Politics is Funny!
Humor is a most effective weapon of political polemic. It often cuts to the truth in a way contrived juxtaposition of "facts" can never do. It's why Churchill and Reagan were such skilled spokespersons for the values of free society, regardless of the stoic statists who sought to belittle those ideals. Stating the truth isn't always pretty or "nice," but it's superior to the weak-willed left's everpresent lack of self-honesty.
Conservatives and libertarians (non-socialists) want to confront the truth -- they are not "politically correct." By default they are often "funny" -- much more so than the dour, angst filled puritans of left-land. Leftists are typically tedious and overly self-serious in their desire to be seen as champions of "justice" (a self-deluded con if there ever was one) -- and, they're boring.
The phrases, "You're not one bit funny!," and "some things just aren't funny!," are likely uttered more by those with a left-of-center worldview than someone who "calls it as they see it." Some things aren’t funny, but saying that just sounds stupid, unless one is trying to prove they reside on some moral pedestal.
With this in mind, check out The People's Cube and their "not one bit funny" (e.g. really funny) take on a Democrats' possible responses to Hurricane Katrina.
