That’s an urban legend, but many people actually believe that Doonesbury is funny.
Cute.

Hope this one hasn’t been posted 
Hillary at the Smithsonian.
15th century Fra Bartolomeo portrait of the Florentine madman Savonarola
latter-rain.com/eccle/savona.htm
[i]Savonarola delivered, or rather stuttered out. He was ugly, though strong in feature, unimposing in presence, awkward in bearing and in gesture
That’s the joke? A profile? :s
The description? Maybe, but does she stutter?
I thought prenology had been discredited.
Anyone see Stephen Colbert of The Daily Show at the recent WH Correspondents Dinner?
Here’s a video tribute to it :bravo:
The report says that it was “a more serious moment”, but I’ve gotta think that he was joking.
[quote=“George Bush on German resistance to the war in Iraq”]In a more serious moment, he said he understood German opposition to the war in Iraq.
"The Germans today simply don’t like war… And I can understand that.
“There is a generation of people whose lives were thrown into complete disarray by a horrible war.” [/quote]
Rather than Colin Powell, or Condi Rice, maybe the administration should have gotten Quaker’s Mikey to sell the war.
“Come on try it! You’ll like war.
Hey! They like it! The Germans like it!”

I think President Bush unwittingly hit the nail on the head. The German people, having been horribly duped by fanaticism in the recent past, are especially attuned to its dangers and the deceptions it employs to achieve its ends.

Yeah, I finally saw the entire video here. (Thanks, Amanda! 
)
Wow. Some very good stuff in there (amidst the weak stuff) – but it would have been more appropriate (and less painfully uncomfortable to watch) if Colbert had saved the nastier barbs (say, half of the ones on Iraq and the president) for the Daily Show’s audience.
Colbert is a very funny guy, but he seriously lacks an edit function. He doesn’t know when to stop, when he’s taken it too far or is just being childishly silly. If he had a bit more self-control and maturity, he might be comic genius.
