Satire and sarcasm. Should be noted in initial post so people don’t waste time reading it.

I'm not a mod, but I believe that "satire" should be noted in the article's title, perhaps in parentheses after the actual title. As you noted bk, that would help people in sorting out what they want to read and what they don't.

Satire is in the author line and in the topic line in capital letters. Did Swift write SATIRE across his work? Did Voltaire? This is not addressed at you personally, but I find it interesting that unless something is blatantly labeled people cannot discern what it is. It is telling that people accepted the story Jim removed from this site of Biden speaking inappropriately to a 13 year old girl. Certainly the Orwellian news speak has clouded our judgement, but a little practice will set us right and pull us free of the “Don’t be judgmental,” mantra of the left.
