A little piece of satire
The school districts in my hometown, Spartanburg South Carolina are not showing President Obama's speech to school children. I wrote a little piece of satire on the topic for a local news site that I regularly contribute to. Figured you guys might like it. Read it here.


Thanks

1. Hilarious, biting and to the point. But you
are in Redneckistan so there will be those who do not understand satire.

3. Oh, I wouldn't worry too much about that
We have our own smallish progressive community around here. They make up the bulk of my readers.

I'm actually hoping one of the reactionaries around the area sees it and spreads it around. My sense of humor is kinda twisted I admit.

11. Delightful!
Fun to read if you can keep the idea that many will believe it's real and agree with it at bay.
