Oh, man, I wish I had written this!
It seems that Sister Toldjah’s former Senator, John Edwards, populist and man of the people, went on a bike ride with Lance Armstrong and some cyclists, as part of a campaign tour. From Brian of Iowa Voice:
“This is actually not hard, this is fun,†Edwards said as he climbed a hill on County Road T16 on a black Trek road bike he borrowed for the day. “The biggest problem is my butt hurts. Is that normal?â€â€œDo you want some Chamois Butt’r?†Peter Klein, of Beloit, Wisc., asked him.
“What’s that?†Edwards said, as a string of riders from Team Trousermouse cruised past.
Klein, a 27-year-old with a beard and round John Lennon-style sunglasses, explained that it’s a skin cream cyclists use to prevent chafing and soothe saddle sores. He handed the senator a travel-sized packet and said he hoped it helped.
The guy gave him ass cream! Bwa-hahahahahaha! Oooh, boy (wiping tears from my eyes).
You know…if this guy gets elected, we’re ALL going to be using that stuff. By the time he and his socialist friends in Congress get done with us, we won’t be sitting down for a loooooong time.
Hope it’s not more than 3 oz or he will have to put it in his checked baggage.
Oh, silly me. I forgot. The 3 oz rule doesn’t apply to private jets, does it?

Well, I am kind of worried about Mr Edwards. The photo above shows him being safe, and wearing a bike helmet, which is good, but, what will it do to his hair?
This could be another tragedy in the making — or another reason to fly his hairdresser half-way across the country.
Dana, I’ve noticed something recently about your posts…
Dana jumps over sharks on water skis like the Fonz?
heh?
Well, Phoe, I’m sorry that you didn’t particularly like the article above, but please note that it was published under humor!
Of course, Brian’s original was making fun of the Chamois BUTT’r Mr Edwards was handed; this is what we’ll need if he actually wins:

Uh-huh
*sigh* Ah, yes, the “conservatives don’t like humor” argument.
I’m sure the author loves both South Park and Team America, much better examples of conservative humor than any of the ones picked to hold up the strawman.
I’m not sure there’s anything less funny than someone sitting around trying to analyze what’s funny and what’s not. The best humor comes naturally. You don’t need to study and analyze it like some insect under a microscope.
PS for all around humor, it’s next to impossible to top PJ O’Rourke. Part of it is because he just has a natural talent for it (as former editor-in-chief of National Lampoon magazine), part of it is he’s willing to take real, physical risks for a laugh, as in his book Holidays in Hell, and a big part of it is he never takes himself too seriously, something most liberals are genetically incapable of doing.

I made a promise. I am trying to be good, really I am.
*sigh* Ah, yes, the “conservatives don’t like humor†argument.
As ever, sharon, your functional illiteracy is a shining example of the failings of the American educational system.
“There are two major areas of humour I’d like to consider – not the only two, but they cut a large swathe through the field of laughs. The first is subversion or category displacement. The joke teller sets up an expectation and then subverts it. They lead the audience into making unexpected mental connections. The second is that of cruelty, of inviting the audience to engage in shared derision of a target. You’ll note this doesn’t cover the entire spectrum – “The Aristocrats”, for example, falls into neither category.”
[...]
“Both ends of the spectrum, however, can enjoy cruelty.”
In other words, I was making a point about the types of humour enjoyed by different types of people – and not quite liberal vs conservative, either.
Have you considered a remedial reading class yet?
Sounds like your brand of “humor” is acting like a complete snot …
Acting? I’m hurt.
Have you considered a remedial reading class yet?
Have you considered a remedial logic class yet? It would certainly help you.
No it wouldn’t. Trying to teach calculus to your dog would be less of a waste of time and effort.
