@HeerJeet and in your opinion comedy now is defined against what? -
@heathr Good question. Not sure if I have quick answer but I think best comedy today is more political than 1950s stuff. - Show replies

@tribalidentity@JamesWolcott I'll read JW's piece after I write my own, because otherwise I'll be intimidated by him doing a perfect job.

7. Rivers's audacious meanness was surely a reaction to certain "good girl" ideals of feminine behavior.
