Well... his website is called SEMI-NEWS/SEMI-SATIRE so that explains why some reality is thrown in.
It doesn't explain why it is so hard to distinguish satire from reality , other than that there is no longer anything we can make up that they aren't already doing.
As I have occasionally mentioned to Mr. Semmens, it is becoming increasing difficult to distinguish satire from reality. I am not an expert on this, but I have always held the opinion there must be a nut of absurdity buried somewhere that a discerning mind can ferret out, and unless there is something about baby-eating liberals, it is nearly impossible.
And even then.
