I do not mean for this post to be offensive, nor do I want anyone to belittle either the impact of HIV / AIDS on the world in general and Africa in specific. For those who believe this comic is in vastly poor taste and think that AIDS is no laughing matter, I refer you to these words:

Everything human is pathetic. The secret source of Humor itself is not joy but sorrow. There is no humor in heaven.

– Mark Twain
Following the Equator

We absolutely must laugh at what causes us fear or sorrow; the only alternatives are rage or despair. Besides - knowing men, a Playstation or Xbox would be an effective means of reducing the spread of infections through sex.

United States Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson, Jr. is serving up the Democrats’ dream of the Free Lunch. Of course the menu is somewhat limited…

First the Bail-Out of the financial markets, then a probable bail-out of the “Big 3″ automobile manufacturers - which is really a bail-out of the United Auto Workers union - Paulson’s and the Democrats’ soup kitchen never closes.

Ok - just to show everyone that some Republicans can laugh at both ourselves and our candidates I’d like to point out that I find this particular picture from LOL News & Politics to be very, very funny.

LOL - That’s right! Cindy McCain is not just some trophy wife; she’s also a wealthy heiress and Sugar Mamma. I guess that makes Sen. John McCain her Kept Man.
