I love it! He takes a single line, removes it from the context of the accompanying 2000 word post, and uses as the basis for a satire that rivals the Onion! And it's so chock-full of details, you can tell he knows his stuff! I haven't read anything this funny since P. Laswell's last breathless plea for PayPal donations! Kudos for to Prof. Kramer for being able to whip that out in the short nine months since the Cole Post!
(...not agreeing with Cole, just trying to play.)

Posted by: Michael J. Totten at May 3, 2007 11:31 AMYou gotta give it to Cole though, that was an asinine statement to make in any context. I love conspiracy theory deconstructionist humor!
On the other hand Naha, your satire is completely humorless. Next time don't play, you're a bore.
