They shoot dead horses, don't they?

It seems the press has taken an interest in the "state" of the Clinton's marriage. As Hillary gears up for a presidential bid, she has urged friends and family not to respond to press inquires into what that state may be.

Some have argued this line of questioning constitutes an invasion of privacy and isn't relevant to Hillary, now an accomplished politician in her own right. Others have countered since Hillary likely owes her political career to the state of her marriage the public has a right to know.

I lean towards the later POV. In fact ....


... All right, I was about fire off a whole series of jokes involving Kato Kalin, David Lee Roth, Jessica Hahn, Keith Smart and maybe some other people. There would have been a Lewinsky kicker. The jokes probably weren't that funny -- they were definitely lazy. Even funny jokes about Hillary Clinton are lazy.

Once I was flipping channels and I came across the animated sitcom King of the Hill. It wasn't a show I had really watched previously, or had thought about watching, but before I could move on the fat kid on the show kicked this dude right smack in the balls.

It completely cracked me up. The kid then preceded to kick about 10 more people full force in the crotch before the commercial break. All the kicks were completely unprovoked and completely hilarious. I was trying to eat at the time, and all sorts of stuff came out my nose. Could have been the most funny seven minutes of TV I'd ever seen.

Yet, I was never compelled to watch King of the Hill again.

So we will try to stay away from Hillary jokes on this blog. Or Bush jokes for that matter.

But if Al Gore runs for president again . . . all bet's are off.
