Okay...so we need an /s to indicate sarcasm for the slower among us; now we need a /p so people like me know a statement is provocative if I can’t figure it out on my own...like this instance. All these new fangaled acronyms and text abbreviations and such drive me nuts. :-)
Don’t worry. The /s statement evolved from the HTML end tag, “</sarcasm>.” It has been simplified to “/s.” HTML can do some neat things when you post on line. I just know the bare essentials. What bothers me are the acronyms like AFAICT (as far as I can tell). I think they work to confuse NSA Big Brother.
I didn’t choose to use Cantor’s photo as sarcasm. He was a strong advocate for Israel while he was a U.S. Representative. We need more like him in Congress (both houses). However, Cantor failed by going the route of the pro-amnesty Republican establishment.
