Karl Rove's War on Satire
I'm sorry, but I agree with Tom Leher. Satire died when Henry Kissinger was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

1. not if
you look at it like gore vidal suggested, as an example of the rich, sly and underappreciated vein of nordic humour.

2. Was there an article linked to this comment, markus?
If so, a link would be great. Otherwise, it would have probably been better to post this in General Discussion. :hi:

4. Doh! Thanks
Reminds me of the story about Rove buying up domain names that could be used satirically against Shrub. And The Boy's infamous "There are to be limits to freedom."

5. Animal Farm was not satirical...
It was allegorical.
