Funny Politics

The Sweet Potato Queens like men. They like them so much that they have devoted an absolutely inordinate amount of time to the pursuit of men, marriage, and great sex.

Let's be honest: Life did not come with a user's manual. Sure you probably got the basics growing up - don't touch hot stoves, tie your shoes, say "please" even when you want to scream. But no one sat you down and explained the truly weird, invisible stuff - like how to exit a conversation without sounding rude, why everyone suddenly becomes a weatherman when small talk runs dry, or how to understand what "let's do lunch sometime" actually means. This book is all about all that and more. It is a tour through the stuff you weren't taught - but were expected to just "get" somewhere alone the ...

The Russian humor of the 21st century is quite different from the middle of the 20th. Gone are the bread lines, the Communist party, and one-room dwellings in a communal house. No one is sent to the Gulag for making a joke. Even for jokes about Putin, even when they compare him to a Czar. So the Russian people’s humor adapts. It has become more philosophical on the one hand or moved into the family and business arenas on the other. The jokers can be rich but are mostly poor. They can be of average intelligence but are mostly wise. They may have enemies but rise above the hatred. They are ...

"Why do conservatives hate comedy? Why is there no right-wing Jon Stewart?" These sorts of questions launch a million tweets, a thousand op-eds, and more than a few scholarly analyses. That's Not Funny argues that it is both an intellectual and politically strategic mistake to assume that comedy has a liberal bias. Matt Sienkiewicz and Nick Marx take listeners—particularly self-described liberals—on a tour of contemporary conservative comedy and the "right-wing comedy complex."

"Slut" is a great word. It just sounds perfect—so sharp and clear and beautiful. It's one of those satisfying four letter words, like c--t and f--k. Slut also happens to be an anagram for lust, which is one of those divine coincidences that makes you wonder if God actually exists. We're lucky that slut is such a great word, because it's safe to say that almost every woman will be called a slut at least once in her lifetime. Despite a slowly shifting sexual double standard, it's still taboo to be a woman who's openly sexual—let alone one who sleeps around.

Charles Portis, author of True Grit, got John Wayne his only Oscar. He once had Karl Marx’s old gig (as the London bureau chief for the New York Herald-Tribune). He’s written four other novels, three of them masterpieces, though which three is up for debate. Here’s 7,000 words about a guy you’ve never heard of. But should, we say.
