1. Pat Robertson Says Giuliani Presidency Appears in Book of Revelation

Oh, wait a minute, I missed the opening line: "THE FOLLOWING IS SATIRE: (I think?)". It's just so damn hard to tell. The American presidential hopefuls really do have to cozy up to truly insane people that represent millions of other insane people. How can you distinguish between satirical insanity and real insanity? Alas, we are still fucked!

The one thing I will say for the so called 'Father' is that he said Annie Laurie Gaylor deserves just as much respect as him. This is something you would never have heard just a few years ago and certainly not twenty years ago. Perhaps we are slowly making headway -- this is a first baby step in the process of changing peoples minds. Suddenly now we deserve respect. Obviously that atheists are making a little noise hasn't hurt just as it didn't with gays and feminists.

mtrip, dlitt wasn't actually referring to my comment. He was referring to the last paragraph of the column. I was just being silly.

Ok dlitt, if you are responding to my post ;-), he's insulting grilled cheese sandwiches and by extension grilled cheese sandwich eaters -- think about it! Are you calling grilled cheese eaters credulous?
I think you better look in a mirror!

Wait a minute! Is he making fun of grilled cheese sandwiches? That's just offensive! I'm going to boycott this film as it is clearly an example of culinary hate speech!

I guess you must be American. This is not irony, it is satire. You really need to look up irony."

Well, in fact, it is both. Satire often uses irony, and as can be found in this article:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/weekend/story/0,3605,985375,00.html

The New Oxford English Dictionary says:

"Irony is a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often amusing as a result."

"...saying the opposite of what is true in order to underline the truth.... Swift, by contrast, uses irony for polemical purposes, conjuring grotesque images ironically (babies being eaten, mankind enslaved to the morally superior horse) in order to state his case (that the Irish were starving, that humanity was going to the dogs) ever more forcefully."

Also see H. W. Fowler, in Modern English Usage:

"Irony is a form of utterance that postulates a double audience, consisting of one party that hearing shall hear & shall not understand, & another party that, when more is meant than meets the ear, is aware both of that more & of the outsiders' incomprehension."
