After all, without him and other like "thinking" folks, jokes like this would have no punchline. We should never complain about the likes of Mr. Sullivan.

It's not even clear if Sullivan himself was being satiric by linking to a satiric piece, fooling you into thinking he had fallen for it. In fact, your piece could be satiric, as well, fooling us into think you had fallen for Sullivan's satiric piece about a satiric piece. I think this illustrates why satire should be avoided.

Unless by some stretch of the imagination, Time was actually serious putting Rosie O'Doughnut and Tina Fey on its list. Naw, that would be impossible!

He has also written extensively on the supposedly degrading effect the television show “24″ has on the nation, and how it fits into a Fox/neocon mentality and to desensitize us to the horror of torture. Small wonder, then, that Andrew picked up on this report of a children’s adaptation of “24″ (via Dean Barnett and Rick Moran): Starting this fall, viewers can see what Jack Bauer was like as a child as Fox will spin off “24″ into a Saturday morning cartoon. “We’ll see a little Jack Bauer as a member of the Cub Scouts, torturing Arab kids at camp who look suspicious,” says “24″ creator Joel Surnow.
