You might have heard some grumbling from a few folks about the high cost of the presidential inauguration. The tanked economy is a drag for most people but not the inauguration party goers. Barack Obama giving his weekly address explains that celebrating the peaceful transition to a new president is a tradition we cant do without. Change.gov

There aren't many things that make us feel more human than laughter and lack of fur. Remember when your exposed skin froze to the playground equipment and all the other kids laughed at you. Don't laugh it's not funny. In a way this blog is for myself to get me writing more. If someone snickers a little when they read this then mission accomplished. I cant think of subject more fun than the emphatically humorous nature of the human condition. So lets start this adventure off with a quote from an author who I think excelled in this genre.

Laugh or Die

"[Humanity], in its poverty, has unquestionably one really effective weapon laughter. Power, money, persuasion, supplication, persecution, these can lift at a colossal humbug, push it a little, weaken it a little, century by century; but only laughter can blow it to rags and atoms at a blast. Against the assault of laughter nothing can stand." Mark Twain
