How long has Power Line been randomly throwing up satire without labeling it as such?

I have no idea, elizabetty, what the history of satire at Power Line might or might not be, but I assure you this IS satire. They have no obligation to label it. It's a "reader beware" situation :)Some people did not realize A Modest Proposal was satire.

I SOOOOO want to say this is satire, but after this last two elections, NOTHING would seems too outrageous to be true.

Just this morning, I clicked on Yahoo News’ link labeled “John McCain”, expecting to see photos of his stint at Sturgis. Instead, the first photo was of Barack Obama at a podium.

I’ll just wait for Power Line to clarify this story before I’ll label it as satire - because nowadays, satire and truth are perilously alike...
