New Sorry, that was unfair

New Fair enough, but...
unfairness doesn't much bug me anymore. I'm used to it. I just note it in passing and move on.

It scares me a bit when people don't appreciate irony, though. Maybe that's unfairness on my part, for which case I offer a conditional apology. But the people I've known in the flesh who didn't get irony sometimes turned out to be, well, dangerous. And the ones who got irony never turned out to be dangerous. And so, rightly or wrongly, I use it as a litmus test, until something better comes along.

(Yes, there's such a thing as bogus irony. But I'm not a pomo. And there's such a thing as facile irony. But I'm not a Subgenius.)
DUBYA WAS RIGHT about North Korea.

The nihilists and the liars have buried truth alive in a shallow grave.
