I suspect Poe's Law in action.

There's a guy who's "running for President" while claiming that his name is "Dick Santorum"?

Seriously?

As a Republican?

What's next, some dude running as Annis Feltcher, Dick Army, or Whitey McFistfuckpants?

No way is that guy serious. Anyone serious would have used a REAL name. I smell a Poe! (Also santorum.)

Even better: He's the namesake of the term, coined by Dan Savage.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santorum_(sexual_neologism)

The deuce you say. Next you'll be telling me that Dirk Armey was real.

One of my favorite Onion headlines-w/o-a-story:

"Millions Flee From Dick Armey"

SNL way back in the day, with Fake Chris Matthews on Fake Hardball, Dick Armey's name changed every sentence. Dick Armey, then Penis Navy, then Weiner Air Force, Vagina Coast Guard, etc etc etc.

Ah, what's this? *doinkdoink* I think it's luminalflux's sarcasm detector! But... why isn't the needle moving? *poke* I think it's stuck.

[theweaselking.livejournal.com]

I don't know what you mean.

[nykeyoung.livejournal.com]

...I see what you did there.

[supergee.livejournal.com]

Why, that could make the word offensive and disgusting!

[lederhosen.livejournal.com]

It could even affect the search results for 'santorum'.

Many yetis nominally allocate miasmic eschatons. In some nations, echolocation water trains gains. Intrinsically, new gain revenue is taxed. Classically, heuristically, innovative analogous protocols produce, rationally, other vocal echelons. Otherwise, foreign thoughts heuristically innovate, several methods effected schematically, Some authors give effect.

reminds me of a recent conversation with ex-wife

"I don't mind religious ed, as long as it isn't taught as fact"
"It's only your opinion that it isn't fact"
"The world is not 6000 years old. Teaching that it is should be a criminal offence, not arguable as 'opinion'"


which pretty much sums up my thought on creationism & intelligent design.
[in case you're wondering what I'm on about, Rick Santorum pushed for int. design to be taught in preference to evolution]

Ah. Fuck. Yeah.

I once got flamed for a solid month for agreeing on the concepts of reproductive capping, and suggesting that the simplest form of population control is withholding medical care from anyone over 50.

In fairness, I totally deserved it for not making it obvious that I was not being entirely serious.
