The internet, unhappy with its futile Ron Paul spamming campaign, today launched a large flying object into the sky to spam the heavens themselves with Ron Paul mindshare.
This election is comedy gold.

This sketch from The State was the first time I had been made aware of the idea of pushing a nonsense argument beyond its own limit:
This method has come under frequent use the past couple of years under what has become the insane modern umbrella of serious comedy.
With some comedy we are just past the point of jokes, where a joke can even be past itself, and this is that case. The real emphasis lies in drawing attention to the argument despite its pointlessness. This is a serious matter. This is acting; there’s an art form in excessively pigheaded lying.
Seem familiar? If you work in a bureaucratic environment, this crap tends to happen in real life! Politics? Watch a modern debate and tell me those guys are pushing lies to the point of comedy. They use this beyond circular reasoning crap as a debate tactic. It’s post-ironic.
