Humor in Events

Well, it's the weekend. It's a time to sit back in the easy chair with some light reading and emit a series of chuckles, punctuated by the occasional guffaw.

Toward that end, I wrote a spoof translation of the mysterious and portentous Ahmadinejad letter, and it is running in today's Human Events.

I was thinking of accompanying it with a cartoon, but I was too lazy to do any sketching, so I had a Danish instead.

Incidentally, my sources tell me that the Weekly Standard will run a spoof of their own in the Parody section of next week's issue. It will be interesting to see whose is funnier. Perhaps we should commission a poll.

Yours is funnier, hands down.

There isn't any way of seeing theirs yet, is there? I'm a subscriber, but I don't think the next issue becomes available on their website until Saturday.

Am I wrong?

Tom Van Dyke said...

Don't need to see it.

I just read theirs and, although it would be a violation of humility to comment about my own work, no one can fault me for complimenting Tom.

So let me say: "Tom, you were so right!"
