Gallows humor: Sequestration style  Wednesday - 4/3/2013, 2:00am
EDT  Thanks to the confusion and complexity of sequestration,
and the fear of furloughs among government workers, a new form
of dark humor seems to be developing. It's about time, too...
Back in the day, before political correctness made us all
better, over-the-hill comedians in cheap night clubs could get

wheel!!!"  Gross. As a four-time father-in-law I don't find that
amusing...  Can you believe that anybody, even the vilest
married man, would be so low, so thoughtless, so wrong as to

little better in government circles thanks to the current
threats facing their jobs and paychecks. With a jump start
