Some Humor!
Have you seen this on the news? Some politician is speaking and suddenly someone shouts out, “Mic check!!” Then that person says something and the crowd repeats him, and he says something else and the crowd repeats that. It is both creative and silly, and on some level rude. But I have to laugh because what is being shouted is no more silly than what the politician is saying.
I think it started with the Occupy Wall Street people to help amplify a speaker’s voice without an electronic microphone system. One of the more entertaining moments is when Karl Rove was speaking and someone shouted, “Mic check!!” Then he said,
Karl Rove is the architect! (referring to Rove’s political label)
(The crowd repeats this)
Karl Rove is the architect of occupy Iraq!
(crowd repeats)
Karl Rove is the architect of occupy Afghanistan!
(crowd repeats)
At this juncture Rove shouts out,
If you believe in free speech you’ll shut up!
You know what? I used to think professional wrestling was silly and entertaining. I have a feeling this coming election cycle is going to be better than a Ringling Brother’s Circus show! Let me try it.

Mic check!!”
(echo mic check)
Politics is worthless!!”
(echo politics is worthless)

Hey, this is fun!
( A small dash of humor for us all!)
