		<description>I agree, not all jokes are funny.  I read the above quote the same day I came across this passage in Jim Caple&#039;s article &quot;The rainy relationship beween owners and fans in Seattle&quot; on ESPN&#039;s Page 2:

During his 1968 campaign for president, Robert Kennedy criticized the gross national product as a poor barometer of the nation&#039;s health because GNP counts &quot;cigarette advertising and ambulances to clear our highways of carnage … special locks for our doors and the jails for those who break them … napalm and the cost of a nuclear warhead … and the television programs which glorify violence to sell toys to our children.&quot; What GNP does not measure, he said, is &quot;the health of our children, the quality of our education or the joy of their play,&quot; nor &quot;the beauty of our poetry [nor] the strength of our marriages … [nor] our wit and our courage.&quot; The GNP, he said, &quot;measures everything, in short, except that which makes life worthwhile. And it can tell us everything about America except why we are proud that we are Americans.&quot;

Who does that remind you of out of the President, Rep Candidate, and Dem Candidate?  Certainly not the lame duck.
