Why would Alex Jones or the Onion or anybody want to print something that couldn't even make it out of the GD corral? It's so seldom I ever write OP's. If it gets enough recs, I'll pass it along to the Onion to see if they want it. I'm too afraid of what Jones, Hannity, and the rest might really do to me IF they ever found out it was only my poor effort at satire.

I sneaked on Glenn Beck's website one time and wrote a short PRO-Obama piece, and somehow their filters let it lay for maybe a half hour. When it was discovered, he started sending me furious emails which I told him I was saving for the Feds and that I was about to lawyer up on him.
