1. It should have been a bit of a clue that it came from 'dailysquib.co.uk'

A British satirical site that spoofs everything.

Here for example are their comments on the Eliot Spitzer scandal:

'A US politician has been linked to prostitution.

This comes with news that the Pope has been linked to Catholicism and that bears are linked to large steaming mounds of shit in the woods/

Eliot Spitzer, otherwise known as "client 9" must have rubbed someone up the wrong way in more ways than one. That's why they took out the tapes to show 'joe public.'

We're wondering in the Squib offices what the Governor did so wrong to be made a fool of in such a way?

Some other links of note: The sky is linked to the colour blue, the British Royals are linked to Germany and George W Bush is linked to the chimpanzee (twice removed).'


ETA: I loved your little verse on that thread!

2. Thanks!

I thought it must be satire, but it's getting harder and harder to tell these days. As Tom Lehrer once said: "When Henry Kissinger can win the Nobel Peace Prize, satire is totally beside the point..."

And it was more fun to just fire off a response than to click on the link, of course. Heh!

Glad you enjoyed the verse. That was written by Penn Jilette, for an episode of the Penn & Teller show "Bullshit."
