I'm Offended that you are Offended: An Offensive Article

So I was reading posts on Facebook, because it is a Friday evening and I had a long week. I'm a teacher and my students are high energy. In addition my apartment runs out of heat and water about twice a week. This isn't the slums, the whole town is like this. Anyways, I stumbled on a Republican rant. You really must check it out! I am not American. I don't even care if someone is Republican or Democrat. Some people really go off the deep end of the political spectrum (on either side) though! Canadian politics usually pale in comparison to the sheer nuttiness of American politics. (Except lately, because our current PM is the type of buffoon you'd expect to see in the first round of a "Got Talent" show. You know the ones... they always think they're amazing and then the judges send them off the stage in a walk of shame.)

Anyways, this is the most hilarious thing I have ever read. I can only assume Nagikistan was actually supposed to be Tajikistan! I can't even bother to point out the other flaws in this post because I am laughing too hard. The real icing on the cake is the posting policy for comments on this page! Did you read it? "We have no tolerance for comments containing violence, racism, vulgarity, profanity, all caps, or discourteous behavior. Thank you for partnering with us to maintain a courteous and useful public environment where we can engage in reasonable discourse." How many of these rules did Mr. Wurzelbacher break when writing this article which I can only assume to be comedy? If he can't follow proper posting policy how can anyone else be expected to?!
