What kind of an odd ball question is this??? This author hasn't got anything better to do that to ask stupid questions???

Is it ok to make fun of this author???? Well if he wants to make fun of my Pope then yes, I can make fun of him....

I don't think its kind to make fun of anyone in a higher office: Pope; President; Prime Minister; Governor; Senator; etc. Just imagine what you would feel like if it were you they were making fun of.....

You'll have to forgive me, but the pax (PACS) thing is the perfect vehicle for satire.

What I really don't understand is why you think people in lower offices are fine to satirize, but not those in higher offices. Why would one's station in life be a determinate in whether one can be satirized?

Hell, GW pokes fun at himself, and he is arguably the most powerful man on the planet. It doesn't seem to get under his skin.

It should be mandatory to make fun of anyone in higher office. They know what they are signing up for. If we have to show nothing but respect and can't make fun of them, they might just begin to behave like the megalomaniacs they are deep down inside, because, you see, only a megalomaniac would WANT to run for higher office.

They aren't like you and me. It is impossible to hurt a megalomaniac's feelings so you can quit feeling sorry for them.
