It is becoming harder and harder to tease out satire from reality

It is becoming harder and harder to tease out satire from reality. Take my recent GD post which was an Andy Borowitz article on picking Carly Fiorina as a running mate. The only satire was that Carly Fiorina would help raise Ted on a rising sea of popularity, given how popular (not!) she was with Lucent and HP.

Andy had to scrimp for that satire. SCRIMP! It's not like before when it was easy pickings. Now anything from a Trump comment on women's work to something racist out of Ted's. It's all such easy pickin's it's sad. People like Andy Borowitz have to work hard, HARD I tell you to find the true satire within. God help us all.

Now if Trump chooses Sarah Palin or Ann Coulter, I might truly kill myself, or at least move to Canada where it can be done for free.
