We think Sarah Silverman lists “comedian” as her occupation, so maybe this is the same sort of meta-joke that had ’em in stitches at the Democratic National Convention as she and fellow master of improvisation Sen. Al Franken attempted to stall for time.

Is this the punchline? Comedy isn’t like we remember it being back in the old days; you know, funny. There’s a lesson to be learned here, but we have no clue what it might be. Maybe some of these folks got the joke.

compassion, empathy, and consideration are seriously lacking in our self serving society of entitlement. It's a sad time.

When I'm teaching my high schoolers, I call that "intellectual empathy." Wish more people practiced it.
