Jesse, I'm glad to see you, unlike Glenn Reynolds, have no trouble recognizing this piece as satire--rather heavy-handed satire, at that.

[Jesse Walker]

Heavy-handed, yes -- but still funny. I mean, I was against the war, but I still got a few good chuckles out of the piece.

[Frenk]

Yep, definitely funny.
