I think you may be right, not that there is anything wrong with that...


..... His wife will keep the family home and automobiles, while Santorum will keep most of the couple's wardrobe.

he says. "My wife kept complaining that I talked too much about gay sex while we were making love.

Santorum says he's ready to move on and has already started leasing a bachelor pad in the Logan Circle neighborhood of Washington, D.C.
Logan Circle Remains D.C.'s Top Gay Neighborhood

"Single life is going to be hard," he laments. "There aren't a lot of women interested in an aging father of seven. I might have to get creative about who I date."

"I was just trying to explain how all the anal and oral things they do are filthy and disgusting compared to our intercourse. But apparently my wife didn't appreciate hearing about bears and twinks while I was inside of her."

I wager he has already sampled the 'filthy and disgusting' and found it to his liking.
The lady doth protest too much, methinks.


Now that you bring it up, I wonder if he really is responsible for santorum.com.....

Ah, the author of "It takes a family" heavily criticizing divorce rates and low childbirth rates (and muslims, and gays, and all that fun stuff). A model citizen!

I think he'd rather die than get a divorce after reading his book. Glad he's not our senator anymore. God forbid one of his kids turn out gay.

I Googled befor posting...several references. I do not know if it is my browser or what but I am not finding 'satire'. Not saying that it couldn't be, but just not showing. (scratching head)

...I did the same, and every "reference" that I can find points back to this article, thereby disqualifying it. If you go to the homepage of the site, you will see other headlines such as "Pope Benedict Comes Out as Gay", or "NASA Rover Finds Message From God on Mars", or "Ann Coulter Shoots Black Cat on Neighborhood Watch", or...

Also, clicking on the "About" link brings you to a page that begins like this:
Quote:
The Daily Currant is an English language online satirical newspaper that covers global politics, business, technology, entertainment, science, health and media. It is accessible from over 190 countries worldwide - now including South Sudan.

Our mission is to ridicule the timid ignorance which obstructs our progress, and promote intelligence - which presses forward.



Q. Are your news stories real?

A. No. Our stories are purely fictional. However they are meant to address real-world issues through satire and often refer and link to real events happening in the world
I guess what I'm saying is that checking the source would be a good idea, especially if you're not familiar with it, along with clicking on the Google search results to see what they are and who they reference.

Instead of The Onion, think small dried berries. But similar "news" sources.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

anyone ever read the classic vintage onion stuff? I never realized how long that publication has been around, but I found the article blaming the sinking of the Titanic on the Spanish quite amusing.

I figured this was satire after reading a bit of it. It is just too over the top.

But 'satire' is how the story about 'Barry Sorento' got started, and to this day there are Conservatives that claim it is true.

Thank you for that information. You must be Google master level.

I had wondered that at first as well, but then I considered some of head shaking things that have come from Santorum's mouth in the past......

I thought we all knew that and were having a good run at Santorum just for the fun of it....

And, as Pooka pointed out, if we repeat it often enough, then it must come true...
