I'm not sure quite how far back, Dave mentioned something about how conservative humourists seemed like they were trying too hard, or maybe just didn't know what humour is, really, but they heard all the pretentious liberals were doing it, and so they have to get on board. Now, finally, there is proof that Dave was just another ass in a suit. Obama does have hilariously large ears! Thank you, Present Discontent, the people did need a laugh. God! ! (wink!) (the wink makes it ironic!) (Irony is humourous!).
Slightly more intriguing, as I recently finished writing about the Gilded Age, is this video about how Ford can't build an truly "advanced" automobile plant because Labour doesn't like it. This is probably true. All of us who had so much fun during the Carnegie Steel Strikes know that Vertical Integration is the best way to increase national industrial output - the country almost entirely halted its industrial growth following the Progressive reforms at the turn of the century and the communist revolution that we didn't have. Fuck fancy cars, if we hadn't pussied out to Labour, we might make most superior potassium on planet! I think my favorite part, though, is the implication that the American auto industry is being held back because Ford is forced to outsource its best work to our samba-loving neighbors. If only our workers would accept exploitative quasi-trusts to operate in our country, maybe Toyota would come and open a plant here! (The comments drive me wild!)
