Perfect, Ger.
I think they are jealous that we have a more in depth version of the RWDB genre. As one so revealingly put it:
”OK,… - the most important thing to remember is to keep it brief…’
In military terms, I can only think that the differences between us leads to an analogy of them as Grunts compared to us as the Air Force. Why do they call them Grunts? Why do they have rules such as ”never trust a Grunt”
For these and other rhetorical questions for which all the answers are self evident: stay tuned.
“Satire isn‚Äôt easy”
I’m convinced.
You’ve been told.
And Tim Blair is funny.
Take a look:

To be fair, it’s not a complete turkey. There’s plenty of short, sharp and snappy one liners, and the stuffing is mainly imported from Amerikkka (geddit?). Just a shame though the only points to be found there are at the top of the heads of all the leftoid moonbats commenting on the threads.
Basically though, it’s pretty harmless. Not like that fat, rich, successful and influential traitor Michael Moore.
Thank God though they can’t get their act together to create some group portal to supplant the MSM and maximise ad revenue operation. Now that would be one ugly site.
Why has EP been banned? Is LP is attempting to dress up this despotic action into some kind of Deakin Uni-like satire of dissent-crushing? I demand that EP be immediately re-instated or…or I will go on a short comment strike.
Well, that fell kind of flat. Parody has to be a amusing, guys, and not come across as pompous and a little twee. The tone was off. See Iowahawk, he has a real knack for it.
That said, it really was a very good idea. A bit more good humour from everyone would be most welcome.

”Parody has to be a amusing”
Never ocurred to you that we thought it was a hilarious and necessary to amuse the comrades before it amused you, MarkL?
Shorter MarkL humour(1): ”OK you ‘orrible little lot, today we will be having a change of underwear………………[”Raaay”]………………. A Block will swap with B block and B block…”
(2)”Laughing by the numbers….wait for it!—- Ha (haha); Ha (haha)……. ha”
So, Petey, to be funny to you, your humour has to be of the circle jerk variety?
Takes all kinds, I suppose.

MarkL, I thought all the jerks were humourless brass adorned buttonheads gathered in a circle and pontificating like poltroons on such things as summary executions. Was I wrong?
Steve,
If Jack chooses to protest EP’s absence by restricting himself to short comments, I for one am prepared to endorse his campaign as a legitimate form of protest. Of course I wouldn’t go so far as to support his demands or anything.
armaniac,
Pity the moustache broke off Tim’s Groucho Marx glasses - otherwise he wouldn’t merely be funny, he’d be downright hilarious.
Now did Jack mean a *short* comment strike or did he mean a *short comment* strike?
See the difference?
If the former, is that a threat or a promise?
EP, hasn’t been banned. EP has experienced a keyboard-internet incident, due to repeating what is now taken as read, over and over and over. The incident was automatically activated because there are in fact other subjects and places. If EP ever has anything new or different to say, or changes his drugs, for my part, I’d be happy to hear from him. For now, I suggest we think of EP, not as banned, but assumed. Rest his soul.
Geoff:
It was funny and a good enough parody to make people laugh.There is nothing wrong in having a laugh at your own side.
The only problem I see with the web is that it has probably made all of us a little too stuck in our views with very little left for humour.
For instance I read Blair and I could read him and find him funny even if I disagreed with him. I forget now, but there is a lefty US site which is hilarious in its take off of the right.
Close to 50% of the Aussie public are tax sucking, greedy, moralizing leftists. Hell, I go to bed with one each night for the last 20 odd years. We still have to live with them.
The ”keyboard-internet incident” that cs accurately describes can also be explained by analogy in computer terminology as an ”unresolved kernel trap” ie it is an incident (similiar to the reaction to time warps in an otherwise predictable space/time continuum) which results in a shut down and expected rework of the central processing unit (the EP/CPU), before even contemplating a re-boot.
