Random Thoughts: Ted Kennedy, Religious Freedom, and The Daily Show

For good satire, you need to get to the heart of the issue. I just can’t fathom thinking so lightly on a topic to get the Borowitz take.

I don’t like attacking someone else attempting to do humor — as we all fail — but he’s like a parody of intellectual laziness.

Maybe it’s like an Andy Kaufman routine, though, and he’s more brilliant than us all.

If you ever don’t like a tweet of mine, please note that it’s possible that at some point in time I was hacked.

We need to stop Christians from forcing their beliefs on us about how we shouldn’t be forcing beliefs on them.

If you’re a Dem who can’t admit Ted Kennedy was an awful person, then it’s hypocritical to attack a Republican for absolutely anything.

Left don’t have a live and let live attitude. They feel there are people out there with wrong viewpoints, and they want gov to punish them.

“If you destroy religious freedom, we’ll all get cake.” #TheCakeIsALie

Once there was a civil rights movement that wasn’t primarily dishonest posturing. I read about it in a history book.

I hadn’t paid attention to The Daily Show since Craig Kilborne left. What’s going on?

Don’t get the problem. Does host of The Daily Show need to be bright or does he need to be able to read a teleprompter and make funny faces?

  1. FrankJ does the almost-impossible, and gets “Ted Kennedy” and “Religious Freedom” in the same sentence (title)! Alternate Title:

    Mary Jo, Marry Joe, Merry Show.
    (Yes, it’s more Mao-y show than Merry show, but I’m alliterate.)

  2. I looked at Trevor Noah’s “anti-semitic” tweets. They’re in questionable taste, but as jokes, they’re solidly constructed, and they’re just playing on racial/religious stereotypes. If it offends you, I recommend avoiding old Joey Bishop clips.

    Anyway, I’ve written worse about the Irish, and I doubt there’s a spud-munching bog-trotter out there sober enough to tell me different.

  3. In this weeks installment of Ripley’s Believe it or Not:
    The Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993, is a 1993 United States federal law that “ensures that interests in religious freedom are protected.” The bill was introduced by Congressman Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on March 11, 1993. A companion bill was introduced in the Senate by Ted Kennedy the same day. A unanimous U.S. House and a near unanimous U.S. Senate with three dissenting votes passed the bill, and President Bill Clinton signed it into law.
