Postmodernist Philosophy
I was trying to explain what the postmodernist philosophy concept of deconstructionism meant to Beatle_Addict and she replied:
"So I broke my TV and I'm not any smarter"
I think she refuted Derrida in one sentence.

I found something that I found extremely amusing, but somehow I doubt that I'd be allowed to link to The Passion of the Christ set to Yakety Sax.

Sex and apple cake on Soap
Soap was one of my favorite shows in the late '70s, and I still think it was one of the most clever sitcoms ever conceived. It was abruptly cancelled after four seasons due to complaints from people who were offended by scenes like this one, wherein four of the main female characters discuss sex as they devour an apple cake. It might seem tame in terms of content, but the humor hasn't lost one bit of its currency. This is absolutely hilarious!

Ballad Of Complete Astonishment
It shook me like a thunderbolt;
it shocked me to the very core.
I felt my mind and frame revolt,
and fell, half-fainting, to the floor;
and there, in prayer and sorrow bent
I whispered one word only --- "Kent!"
He told me of a talking snake,
of magic fruit on magic trees,
how half of science is a fake,
and other certain facts like these.
Words cannot speak of my surprise
to learn that such a man tells lies.
He told me how, disdaining blood
before the Fall, the carnivores
cropped grass, and of a magic flood,
how Noah saved the dinosaurs;
he proved, with math, the Earth was youthful;
who'd guess he'd ever be untruthful?
Explain this riddle if you will:
he spoke of dragons breathing fire
and how they live among us still ---
is that the action of a liar? ---
the kind of person who'd regale
the taxman with a fairy tale?
Sin, Hovind said, made God quite vexed
in Eden, where the magic trees are,
But Genesis was all his text,
neglecting "Render unto Caesar".
Seems all the Bible Hovind knew
was chapter one and chapter two.
That faithful servant of the Lord,
that meek, that humble, honest guy,
the last man you'd suspect of fraud,
was one, I thought, who couldn't lie.
But written on the wall, I guess,
is "Tekel, Upharsin --- IRS".

Grabbed this from another message board and just had to share it:
Now here's my caption:

Second to the last panel:
"They [the Republicans] alienated our allies and embroiled us in a futile war -- and now it turns out they're demons from the blackest depths of Hell!"
"On the other hand, Democrats support gay marriage."
"Better mark us as 'undecided.'"
Fortunately that didn't happen this election.
