The problem is John Semmens posts “Satire” in a number of places.

It is more of an indictment of so many readers of his posts that they can’t read the “satire” tags.

Maybe those who are tripped up by his posts and miss the satire tags are the ones who should be cautioned.

I think the problem is the wannabe satirists.

If the trigger was the recent Holder to JPMorgan story, that wasn't a Semmens satire but Semmens is guilty by association when his next story pops up.

Maybe we need a Satirist Laureat designation, bestowed on those who have exceled at the fine art over their entire career. < /sarc >

AMEN! Semmens is a credit to this site. Good grief. Like there aren't more important things to whine about than some (exceedingly clever and well-written) satire.

Idunno, maybe they were all Floriduh voters in 2000.

/sarc for those who need it.

Sad. It is truly disappointing that there are some who will not get the satire no matter how diligent and effusive the tags are.
