    @beastybeasty: I...don't think I intimated that she shouldn't be in the media? She can go in front of a tv camera every damn day and talk about the glory of clowns, and I'd still defend her right to do so.


    I object to her being painted as any kind of icon for feminism, and I *really* object to her being held up as a feminist literary scholar, but that's about framing, and not her right to get up there and spout off about the unfunnyness of women. Have at it, Germaine. And I will continue to hate on you from afar.

    The "comic" irony: my Dad still raves about how funny Greer was in the Footlights Revue in Cambridge during her student days.

    Sadie, I love you forever for your love of Barbara Pym, who is, indeed, hilarious, even though I'm very sure a large portion of people would never notice.

    I am one of those useful ladies that laugh easily. I never minded when guys were obviously trying to make me laugh to impress me. But do you know what? I tried to make them laugh as well. And I often did.


    I remember a few years back (longish backstory) riding in a combine in a wheat field in Montana with this 22 year old farmer. We were both sort of foreign to one another, thanks to our upbringing, and he was laconic in certain ways. I forget WHAT I said, but I will never forget the pleasure and accomplishment of making him laugh.


    I don't just sit back and laugh, I poke at the other person and do all I can to amuse them. It's a challenge, and it's fun sometimes. And sometimes it's just my default, sarcastic setting.


    The point is, I love you Hitchens, I really do, but no. Just no.

    @Stagtasticfantastic: A million times agreed! Humor is a great way to make you and others feel comfortable, and it's hard to be able to cross certain cultural boundaries, as humor is just so subjective.


    I have long said that if you want to be friends with me (don't cuss!... oh wait.), you have to think I'm funny. I crack jokes all the time, and if no one laughs, I feel awkward and embarrassed. Which makes me dislike the situation. And probably you. So, it's best if you find me funny.


    Therefore, all my friends think I'm hilarious and my gigantic ego is fed! :D

    Samantha Bee makes me laugh a lot more than any of the fellas on the Daily Show. She's so amazingly good at keeping a straight face, it's like she's an alien.
