Blast from the past: my satirical look at Easter, from a year ago.
"Sensible Republicans Celebrate Myth of Dead Man Coming Back to Life
"Millions of folks who pride themselves on pragmatism and common sense gathered today to mark the anniversary of Jesus' reincarnation.
"Underscoring their levelheadedness, most of these people honored the occasion by boiling and painting several chicken eggs to place in cheap, wicker baskets, along with loads of candy and chocolate.
"These sanest of sane flag-wavers then informed their suggestible children the baskets came from an 'Easter Bunny,' a big rabbit who delivers such goodies to obedient children every Easter eve.
"Later, these respectably sensible Americans hid their kids' eggs, most likely outside somewhere, so that their children could be occupied for hours competing for hours-old, putrescent, grass-stained cholesterol capsules.
'No wonder we Christians is so dad-burned well-adapted to run thangs,' commented Billy-Joe Caldwell of Dunedin, N.C."
