Irony is lost on some ...

This is not a post on the recent American health care bill. Because I do not have the five hours it would require me to write it nor a week for dealing with discussion (I am still woefully behind with previous discussions!)

However, today has confirmed in my mind that I am reasonably and happily moderate. Because today I burst out laughing at both an International Socialist wearing Converse and smoking Dunhills, and at a Tea Party aficionado assuring me that they would rather die than let the government into their home -- over the internet.

In other news, Scrap the kitten is still doing well. And Mr Shuffles the Zombie Elephant now has a new official name -- Pathi Harn, Thai for miracle. Bless his wrinkly little brain-sucking heart.

I also have a new career plan. I am going to make a cape and find some shiny tights and become a Super Hero. My name will be The Reasoner and my Mission will be travelling the world slapping stupid people.

Actually, that sounds too much like hard work. I'm going back to writing and will try to fit in a bit of satire now and then. Far easier!

Your franchise could be the next global political movement! The Common Sense Party?

Or possibly a secret society; an underground network of cells, expanding unstoppably through interlinked friends-of-friends. Conspirators united by their exasperation, and willingness to apply The Cluestick wherever it proves to be needed. Only when the history of these decades is studies will the scale of its impact be know, and marvelled at...

I think I should just sew up the suit in your size and do some of the PR and history writing for you -- clearly you are a GENIUS.

I'm more logistics than lycra, really... you need someone sparkly with talking-to-media superpowers for the frontman job.

The manifesto, on the other hand, has your name all over it :)
