Let's Play "Spot the Sarcasm"
Since it seems to be my day to link to Glenn Reynolds, let's play a little game:
Can you spot the sarcasm in a recent soldier's comments about the situation in Iraq?
Bonus if you can answer, correctly, whether or not the New York Times editors were able to spot said sarcasm. (Hint: there's not much evidence in favor, is there?)
(Thanks to Moe for the heads-up.)
From the article: "[W]e went in with our steely knives and oily guns."
Steely knives, eh? Shades of Hotel California -- does that make Saddam the Beast?
Matthew:
Good catch!
...but wait!
Doesn't that line in the song say that "we just can't kill the beast?"
Indeed it does.
Um, you're the one who lives in metro Detroit. Way to shoot yourself in the foot.
