One might claim that oftentimes, hilariousness and truth are to be found on different ends of the same spectrum. It might therefor not be the easiest task to write something that is both hilarious and true.
Fortunately, in the last decade or so there was a drastic change in the way American politics work, hence enabling people like David Javerbaum at the New York Times to publish articles like “A Quantum Theory of Mitt Romney“.
“Probability. Mitt Romney’s political viewpoints can be expressed only in terms of likelihood, not certainty. While some views are obviously far less likely than others, no view can be thought of as absolutely impossible. Thus, for instance, there is at any given moment a nonzero chance that Mitt Romney supports child slavery.”

“Entanglement. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a proton, neutron or Mormon: the act of observing cannot be separated from the outcome of the observation. By asking Mitt Romney how he feels about an issue, you unavoidably affect how he feels about it. More precisely, Mitt Romney will feel every possible way about an issue until the moment he is asked about it, at which point the many feelings decohere into the single answer most likely to please the asker.”
So Good.
