What's gotten into Wiley Miller (Non Sequitur)?
And why is it that people who feel compelled to make Gitmo/PATRIOT ACT/[etc.] references don't seem to feel the least bit of obligation to be funny, even darkly funny?
Compare the best "America under George W. Bush" joke you've ever heard to the worst Soviet joke you've ever heard. (OK, maybe worst other than the Yakov Smirnov "In Soviet Russia, noun verbs you!" meme.) In fact, you can compare them directly just by global replacing the relevant proper nouns.
I'm dead convinced that the Soviet jokes are a thousand times funnier, and it's not just because of my own political bent.
