I just got a chuckle about your comment about reading the onion…
I say/write facetious things all the time and even my own mother hasn’t clue. I have to basically spell it out when I am just being satirical, which then of course makes it hard to do, because you then worry about being funny and non offensive. I don’t even come up with over the top things like the KKK example and yet people at church complain about my sense of humor. Basically they complain that I have none- whereas my DH thinks I am drop dead hilarious. It seems everyone loves really nutty goofy nonsense and that makes it difficult for those who have a more say deadpan- satirical nature. I tend to appreciate satire quite a bit- not just because it’s funny, but because of the dual nature of it, in which you wonder if “they’re for real- or just pulling your leg.” Just an observation on satire-

Ugh! This is the kinda help we DON’T need. I love satire as much as the next person, but we are at such a crucial period in our country. Hopefully we can take some responsibility and support our candidate instead of this mess. And yes, I am an Obama fan. Admittedly, I wouldn’t be as annoyed if they did this with McCain. Makes all the difference when it’s your cause they’re putting the hurt on instead of the other “side.”
