I was disappointed at the LACK of shuttle jokes. This article is not satiric.
I found the news coverage following the space shuttle extremely revolting and
patriotic. While Reagan is murdering hundreds of people daily around the
world, he is deeply saddened by seven people's deaths, when these seven people
knew that they were taking a chance. I am not disagreeing that these deaths
were awful, but then quite a few deaths are, aren't they? People are
complaining about shuttle jokes much more furiously than anyone did about Rock
Hudson jokes and I find that appalling.
Jokes are often a very valid and effective method of refuting ridiculous
but popular perspectives of current events. I think that a rash of shuttle
jokes would do all of us some good. Besides which, they would probably be
quite funny.
