55. Thomas Huxley moment here
I understand that when Thomas Huxley first heard about the theory of evolution, he said something like, "it's so obvious, I can't believe I didn't think of it."

I knew that conservatives couldn't be funny by definition, no matter how clever they are. But until I read this: the basic conflict between comedy and authority. , I didn't know why.

Excellent. (Imagine C. Montgomery Burns here if you must.)
