy and comedy, and knew how to score with the crowd at a time when England was a very tough stage ply his trade.

The man not only was brilliant, he had some big artistic "balls".

Norm is one of the few funny comedians today, who generally stays away from political humor; however, he does often poke fun at hypocrisy, a comedic act that does expose that sensibility of most Liberals at one time or another.

If Norm made any mistake here, he should not have apologize to any of these extra offended intellectual weenies for just being himself - Norm.

Beautifully put B.T. Please make this into a post, modified or not, it would be a post of perfect truth.

We want to believe that what we do, or did was right, when survival was our greatest instinct; whether in war or just fighting our way through society.

Right you are Alex, no, very right you are.

This Democratic Republic is the people, and when The People become increasingly stupid, and put into elected office Ass Clowns like Corey Bookers and Kamala Harris, it just reminds me how fortunate we are to have the Electoral College for the election of president.

The longevity of this Republic will always depend upon the intelligence of our People, and when stupidity reigns supremely, it will be close to over unless we have a second civil war.

I know what side I will be on. I think it wise that we shepard our friends and families to that Right side, which will always be the right side of history.

Cory Booker is such an Ass Clown, I just had to mix this into the batch, double time.

Thank-you, as one hard working American to another like minded citizen, for your endeavor to better your life and those around you.

I am forever in search of ambition folks who want to a part of what I create to better the lives of others.

They are difficult to find, as the work ethic in America quickly deteriorates.

The pick of the Supreme Court Justice is too important to leave in the hands of Socialists, and, I reckon, this reality is realized when a party of Socialists keep losing elections.

Thanks Hood for pushing bureaucrats to do their respective jobs.

A belated thank-you for your wise and most appropriate comment here.

I loved this scene, and, I miss John Wayne. He was truly larger than life for some reason; wasn't a great actor at all; I think is was because of just one thing - substance. The man was imbued with great substance.

This is a Southern matter, and you are well qualified to pontificate on all things southern, especially the War of Northern Aggression.

Georgia was terribly burned and ravaged by W.T. Sherman, and North Carolina lost more of their population to the war than any other southern state. You (we) are extra qualified to discuss thee disgusting overprivileged children destroying something that they do not have the base intelligence to understand.

Taking down Silent Sam was a full blown party for the stupid, of which Chapel Hill keeps a regular supply, and as many as can be prosecuted should be.

The DOJ may be worse than the EPA as far as systemic corruption (they are mostly lawyers), and this President must have an attorney general that will root out that corruption.

I was never a Trump fan and voted for him like I voted for John McCain rather than what was far worse.

The one that I have well noticed about Mr. Trump is that, with all his bluster and past misdeeds, he is far and away the best president that we have had since Ronald Reagan, and that is most important for this Republic at this terrible stage we find ourselves in.

Or lack there of (historical knowledge). I am in full agreement Ted.

The Viking culture is a strong culture, and for good or evil, honed a strong broad-shouldered people.

Similarly, the Germanic folk of Germany, Scotland and England /Ireland, and northern France, because of their Nordic influence, are a hard working people as well.

B.T.: What if President Kennedy had not screwed up the Bay of Pigs, and then went in full force to keep Cuban an United States Protectorate: Would he have been so ready to get us into the war by defending South Vietnam? AS if for no other reason but to convince American Hawks that he would adhere to the Truman Doctrine to the fullest after letting an American Territory - Cuba - slip away without a real fight.

This is why we have Trump as president. Not only would he have fought in Cuba with American troops, but he would have cut a deal with Ho Chi Minh to bring him under our watchful eye with certain benefits. All Ho ever wanted was to have 'American Liberty', and that meant getting the French out of Vietnam.

Tom: Do you ever consume any media such as CNN and MSNBC? Or, are you immune to their dishonesty as so-called journalists?

You can turn to either outlet and within 30 seconds, you will hear the words Donald Trump, and when you hear those words, there is a 95% chance that the reporting is negative.

If the history of America is begun from the headlines of our current events, that reporting needs to be honest. When it is not, which is often the case for these Democrat Media outlets, the American public is being screwed up into believing what is false, hence, these pathetic and very stupid journalists that you support are proponents of the "Fake News", and in some sense are the "Enemies of the People".

Bobby Tony, Thank-you for the relevance of time marching onward with or without us.

Matt "Guitar" Murphy is dead at 88 (he looked great in the Blues Brothers); you still look great and still making a difference at 73; "all hail the conquering warrior".

"GOOD Morning Vietnam"!

Thanks for the brief walk down your memory lane. It was a pleasant and nostalgic (if only by transference) stroll.

You nailed it B.T.

Lately, there has been a bunch of "false and misleading information"; food for the swamp it is.
