Yesterday's punchline: Katie Couric.
Today's punchline: Michael Dukakis.
In an article in the New Yorker published in 1936, H. L. Mencken argues that "k words" are funny. "K, for some occult reason, has always appealed to the oafish risibles of the American plain people, and its presence in the names of many ... places has helped to make them joke towns ... for example, Kankakee, Kalamazoo, Hoboken, Hohokus, Yonkers, Squeedunk, "Stinktown" and Brooklyn."
Well, at least our fair author knows his core audience is oafs.

Maybe that's why Bill O'Reilly keeps comparing lefties to the KKK:
