She’s leaving it for the folks at World O’ Crapo.

Jillian is not Brad or Gavin or whatever anyone’s real name is. She should have her own voice, tough shit if you don’t get it first go ’round. And besides she wasn’t satirizing the NYT anyway. If you’re going to blockquote somebody, it could be because they are completely ridiculous on their own. Who could change one word of a Mark Noonan post and make it funnier? On the other hand if you’re going to point out the obvious fact that not nearly enough homoerotic references have been made about Larry Craig, a phony news article seems perfect. Run with it Jillian. In related news, Craig denies he will run for reelection because he has been polling behind his democractic challenger.

FUCK!11!!!

Mr. Crapo, a friend and ally on state issues, said he strongly supported Mr. Craig. “I look forward to working with him in the Senate as he resolves his legal battles,” said Mr. Crapo.

No love for Mr. Crapo, Jillian??

In future, I will keep in mind that Jillian and Sadly, No!, which I used to enjoy, can no longer be trusted.

If you think the New York Times is trustworthy, then you have more problems with gullibility than merely falling for a clearly satirical blog post.

If you find this snark so confusing, let me inform you that Andrew Wyeth didn’t paint a companion piece to “Christina’s World” called “Christina’s Overturned Weber Grill”, Rick Moran didn’t really rob a convenience store, and Pam Oshry was not the villain on an episode of Monk.

Now please take your concern-trolling where such things are institutionally appreciated, like the Democratic Leadership Council.

Mr. Craig had his defenders among the Republicans, including Senators Michael Crapo

Not all that OT, the Log Cabin Republicans are going to be running an attack ad on Mitt Romney by highlighting his past support for liberal social positions. The GOP primaries are going to be fucking hilarious.

And in case you hadn’t heard, even funnier is the the fact that James Dobson and friends are considering backing a third party candidate. If I lived someplace like FL or OH I’d go door to door collecting signatures to help their candidate get on the ballot.

Hardly an American icon, y’know. I mean, Indochina and South Asia? Like, Malaysia and the various ‘stans? ZOMG THE MUSLIM HORDES!

Maybe they should just go with Franklin’s idea of the turkey.

And whether you can see it or not, there’s a difference between “quoting an article”–which the folks on this site do often, always using block quotes or italics with a direct attribution like “The NYT times”– and “rewriting an article as satire.” The latter is fairly clearly indicated here by the lack of quoting formats and attributions, the dateline at the top, and the non-journalistic writing style: “stern, unforgiving judge”? “sounded like gasps of desperation”? Unless you went to the Soft Porn School for Journamalism, those really stand out.

And then, just in case you miss those clues, there’s a corker at the end:
…okay, I’m done. Consider this your home for having some fun with Larry “I’m not Gay; I’m a Hypocrite” Craig.

See, that “I’m done” without any change in format indicates that “I” have been writing so far. Since “I” doesn’t usually write for the NYT, that kind of clinches the “satire” conculsion.

Jillian, I thought it was great. And I still trust you.

Lew Conduct in mall restrooms

The report said DiFatta slid his foot into the deputy’s stall and tapped the deputy’s foot. In the report, Conley noted that such activity is common among men to indicate a willingness to participate in sex.

The detective asked DiFatta, “What do you want?” according to the report, and he replied, “I want to play with you.”

Is he a Republican?

Seriously, what must it be like for people with such delicate sensibilities to be outraged to the point of spoiling their knickers over silly happenings – multiple times per day? Do they have to keep a 6 pack of Haynes Boxers at work? Are diapers more cost-efficient?
