    OK. I get the joke.

    I read the first installment of this column in the belief that it was meant to be taken seriously. The first was so bad that I figured there was nowhere to go but up. But now I get it. It's a joke. It's an unfunny joke (or more accurately, satire) but it's a joke none the less. 'Cause if it isn't a joke...well...I can't begin to ponder the implications of what it means if the editors and the writer mean for this "column" to be taken seriously as some form of exposition on conservative thought.
