No, I do not really think that "Bob Dylan should be locked up with Cat Stevens because he helped Hurricane Carter who was obviously guilty because he's black."
I didn't quite take the Onion literally when I reported thier headline "Kerry goes to Vietnam to avoid service in the Alabama National Guard."
I do not think war is "cool" or that Pres Bush is a hero and I watch things other than Fox News.
When I say its good that Private Ryan got censored because it will be harder to get poor kids to sign up for the war and that Michael Powell should silence Speilberg and Stern because they are Jews - do you think that maybe, just maybe it might be a satircal point?
Apparently not, since I got three emails accusing me of being anti semetic.
If you were not sure, I have an important fund you need to donate to - its called the "Seriously clueless and gullible people who dont understand sarcasm, parody or satire Fund" - please send $100 today, its a Federal law and you could get ill if you dont. ¶ 2:25 PM
