I love a good election season.
I really do.
I love to debate issues and politics and can be a bit of a political news junkie.
However, there is nothing I love more than the humor in an election season.
I’m a pretty far to the left leaning liberal, but I am an equal opportunity political humor enthusiast.
Saturday Night Live during an election year makes me laugh until I start wheezing.
The Saturday after the vice-presidential debate was a pretty good one.
Here are some clips from that show.
And if you go back four years, there was nothing quite as entertaining as Tina Fey with her Palin impression.
Yet, it’s not just video humor.
Facebook is covered with photos with captions that make me smile.
My current favorite is this one:
Makes me laugh out loud every single time I see it.
Every. Single. Time.
Now, don’t get me wrong…I am serious about what is going on in this country and I take this election very seriously, as well.
I think there is more at stake, this year, than has ever been at stake before, with a few historic exceptions.
But, when there is so much at stake and when the political tone is so heavy, I think we need to be able to laugh.
Laugh at ourselves, laugh at the other guy, laugh at the mess we’ve all (both parties) gotten ourselves into.
It doesn’t mean that we take it all lightly.
It just makes it more bearable to make it through these tough times.
So, debate and discuss and rant and rave as is your right to do.
Just don’t forget to laugh.
