I want to extend my heartfelt apologies to my conservative readers for this post. There truly is no excuse for it. I can only say, by way of explanation and not exculpation, that I did not truly understand the extent to which conservatives lack a sense of humor. Being a liberal, I assume the best about people, and while writing the offending post I thought that most of you would find it somewhat funny, or at least would shrug it off and move on. I was sadly wrong. For that, and for hurting what passes for your feelings, I am deeply sorry.
If I could have it all to do over again, I would want to graft a sense of humor onto all of you before you were subjected to my insensitive, caustic, mildly amusing wit. Unfortunately, medical science has not yet progressed to the point that liberals can donate a sense of humor to you directly. For you to develop a sense of humor organically, you would first have to have a certain amount of intelligence, ability to keep things in perspective and emotional health - but then, you wouldn't be conservatives anymore, would you?
In future, I will label humor posts with a prominent warning so that buffoons and sensitive conservative readers may steer away in time. But I repeat myself.
My deepest, sincerest apologies.
OMG, You are too funny. I usually don't share my political orientation, well because I don't have one...lol. Except that I am definitely not conservative. I think your apology was right on and if stuffy people can't take it they shouldn't read it...lmao

Sorry, this wasn't clearly labeled. was it supposed to be funny? I guess I'm too stupid to understand. I mean, it wasn't funny. Not in an offensive way, but more like how a rock isn't funny. A blank tv screen isn't funny. Perhaps you don't understand the difference. I'll try to explain. I don't find your work offensive, are these words too big for you? I just don't see what's funny. It's like a calculator. See my point? A calculator isn't funny in and of itself. Something is missing.

No wonder no one votes for you.
Mary, I realise you're a conservative, and thus essentially stupid, but more people wanted Gore for President than wanted Bush.

I see, so it is ok to be liberal and make racist, offensive comments about someone as long as you reach for the "Just kidding" button days later.
Next time a conservative does the same and makes an off hand comment in public about someone based on their race, gender or both, I'll be sure to look for the "Look, he/she was just kidding" post on this blog.
Just so we are clear.
