If Sloth was joking, I apologize. However, a /s would have made his "joking" clearer. What about it, Sloth?

What, is there a rumor going around that Romney actually is gay? Otherwise, I don't see how my comment could be regarded as anything other than an obvious joke.

As for close-sarcasm tags, I rarely use them, as I feel no obligation to hand-hold those who suffer from an irony deficiency.

If you see a post start with "In other news..." be prepared that it is most likely a joke.
