Satire is dead, ya know

On Salon today, Tom Tomorrow satirizes the Fox News Channel's recent drive to "defend Christmas" from secular humanists and liberals. Yeah, funny. But I'm really starting to wonder -- what good does it do? All the fucking satire in the world didn't keep Bush from being re-elected. Do you think those assholes really pay attention to stuff like this? Or is it all just to make us feel better?
