THE ABSURD TIMES
Everybody has to loosen up a bit. Wanda Sykes was funny at the White House Correspondents Dinner. Her delivery was great for her material and, the real test, she got great laughs. If they laugh, it is funny. that's it.
"Dick Cheney says he hopes this country fails. Well I hope his kidneys fail -- how 'bout that?"
Not "over the line." Every worthwhile comedian, by the way, is attacked by those he (or she) skewers. LBJ and Nixon didn't find Mort Sahl very funny, either.
