A local Texas writer who publishes a political and social satire website returned this week, and was overwhelmed by the volume of stupidity, bad taste, and general awfulness of the headlines.
“It’s baffling,” said the writer, “how anyone in politics, law enforcement and 24 hour news networks can behave this way and still keep their jobs. It really says something about our society when their kind of behavior becomes the norm.”
During the satirist’s brief hiatus from his humor blog, an armed man walked into the White House, the GOP held up the President’s actions against ISIS because he hadn’t asked them for help, more innocent people were shot by police, and news of a few people infected with the Ebola virus was blown out of proportion by various cable news networks, some even blaming Obama for the “outbreak”.
“But I will admit, the gay marriage thing was pretty cool,” he added.
“I would, however, like to say to those who created the mess in Iraq in the first place, i.e. the Bush administration – whose members are still not yet in prison but are actually still being interviewed regularly on news shows – ‘shut up shut up shut up!'”
The blog writer admits, however, that such idiocy and awfulness is great fodder for his website.
“But I would be perfectly happy not writing my blog in a world that didn’t have the problems we have now…”

Kudos to this satirist. When he puts it that way …we’d love it if he had other subjects to write about, too!
