David Newquist, who runs the Northern Valley Beacon, has a well written piece of satire in this mornings Aberdeen American News. While I don't agree with many of the serious arguments suggested by the humor, its very funny. Consider this gem:
Some folks want an amendment against flag desecration. This amendment is going to meet some tough opposition from the flag lobby. They realize they could double the annual flag sales if more people would burn them. The industry is ready to market flags that are self-igniting and erupt into a display of fireworks that goes "woosh." It is not likely that anyone would put an amendment in the constitution that dampens the entrepreneurial spirit.
That's clever writing.
