This song is dedicated to every Conservative who likes it becuase they don't understand irony.
LOL
My new favorite song. Couldn't have said better myself if you gave me a thousand years to try.

Gold Star Awards, August, 2010
I got a few things in my in-box (RW Propaganda Video, Tomas Sowell article) that I'd like to savage, but I've been in such a pissy mood lately that I thought I'd do a more positive piece. So, once again, it's time to immortalize a few more websites with what might be the single most meaningless, over-rated and over-the-top award in the world: Induction into Niceguy Eddie's Hall of Fame!
This month we're following the election of 1952, which saw two BWAA inductees (Gold Stars) but none from the Veterans Committee. (So no Silvers this month.)
The Harry Heilmann, Gold Star #22: The Midnight Review
Folks, let me first say Kevin K's blog has been on my short list since about January. And yet every month it seemed like I'd remember some other site, or some site would come to my attention that I felt I just HAD to talk about. But enough's enough. This has been a LOOOONG time coming. Kevin K is a prolific blogger, with incredibly in-depth, well-researched and well-cited posts. He's a great source for a well-informed take and keen insight on everything that's going on in the world of politics. Comparing my blog to his would be like comparing AM Talk Radio to the way a News and Political media source SHOULD work. (I'd point to an example, but given the sad state of our media, none really comes to mind! NPR?) Anyway, check it out. The only reason I occasionally sound like I know what I’m talking about is because the are people like Kevin K. (and ClassicLiberal and other Gold Stars that I've mentioned) who do a much better job at this than I do.
The Paul Waner Gold Star #23: Political Irony
I first became aware of Iron Knee’s blog last month when one of their readers left a comment on IMHO saying they found their way here because he had posted something of mine. So I checked out his site and very quickly became absolutely crazy about it. You see… I LOVE irony; especially the kind that comes in the form of Political Hypocrisy. And pointing out this politically hypocritical brand of irony is pretty much ALL THEY DO. It’s fantastic. It’s hilarious. It’s like what “Countdown” would be if all KO did was “Worst Person in the World” for an hour strait! I love the cartoons, I love the posts, I love that he found something I wrote to be worth his while to post… (LOL/wink) I can pay it only the highest compliment that I can think of: That I wish I had done my own blog like that! It’s a riot. Check it out.

The Definition of "irony"
OK...
Arguably the most over- and mis- used word in the english language lately has GOT to be "irony."
Here's a primer.
Now... If there is one entity in the universe that must not only truly understand irony, but also appreciate it, and have a wicked sense of humor to boot, it is the Google Adsense ad-bot. You know, the algorithm that keeps putting ads for Sarah Palin's Book, Ann Coulter's Column and Ben Stein's website on this blog.
Just remember... It's not ME who's supporting THEM. THEY'RE actually the ones who are sponsoring ME!
See? IRONY.
But the absolute BEST example of irony... One that made me LOL for about a minute strait... came a few nights ago on the website... (wait for it...)... POLITICALIRONY.COM!
No, that's not the ironic part. In fact that's not ironic AT ALL. It's really what was to be expected. The real IRONY came in the form of the AD that was placed RIGHT NEXT to a particuar cartoon. I grabbed a screen cap (click once or twice to enlarge):
Now THAT my friends, in context? Is IRONY, writ large.
Has Fred Thompson EVER looked so desperate and pathetic? Either the Ad-Bot has a keen sense of irony, or it just HATES Fred Thompson. LOL
