Chesterton Alert, Part MCMVLX
By Mitch Berg
The world has become too absurd to be satirized
– G.K. Chesterton
As God is my witness, I saw this headline for a few days on social media, and assumed it was The Babylon Bee. And then I wondered. And then I confirmed it.
But it took a while.

So when did The Babylon Bee abandon satire and switch over to straight news?
– signed, a deeply disappointed former fan.
I suppose this was inevitable the day The Strib, NYT, WAPO, CNN and MSNBC switched from straight news to satire.

Speaking of headlines:
4th person killed overnight in Seattle’s deadly weekend of gun violence
Because you know, guns are roaming the streets committing violence.

Justplain, it’s just another cutsie phrase the left uses because they cannot win the argument with legitimate debate.
-tax cuts for the rich
-reproductive healthcare rights
-misinformation
-toxic masculinity
-systemic racism
-climate change
-gun violence
My guns must have been defective, because before I lost them all in a tragic boating accident none of them ever got up on their own and shot someone.

Next time someone says to you “commons sense gun reform”, ask them to their face: how is taking my gun going to stop a black youth from shooting another black youth in Chicago?

It’s always the good (guns) that die young. My condolences.
