Jim Chapman's Boner of the Week
NEW FEATURE!!!
Jim Chapman pulled a real boner in this week's opinion piece in his electronic newsletter 'Jim Chapman, The Voice of London.'
In 'Coulter Causes Consternation,' Jim says this of the very unfunny unsubtle hate-mongering Ann Coulter - "She is an American satirist from that rich iconoclastic tradition, although many people confuse her with a serious political commentator. Oh she is serious enough about the issues she cares about, but her method of addressing them owes more to Mark Twain than Thomas Jefferson."
And he says this with a straight face. Yep, I'm sure Samuel Clemens would be really flattered at such a comparison.
If you can swallow that one, you may want to size up more of Jim's boners at www.thevoiceoflondon.ca

Like I am going to size up Jim's bone. Really Sonny, you go too far.
Hah! I just used satire as defined by Coulter! And Chapman!
Way to go, David. You've nailed the Coulter technique.
Apparently the best satire is when it's done with such a heavy hammer that people don't even realize that it is satire.
Can you imagine that? Coming up with such a great joke that you don't want people to think you are funny, but rather that you have just made a clever observation?
Limbaugh is a similarly insightful fellow whose comments are often misconstrued as 'wry.'
Daddy, you are soooooo right.
A varm sveater very goot in vinter; don't even touch it in summer!
