My Notes: What place is there in the world for satire? H. L. Mencken said, “The final test of truth is ridicule. Very few dogmas have ever faced it and survived.” Sometimes we learn life’s greatest lesson by being called stupid. It takes a stubborn soul not to, as Marilyn Manson once said, “smell your own shit on your knees.” But some things are sacred. They’re presumed exempt from being called on their bluff. It’s no coincidence some of the most fucked up institutions are the ones that are deemed sacred. Je suis Charlie. I believe nothing is sacred. And as a Charlie Hedbo editor put it, “I’d rather die standing than live on my knees.”
