SNL Funny? …What an odd change of pace.

Something interesting has been going on with television lately.  No, not the Emmys – those are never interesting.  It appears that Saturday Night Live has actually grown a pair and gotten funny again.  I had lost all hope and jumped off that bandwagon years ago, but some of the latest political sketches have got me wanting to come back.

I am glad that SNL started taking a point of view again. The fact that people have actually gotten upset by the recent John McCain and Sarah Palin sketches (which were brilliant) only makes it more funny.  I completely agree with Times columnist James Poniewozik, “Comedy doesn’t have to be balanced; it has to be funny.” Those who are upset should let the SNL writers do their job and find something else that is actually worth getting upset about.
