Um, er, Julia? I don't think you should quit the day job just yet, sweetie....

As some of you know, our little friend La Julia is, among other things, a stand-up comedian. Today she posted on her blog this little "example" (reproduced below) of her sense of humor. Um, Julia? If you're wondering why you still haven't hit "The Big Time" yet, well, let me clue you in: It has nothing to do with "The Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy" (or Albanian Conspiracy, or Islamofascist Conspiracy....), OK?

Today marked the first of four days of face-to-face negotiations between a Serbian delegation and a Kosovo-Albanian delegation in New York, for a final one-sided attempt at compromise regarding Kosovo’s status. The meeting ended abruptly when the Albanian delegation opened fire on the Serbian delegation, killing everyone. The U.S. and EU condemned the resulting Serbian intransigence, pointing to the massacre as proof that independence for Kosovo is the only rational solution. President Bush announced that the slaughter of the Serbian delegation has made it necessary to once again bomb Serbia. On its way out, the Albanian delegation asked for Madeleine Albright to come in and clean up the place.

The international community hailed the meeting as a success.
