I tried to take this column seriously the first two or three times out. That was a mistake. It is obviously (bad) satire. Witness the first paragraph this week:
Last week's column provoked a robust debate, and I thought a number of you made some interesting comments. I wish I could answer them all, but there is only so much bandwidth available, you know?
What, is the Wingnut on dialup? Sorry, but the whole point of this satire seems to be nothing more than the generation of clicks. Good satire should expose with wit, not parrot with dimwit. From now on, I take a pass. In a medium where clicks are what counts, my advice to other readers that might hope for better is to also take a pass.
