Conflicted

I have run across some very funny political jokes lately. Not necessarily pertaining to the upcoming Presidential elections… things like US corporations moving overseas, border patrol, workforce, etc.

Now, I see both sides of many of these issues. I’m laid back and roll with the punches. The biggest problems is – I don’t wan’t to alienate a large group of people for telling off color jokes regarding these. or any other, topics.

Why is it okay for me to make fun of women? Duh, I am one. Homosexuals? Again, am one. Southerners? Ditto. But when it comes to some edgy things, I tend to shy away from them.

I am personally taking away my 1st amendment rights – the right to free speech. I’m too sensitive, some might say. I’m a coward, perhaps. But, mostly, I think the world is an ugly enough place as it is right now… I don’t need to add anything to the recipe.

Send me a note if I’ve offended you in the past. We can talk about it or I can just apologize. I can tell you that I’ve passed up many “jokes” that have literally left people rofl. I read them and it comes across as commentary – sometimes positive, sometimes negative.

In the next 24-hours or so, I have a joke coming out about the American workforce. Having been part of one group mentioned in the joke, I’m okay with it. It does ring of commentary too. So, be looking for “The Proverbial Creek…” and think of this post. Realize that is the “cleanest” of these “political jokes”. *shrug*
