Reply #104: I like it [View All]

Self-deprecating humor is the best kind. I don't even care if it's not, in fact, self-deprecating...those stereotypes are out there and an article of faith for the morons of this country, who've now got what they wanted all along, so what difference does it really make? We're right -- uh, correct -- but our knowing that and the rest of the world (aka civilized nations) knowing that doesn't magically remove the Bush junta from power.

It's just a stupid article, a satirical piece that's not the best but close enough to at least Onion standards. And, I daresay, the stereotypes within are as accurate as those that we see posted here regarding right-wingers...with the exception of ignorance and evil, of course, because those are the only two human traits that explain a Bush vote (to my mind, every single person who cast a vote for Bush was blinded either by ignorance to some degree or hate of some flavor). If freeper types want to laugh at it, fine: we can't control what they find funny. Hell, they're liable to find blown-up Iraqis funny.

And if it's a double-double-double turnabout with a twist and a pike, shaken and not stirred, wherein the humor is actually in lampooning these stereotypes and ther people who make and believe in them, well, so much the better. Once again, we liberal élitists (hey, the stats bear out that we're more likely to deserve élite status, intellectually, so why not celebrate that?) are right and it's a truth that only we seem to be able to see.

I don't like brie and I don't drink wine.

Also don't drink beer, and don't watch Nascar.

I am an élite unto myself. :P

F*** off, peasants...






I'm also very sleep-deprived, but have the distinct feeling that I missed getting my point across (pretty sure I had one, too) in all that mess above...
