Satire: the use of irony, sarcasm, ridicule, or the like, in exposing, denouncing, or deriding vice, folly, etc.
Real-life circumstances often align themselves to provide great jokes. If you want to rib the republicans, Dick Cheney shooting his friend while hunting comes to mind...the possibilities are endless.

Looking Ahead
Yes, this may be a random thought, but it will provide a foundation for future discussions.

Predicting the future does not require a PhD, winning an election, or being certified. It only requires a little honest effort combined with some common sense.

Justice
Question of the month:
Would you rather be the recipient of "social justice" or "equal justice"?
Some of this might hinge on how you define Justice, but to me the answer is clear. We can't go wrong if everyone is treated equally, yet the progressive left in this country is more concerned about upholding their version of justice; taking from those who disagree and giving to those who do.
Think about it.
