Ian Frazier on Iraq
Remember Dad’s entry on Iraq and the missing Weapons of Mass Destruction? I sure do. Today I read an article/humor piece by Ian Frazier sort of on that same subject. It’s called We Report, You Decide. I laughed out loud at parts (though it kind of peters out at the end). While you’re at it, you should also read his piece All-consuming Patriotism, on a similar note (but the right mixture of humorous/serious, and with a punch). A quick search on the Mother Jones site will get you more if his articles if you’re interested.

Dad • 07/29/03 • 10:05 AM:Speaking of WMD, check out this site and read carefully.
Patrick • 07/29/03 • 10:34 AM:Very funny indeed. But 1. It should have its own domain name (like wmd404.com), and 2. It shouldn’t open up a stupid full-screen online casino window when you leave.
AJ • 09/10/04 • 6:30 PM:Man, your links never work. Those articles are temporary I guess?
AJ • 09/10/04 • 6:47 PM:I found the articles, but they didn’t even make me smile. Weird how humor is, huh? A professor in college once said nobody can make another person laugh. You can probably force them to cry, and make them angry, but making them laugh isn’t so easy, I guess.
Anyway, the metaphors seemed forced and the opinions not subtley covered by facts or logical reasoning. That’s going to make it really not funny for a really long time if I’m reading it.
