I feel like we put all the weight on the president, rather than distributing the weight to all of the elected officials.

I'm a lurker and a creep. Women don't like me because I sleep standing up, like a horse.

All motivation is defined by intention. If the intention is to hurt, divide, or belittle, it's wrong; if it's an attempt to cope with or make sense of tragedy, it's something different. If it's commenting on society's flaws, versus adding to society's flaws, I think the audience can tell.

Bill Cosby spoke out against The Simpsons and there was this kind of evangelical, right-wing sect that was against The Simpsons. Fox was a new network at the time, though, so they were going to take risks.

You can't really feel the direct change from one president to another versus people closer to you in local elections.

The Simpsons was pretty experimental at the time, but it attracted a lot of sitcom writers that felt confined by the limitations of live-action sitcoms in the '80s.

I think if the joke is in good taste - it's a good joke.
