   DuffleBolg is tough to link to. Were you linking to the one about the SWJ ends the stabbing spree or not exactly combat vet is expert on police tactics?

   Link worked fine. It’s not very good fiction; on a par with your lousy satire attempts (you do other things SO much better)

   So yeah. It’s fiction. Crap fiction.

   Who said it wouldn’t? *shrug*

   Why, thanks – but other people, including quite a few actual writers, like my satire just fine. Since you and Pen have shown an inability to discern satire for as long as you’ve been commenting here, I’ll stick with their opinions. Thanks anyway.

   So yeah. It’s fiction. Crap fiction.

   The truest cuts are the deepest.

   I liked the Marine Corp’s gender “diversity” solution, personally. That got a laugh from me.

   There’s always the ol’ standby: “Thank you for your timely inputs. I’ll give them all the consideration they are due.”

   I found the story about PETA protesting testing hair products on SEALs to be extremely hilarious.

   First time I read DuffelBlog I had to ask some veteran friends if was satire or actual reporting. The answer I got back was, “Satire, but it could’ve happened.”

   Nerdbert, that was a good one too.

   When was the dog released? Did I miss an end of the world while I was away?

   Satire, but it could’ve happened

   Sure sound like real headlines to me.

    So we rate DuffleBlog as “Fake but Accurate.”

    Hey, that ranks DuffleBlog should be as creditable as the CBSNews!

    When was the dog released?

    She went through a brief spasm of responding to responses. I’m sure it won’t last.

    There’s a thin line between “having the blog I want” and “comic relief”. I shoot for the best balance I can get. If you catch my drift.

    “Golly jeepers, Ernie Hemingway, why ever do you feel the need to invent fictional stories that never did happen exactly the way you say? I’d much rather you’d retell a story I read on Media Matters. That’d sell the books!”

    These are good–I am reminded of the (most likely true) story of a captor during the Iranian hostage crisis trying to learn an English word he’d learned, When the captive was asked “What does ‘goatf**ker’ mean?”, he knew the captor had been interacting with the Marine guards.

    Really, Mad Dog’s distaste for these stories indicates little more than that she has no clue about the world of soldiers, which puts her in good company with the President and the crook who wants to replace him.
