The key to effective satire, for me, is taking an existing trend and going way too far with it. This is a good example: Napolitano should be instructing TSA what to do different, but the trend was that non-TSA (the Dane) did what the TSA and Air Marshalls should have.

So, you went too far with it. You had her instructing civilians to interrogate one another. That's good. I might have even gone farther with this: "One of the more controversial guidelines is for all current passengers to frisk one another. Said Ms. Napolitano: "Stick your hands down the pants of the person next to you! Your life may depend on it!" The motto of this new initiative is "Squeeze That Junk Until It Spurts!" Several civil rights groups have taken some issue with the initiative, one hinting it might look in to the matter further."

You see? Totally outrageous. Take something that exists and go WAY too far.

Almost, but not quite, completely satirical.

He's getting closer. PJ O'Rourke, he will never be. But he might be decent soon enough.

I'm just scared it's taking him so long. :O

Went to a nudist beach once .....I agree with you. Up is better.

Oh dear.

I much prefer that which, in a pair, gently sway in the sunshine.

Nothing that stands up.
