Petulance has made Semmens’ artful perspective unwelcome here.
Given all the other aggregated, stressful news crap, it’s ridiculous he’s been singled out. And I say this as a casual reader of his satire.
I recall a FReeper openly mocking him a while back... made no sense unless there was some personal vendetta.
Well, I oughta have a personal vendetta against him for all the times my blood pressure has taken a spike. I think running the gauntlet of his threads has helped me become more discriminating, though I can understand why it bothers some people.
Heh, one has to admit, attempts to satirize the current reality is an uphill battle.
