Judging by the comments I believe that many readers do not get the satire! I was laughing at it until I saw the serious comments.......

A whole pile of BS in that post. The best way to lose our

party is to move to the center. Centrism is just another way of saying. we give into everything Republian obsturctionists want. I don't know anyone who lies awake worrying about the deficit. I lie awake worrying about a Republicann party moving dangerously closer to fascism. And I long to live in a ountry that is accepting of progressive policies and progressives This country aint it.

This is hysterically funny and a new classic! Thank you!

If we could get money out of politics, and term limits in, that would sure help! Maybe then, politicians would feel more inclined to do what's best for the vast majority of the country, rather than for themselves.

Sorry I missed the sarcasm the first time around, I was tired and hadn't had my coffee yet. Lol, when the sarcasm seems plausible, or likely, we live in dark times.

Any comments on the Squad voting against Infrastructure?

I think every last one of them should be primaried out of office and replaced by people who actually care about the working class instead of woke performism ("birthing persons" anyone?)

The sarcasm i s getting a little too deep with this article. Dont forget Repubs want to control their own bodies (no vaccine) but yet dont want pregnant women to control theirs.

Satire is what satire does. Think the squad knew the Bill would pass without their votes, so decided to keep their image intact by opposing it. They are not dumb for sure… the Herb column? Bring it back when we need to start taking ourselves seriously and require a gut check moment.

I do not know how you feel about this, Mr. Shankman, but apparently you were a guy in your last earthly incarnation too. Born somewhere within Babar's Old Kingdom in approximately 950, your profession appears to have been a usurer and moneylender, so the cards suggest.

Reputedly, back then, you had a somewhat Bohemian personality - mysterious, capable of understanding ancient texts. It was written that you possessed magical abilities and could even be a servant of dark forces. Your unsolved problem - to learn to love and to trust our Universe.

Better luck this time 'round!

Thank You Michael, for punting the Pundit Herb Shankman with satire!

I gagged on his idea of going back into Afghanistan to get the suburban housewife vote.

On a serious note, though, it boggles my mind why somebody--Biden, Klobuchar, Fetterman, or even AOC, who did a lot of stuff to help kids in NY during the Zoom times--didn't come out this week with a better/real version of whatever garbage "Parent's Bill of Rights" that McCarthy did. There's no reason Democrats--who fundamentally should bill ourselves as the party of rights (the right to vote, the right not to go broke from healthcare, the right to be able to drink your water without dying, the right to have a living wage, the right to be Black and walk down the street without being killed or arrested, the right to practice your religion (and not have to practice your neighbors))--couldn't have come up with a better narrative than the Republicans. But aside from a few cases, we just don't seem to have leadership that can make a message. (I think it may be a mistake that there was so much pride in the social movements of 2020 and earlier not really having centralized leadership.)

2 hours since I first read this, Mike, and I'm still laughing out loud.

Thanks for the BBB coupons especially!

We share the same funny bone, I think.
