[Healeys] Comment for what it is worth

[Bob Spidell]

I'm not offended by political humor of any stripe.  In fact, I usually enjoy it.

What I read this morning was a right-leaning, mildly amusing political joke, followed by a heartfelt and poignant rejoinder from an opposing view.  Then, several people attacked the latter under the guise of "no politics on the List," completely ignoring the original, political joke.  So I took a stand.

My feeling is we either allow political humor from both sides, or neither.
