A link in a link in a link in a link (seriously) let me to this brilliant column by a very talented student at the University of Michigan:
As I walked, I slipped on a patch of wet leaves lining the steps of the Hatcher, and I fell forward headfirst onto the steps of the library. If it hadn’t been for the left hand that I thrust out right before my fall, I would have ended up just another statistic in the war on colored people. As it were, a white cis-gendered hetero upper-class man came down the steps just as I was falling. He looked at me with that white man’s burden face that I see too often on this racialized campus.
The guy is seriously gifted. I laughed until I almost hurt myself. OK, I’ve got to go reread the piece because it’s too good only to be read once.
I snorted in laughter twice.
Very few conservative attempts at humor are genuinely funny. Have you read any P.J. O’ Rourke? I really liked Holidays in Hell.

Humor doesn’t have politics. If it does, it stops being humor.
