Can comedy still be funny?—10:47 AM
This takes some clicking and reading – and believe me, I'm not about to touch the Kos controversy itself – but it's a funny analysis of how certain dopes don't get sarcasm.
Kos of Much Trouble [Wonkette]
I know my readers. (Except that King of the Cowards! You confound me!!) They'll be able to read that and see the intricate and richly layered ambrosia of irony and sarcasm. Even if they've never read Wonkette before.
Not so at Instapundit or A Small Victory, though!
Blog Catfight [Instapundit]
Pretty fun. Wonkette's posted her sum-up of the thing; the fact that she has to specifically explain how irony works is a sad comment on the state of the blog world, almost as sad as the reaction to Kos in the first place. Silly righties.

Wha? Who... where? Where am I? What time is it? Do I have a big bushy beard? Who's the President?
I'll keep checking back for the "Survivor" stuff, though, so don't worry.

Working on it now! See you at midnight!
(Don't forget, Andy was puzzled by the "ragu festival" reference. Everyone can't already know everything. But, we learn by reading.)
