    So what?

    I'm pushing 40, watch The Daily Show, own a business, Served in Iraq, think Al Gore should've been president...So what's the harm laughing at pointless jokes? Sometimes I don't want to laugh at the irony, stupidity, or hopelessness of where we're at. Sometimes I want to laugh with the goofy frat boy on stage. And I do. Rock on Bro! Time to go make a Sangwich....
