WASHINGTON, DC—Things have been a little tense lately in the home of journalist Todd Norbert. Normally, Norbert, a reporter for the New York Times, would be attending White House briefings or other major press conferences, looking for any excuse to accuse public figures of racism. Unfortunately, ever since being quarantined due to COVID-19 concerns, the news writer has been unable to leave his home to vilify politicians for using terms like “Chinese coronavirus”.
Undaunted, he has been forced to innovate and adapt, scouring his own household for signs of hate and prejudice.
When his seven-year-old daughter asked if he wanted to play a game of Chinese checkers, he heroically slapped the game board out of her hands and scolded her: “Mentioning the point of origin is racist! Just call it ‘weird checkers’ or ‘the version of checkers that is nothing like regular checkers’!”
Later that same evening, his wife announced, “Look, honey! I had Mexican food delivered!”
“Wow, Kathleen,” Norbert said, standing up and waving a finger in her face, “just… wow. Don’t call it ‘Mexican’ food! Mentioning Mexico is irrelevant and damaging to marginalized Latinx culture! Call it by its scientific name: ‘Tacos’!”
Norbert didn’t end up getting any tacos that night, and at publishing time was sleeping on an Ottoman, which he calls a "small foot couch."

This is, by far, the best BB analysis.
Funny. Babylon Bee has become more rational than a lot of FReeRepublic lately.
LOL -- although, it's not far off reality.
So the Bee has begun reporting real news, hmm?
“small foot couch”
LMAO
Not big on satire stories, but this one’s funny.
I was thinking about ordering some Song Dynasty food yesterday, but they were out of Ants climbing trees, so I just went to the Chik-fil-A drive through.
Siamese twins worried they might be arrested for violating ‘social distancing’ laws
LOL - that one’s a keeper. BB is more spot on than 99% of MSM articles.
The guys are Babylon Bee must be a blast to be around. Funny guys. Seem to have political instincts too.
Thanks for that punch line, BB! Had to wait till noon to get a LOL today.
I was thinking he probably did get tacos that night - rammed up his a**!
