A humorist doesn't really do that much note-taking.

No humorist is under any obligation to provide answers and probably if you were to delve into the literary history of humour it's probably all about not providing answers because the humorist essentially says: this is the way things are.

Being a humorist is not a voluntary thing. You can tell this because in a situation where saying a funny thing will cause a lot of trouble, a humorist will still say the funny thing. No matter how inappropriate.

Fascism is very much a mob movement.

America is not a wily, sneaky nation. We don't think that way. We don't think much at all, thank God.
