    Ever see something so appalling and stupid that your immediate reaction is laughter, as a defense mechanism for your sanity? That’s what just happened to me.

      I do that. I think that’s a fine immediate reaction.

      The problem is when you do it in public and the people think you’re on their side. Then you get looks from the other side as if you’re condoning it. Meanwhile you’re just like, “it’s an internal tick I got! I don’t approve of any of this!”

      It got me too. I don’t know how to react other than to laugh because it’s just that far out there.
