It lacks a certain satirical flair....;)

It's more Pravda (the old Soviet Pravda, not the entertaining version that's around these days) than it's Onion. Mindnumbing propaganda and boring. Interesting that Time has both picked up on that and commented on it. I thought mainstream media was in bed with Pistole.

Nah, I'd agree with the unruly mob comment. In fact, that comparison might be unfair to unruly mobs. :)

Of course, sometimes an unruly mob is deserved.

He's in such good company, too: a Kirstie Alley blog, Domino's blog, and someone named "Orly Taitz". :p
Orly Taitz is a lunatic birther who brought a law suit challenging Obama's constitutional qualifications as president. As I recall, not only was her suit dismissed, but she was sanctioned for bringing it.

Try reading it with a "Monty Python French Waiter" voice. TSABob is quite funny if you do that. :D

In typical BB deceptive fashion, he'll say, "Look, I was mentioned in Time's article about the best blogs of 2011!"
That's nothing - in 2006, I was Time magazine's Person of the Year.

Unfortunately, getting EPA and OSHA approval might be difficult these days...;)

Based on the usage of uncertified X-ray emitters at the checkpoints, I have a feeling that neither EPA nor OSHA has an interest there.
