Do we now post Satire in hopes of catching someone off guard who didn't realize it was a joke? What's the point?

Pretty hard to “catch people off-guard” when it’s posted AS satire.

Apparently “main” post 2 got snookered.

With all the deadly serious (and legitimate) things to be concerned about with this president, do we really need to confuse people about what the reality is.

John’s satire has always dealt with plausible extremes. It is the Government which is crowding the line.

It is NOT posted as “satire.” It should be in the headline.

And I even like satire. But sorry, John, you’re no P.J. O’Rourke or Dave Barry. I figure it out by the third sentence, but then I feel like I want the last 20 seconds of my life back.
