An amusing interlude, via email:



Irony: [self-righteous vitriolic pompous ranting about various issues, beginning with tom delay and somehow ending up with hannah arendt]

Father of Irony: Settle down there, fellow traveler.

Irony: I don't need to set- hey! Fellow tra-HEY!

Father of Irony: Well that's what we called you people back in the 30's

Irony: I am not a dirty Commie.

Father of Irony: Are too. Are too too too.

Irony: Look, the only possible way in which I could be considered a Commie is that I believe in the redistribution of wealth. But I believe that it should all be redistributed to ME. So I don't think they'll ever be able to lay that particular label on me

Father of Irony: So you are, in fact, a megalomaniac?

Irony: ....have I ever denied that?

Father of Irony: Touche.

Irony: I win!
