No, This Time Satire Is Really Dead

This blog's November declaration of the final demise of Satire may have been premature. For, if Satire were dead before the FBI's almanac warning, said warning couldn't, logically, have driven the final nail into the coffin.

For those that missed it, on Christmas Eve, the FBI warned "police nationwide to be alert for people carrying almanacs, cautioning that the popular reference books covering everything from abbreviations to weather trends could be used for terrorist planning."

As "terrorism expert" David Heyman helpfully explains: "It helps make sure one more bad guy doesn't get away from a traffic stop, maybe gives police a little bit more reason to follow up on this.'' Q.E.D. (and R.I.P.!).
