I can't tell you how happy it makes me to know our federal government has a sense of humor.

I think we're about to reach a point where internet humor and government and humor finally converge. Congress has basically been trolling the American people (minus anyone actually getting to laugh about it) for most of the last decade, and they're finally getting trolled back by the likes of internet-driven campaigns like Mint the Coin.

I think this is a great development. As a DC resident, I can attest to everyone here taking themselves far too seriously.

Sometimes we forget that the government is really a conglomeration of (mostly) normal people and just an amorphous blob of ludocracy.

Not in all countries, in fact, in most countries governments consist of goblins. I think there is a correlation between the national wealth and the percentage of normal people in the government.

I can't tell you how jealous it makes the others, whose governments a sense of humor lack!

A lack of a sense of humor was never very high of my list of concerning and horrifying features of the federal government.

The Bill of Rights? Who cares, a White House intern made a Star Wars reference!
