In a letter I recently wrote to Ana Marie Cox (she hasn't returned the letter; hmm...), I mentioned how important it is to keep humor in our lives, especially when dealing with politics. "And truth-be-told, humor must always remain in political discussion. The people on the train who insist 'I hate politics' are the unfortunate ones who lack the sense of humor required to get excited by the tiniest bit of news."

Politics may be dark, and sometimes (okay, always) frustrating, however it makes the world turn and defines what we do everyday, so let's enjoy it...
