From...Joel Stein

Ah, the sweet relief of humor

Joel Stein used to write for Entertainment Weekly, but now writes for the LA Times. Most of his editorials are focused on serious issues, but laced with humor and satire. (He's friends with Simpson writers!) Generally good stuff. He tends to make a lot of folks mad, which is always a good sign in my book--stir up the masses. He always pledges never to read his reader's email rants. And I'm not really sure what his political allegiance is, which is a pretty good position for a man of humor. If I had to guess I would say a right-center Democrat or Independent. Hey, you can't live in LA and be a Republican and walk around.

His latest is a little memo to the undecided voter entitled
Still undecided? Then just don't vote.

Other past gems include:

How to make fun of Obama, among the tips are such nuggets: He's a nerd, He's manorexic, and, his name is weird. (From July)

What's so bad about foreign oil?

He's got Obamaphilia, his insight back in February about the Cult of Obama. This was the article that got my attention.
