Cheap laughs

Department of Unnecessary Corrections:

Thanks to the the correspondents who pointed out, in response to this post, that I am not a liberal. Well, actually, I am, in the original sense of the word. But of course it is quite true that I am not a liberal in the American usage. Which is, um, why that was funny. Ish.

It wasn't funny back when Reagan tried to use the same line, Megan, n it ain't funny now. Stop with the jokes. Go back to talking about race or inner city schools. Less painful.
