Thank you for the e-mail link, my friend. Just sent the following note to the "reporter."

Dear Mr. Roddy,

I just read your article, and an extended discussion of it. As a member of the press myself, I am always amused when someone totally misses the point. You did that even though you STATED the point in your article.

You noted that "no one noticed" when the Communists for Kerry "slipped into" the demonstration. Helloooo. THAT's the point. It's a satire. It's a joke, son.

And you DO know that the Communist Party still exists in the USA. They may be irrelevant, but they are still earnest. You might want to visit their official website. They offer "Ten Reasons not to vote for Bush." I think that is the equivalent of an endorsement of Kerry.

I went to school with Kerry. He was an arrogant, humorless, social-climbing twit at Yale. He hasn't changed much since -- a few more wrinkles, a few more dollars, that's about it. Such people, and their supporters, are best attacked with humor, as Mark Twain correctly observed.

Do you have a sense of humor? If you, put it in gear, and revisit your subject. You might write a follow-up story that is both more accurate and more amusing. Just a thought.
