    Does anyone remember that episode of Star Trek: TOS where some evil
    incorporeal space being draws energy from the Enterprise's crew
    members by creating conflicts among them? They defeat the being when
    Kirk figures out that they should all stop fighting and start laughing
    at the thing. That caused it to lose energy and go away. We are all
    the Enterprise here.

    We can save our Republic by having fun at his expense. Let's enjoy
    ourselves.

    That episode of Star Trek was called "Day of the Dove".

    In the early 1930's the US lead the anti-nazi campaign by getting Charlie Chaplin to send up Hitler; I not sure how much that helped delay a war
    in Europe.

    Bah, and indeed Humbug.

    "According to The Tramp and the Dictator, Chaplin arranged to send the
    film to Hitler, and an eyewitness confirmed he saw it. Hitler's
    architect and friend Albert Speer denied that the leader had ever seen
    it. Hitler's response to the film is not recorded, but another account
    tells that he viewed the film twice"

    US's "ballgame" is now in SCOTUS's hands. The Colorada court
    established the Orangutan was the leader of the pack.
