It would be insane if the post wasn't caustic.

It's extremely hard to execute satire via text online between people who do not know one another since there's always someone out there so far beyond the pale they may say such things in all earnestness.

It's only fair, considering that these satirical people don't get the middle class, either. I wouldn't call it amazing, though.

I'd say Voltaire and Sinclair Lewis got and get the middle class quite well, but what do I know since I am at heart both a knuckle dragger and a satirist...Cheerio old boy............................

I, too am obviously fond of satire, dragging my knuckles more frequently than I should with the callusses to prove it. I also fall in the "middle class," according to various pundits, but damned if I can reliably define what that is a lot of the time. It seems to change from pundit to pundit depending on the agenda they're pushing. Voltaire and Sinclair? I'm not so sure they can, either, but what the hell.

A Happy and Prosperous New Year to you, Sir(?)

Same to you.

"Sarcaustic," perhaps? I think we might have a new word here. I like it!
