He posted parody-lyrics to popular songs, too. Did you think they were the original lyrics? Have you ever read the Onion? Do you think they're reporting the real news?

That's what parody is. You take one part of something already in existence, add a good-sized dollop of silliness, and you have a hot cup of parody. Some is more delicious than others, but it always requires a sense of humor to both produce it and appreciate it. Registered, PJComix and others have used the same recipe for years. (Although I admit, Al Gore might not have thought "Sore-Loserman" was as hilarious as we did....)

I'm betting that the only people who didn't see Fresno's parody for what it was were the people who really, really wanted him gone. Now he is.

I'm not sure were Registered, et al have gone, but I have seen Lazamataz post at FreeSpeech.com. I don't think the posters there are AFers; actually, I think they mostly debate with DUers. So many factions, so little time...

You would be wrong in your assumption: "I'm betting that the only people who didn't see Fresno's parody for what it was were the people who really, really wanted him gone. Now he is."

I don't know Fresno from adam.......sorry. So that horse 'don't run'.

And of course I know what parody is...and what the The Onion is. And I was SIMPLY stating that I thought his post was real. That does NOT indicate that I don't have a sense of humor....or a secret glee that he is gone. Nothing could be further from the truth.

No ulterior motives. No conspiracy. Just a statement of my opinion that *I* thought the statement was real.

No need to read more into MY comment than the actual words written. Ok?
