Every once in a while when I need some comic relief, I go back and read the Vice President’s statement posted on Whitehouse.org:

In closing, please keep in mind that I’m speaking as the mastermind of a legislative agenda predicated almost exclusively on Social Darwinism when I confess that I experience a slight, non-pacemaker-induced pang of chestal discomfort each time so-called American citizens – like these WHITEHOUSE.ORG terrorists – err on the side of publishing ideologies that doom them to lifetimes of FBI monitoring, politically-motivated income tax audits, and – in special circumstances – mysterious newfound predilections to bathing fully clothed with a whole Radio Shack’s worth of plugged-in appliances. Do I have to remind anyone what happened to that Enron would-be snitch? No, I didn’t think so.

That case is history now, I believe, but taxpayer legal staff are at it again and apparently sending nasty memos to the Onion about the use of Presidential imagery such as their official seal. Emergent Chaos reports:

Silly Onion. Everyone knows the President reads and endorses Emergent Chaos, not the Onion. Who’d read anything with such a silly name?

From The New York Times, “Protecting the Presidential Seal. No Joke.”

PS: Dear Mr. Dixon, I’d like an exception for satirical use, but couldn’t find a form on your web site.
