Unsafe at Safeway
It was Steve Allen, and later Lenny Bruce, who said that “Comedy is
tragedy plus time.” But everything is accelerating. Even the rate of
acceleration is accelerating. The time between tragedy and comedy gets
shorter and shorter. The more horrible the news is, the more victims there
are to involuntarily serve as setups for punchlines.

are to involuntarily serve as setups for punchlines.
Reality has long been nipping at the heels of comedy, and it finally
caught up. Example: On the same day that people were being burned alive
in the fire at the Branch Davidian headquarters in Waco, Texas, Jay Leno
did a joke in his Tonight Show monologue about there being two kinds of
cult members there-- “regular and crispy.”

Of course, events like the recent madman massacre outside a
Safeway supermarket can be challenging. How could made-up humor
possibly top the actual absurdity of mass murderer Jared Loughner asking
his MySpace friends not to be mad at him. After all, he was merely
planning to indiscriminately kill as many innocent human beings as he
could, with democracy itself as collateral damage.

The night before Loughner committed his senseless slaughter, he
had taken photos of himself posing with his gun while wearing a bright
