I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him

(Humor) allegedly

[Chaguito]

As opuses go, a 6/10.

[PGR88]

Is that Alton Brown in the photo?

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Now how will be afford his typewriter ribbons?

[Kaslin]

You idiot, Jenna Bush Hagar isn’t married to someone named Bob Doppleneck (as in Double Neck. That alone should be a clue that is humor. Obviously you don’t get it which doesn’t surprise me one bit.

[Kaslin]

Who’s Alton Brown?

[Lurkinanloomin]

It just isn’t funny.

[PGR88]

[Kaslin]

You’re just not getting it obviously, because you’re a sourpuss
!

Chill, bro. The word "allegedly" in his comment was humor itself, as in he saw how the parody reflected real life. It obviously went over your head; otherwise, you wouldn't have been so quick to attack.

It’s a sad commentary on society that it’s difficult to identify the true things and the sarcastic things in this essay.

[MHT]

Jenna Bush Hager isn’t his wife. Meghan McCain is.

I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe; attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark off the Tannhauser Gate.

I had no idea what that was referring to (until I searched "Tannhauser Gate").

[SuperLuminal]

Humor or not, he seriously understates what a decrepit rag the Federalist has become...

[Bayard]

I’m going to believe that this is humor until unless somebody has a better clue.

Agreed on the judgment of the times. Everything has to be heavily scrutinized from the internet these days.

James Lileks?

"Is that Alton Brown in the photo?"

It does kinda look like a young Athens Alton, circa when he was director of photography for the video for REM's "The One I Love".

[NetAddicted]

Peruse later.
