I predict that this will also turn into reality, just as your 2010 piece where Pelosi describes unemployment benefits as “stimulus” for the economy came true this week.

Hyper inflation will put a rude end to the free stuff because there won’t be any stuff.

John
Trying to determine the ‘satire’ portion.
Way too close to reality.

Another brilliant piece that (sadly) is the reality we should expect very soon.

In related news, disability is now America's fastest growing career choice among persons aged 18-64. In 1960 less than 1% of these persons were receiving disability payments. Last year more than 5% were. Disability due to “mood disorders” was credited with “making substantial inroads into the workforce over the last 50 years.” “Given the plasticity of this designation we see no reason why the vast majority of the population shouldn't qualify for benefits for this cause over the next few decades,” boasted Health and Human Service Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. “We are within sight of creating a society where the majority can be relieved of the burdens of toil.”

John, where's the GD satire?!?

“Semi-News/Semi-Satire...”

For now, at least...

House Speaker, Representative John Boehner (R-Ohio) undertook moves meant to consolidate his authority this past week. First he executed a purge of House committee members he deemed “not team players.” Later he blocked all others from participating in the negotiations with President Obama on the so-called “fiscal cliff.” … Boehner discounted suggestions that he might be replaced as Speaker as “rumblings of a disorganized and impotent gang of malcontents. Even in the unlikely event that they looked like they might succeed in their quest to remove me they still won't get what they want. If forced to do so, I and my loyal lieutenants would always have the option of caucusing with the Democrats. Do those who oppose me really want to bring back Pelosi as Speaker?”

In related news, President Obama insisted that “raising taxes on the rich is my number one priority” and vowed to “destroy this country if that's what it takes to achieve a greater equality among the mass of common people.”

Satire to follow?

Excellent/scary article as always, John, and may I suggest that the Boehner/Obama piece is a strong candidate for "best of"?
