The thousands of body-bags being returned every day, landing at Dover AFB in the dead of night, the mass graves of Iraqi civilians killed by indiscriminate American bombing, and the American oil tankers lined up at the terminal off the coast at Umm Qasr to steal Iraqi oil, continue to go unreporte Dude, you gotta remember the </sarcasm off> at the end of your post...

Dude, you gotta remember the </sarcasm off> at the end of your post...There was a time on FR when this wasn't even necessary. If you have ever read some of Jimrobs's posts you would get a sense of the type of "normal" discourse on FR.
Personally I hate the "Barf" comments and the < /sarcasm off> comments. They are not necessary and reduntant on a conservative site.

The whole purpose of sarcasm is to leave the newbe reader uncertain what position you're taking. The tag would give away the inside joke.
I would suggest people start being double-sarcastic if they want to be cool.
Example:
Bush is great </sarcasm off>
