‘This Is Ridiculous, Even For The New York Times’ (2020)

Château Lafite-Rothschild 1983

A steal at 1,100 bucks a bottle!

Oh, fap! as Major Hoople would say.

Back when we had INCOME EQUALITY, everyone in the world could afford fine wines, first-edition literary classics, luxury cars, and beachfront mansions with lots of servants, all of whom have their own BMWs and beachfront mansions, and in turn their own servants who in turn have their luxury cars and private jets– [pause to hyperventilate]

This Is Ridiculous, Even for the New York Times

Hey, New York Times! What are you doing to create Income Equality wherever the sun shines? And if you’ve been busy at it, how come we ain’t got it yet?

Exasperatingly stupid… and overpaid to boot!

‘I Am Entitled…’ (2015)

I remember one of my high school classmates complaining about my debating tactics: “Duigon ridiculized it!” But really there’s very little any satirist can do to make today’s politics more ridiculous than they are by nature. For instance:

I am Entitled…

If I am entitled to be called a woman when I’m not, then surely I’m also entitled to be called “Wilt Chamberlain” if that’s my particular delusion. Really, what’s the difference? How am I ridiculizing something that’s already ridiculous?

As a foundation of civilization, the preposterous looks pretty weak to me.

Elephants Who Are Not Elephants!

Big Bad Wolf loves Elephant - Drawception

We are told by Surpassingly Smart People that:

a) “Some men have vaginas, and can get pregnant.”

and b) “Some women have penises.”

And add to these (drum roll, please–and make it loud!) c) “Some elephants are hamsters.”

Hamsters with trunks, to be more precise. And tusks. And big floppy ears. Elephants are these really big hamsters with trunks. Hamsters who are not quite there yet are “transitioning into elephants.” The term “trans elephants” is not as respectful as it ought to be, but a few more Democrat judges will put a stop to that. The proper term is “Elephants-Plus!” Make sure to add the exclamation point.
