Enough, already!

We have enormous respect for funny people.

A really good comic can slice through all kinds of social mores and get right down to the wacky truth of things with a well-worded joke, exceptional timing and canny observation (a la Seinfeld).

Before you know it, they have you busting a gut laughing at something you might simply accept as the status quo and otherwise defend to the death or feel powerless in the face of.

Truth is, few things are better than really good humor for cutting through cock-eyed or catastrophic thinking!

Which is why we love this bit from comedian Louis CK.

While on Conan O’Brien recently he let fly comedically about how the economic downturn might actually be something we need, ‘because everything’s actually amazing right now, but nobody’s happy’.

If you have 4 minutes, give this a watch.

And prepare to snort, chortle and think differently.

P.S. The last 20 seconds of this are a teeny bit crude, so buckle your virtual seat belt…
