Do you really have to ask? Now I know how the writers for the Onion feel when one of their articles is quoted approvingly by Vladimir Putin or Donald Trump. I'm not comparing you with those guys, just pointing out the difficulty of writing parody in a world that defies it.

To quote Tom Lehrer: Political satire became obsolete when Henry Kissinger was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

This happened in 1973, but Tom Lehrer held his farewell concert in 1967.

I love Tom Lehrer. My parents had his records, and played them frequently when I was growing up in the 60s and 70s. Even though I am vegan, and advocate for animal welfare, I still love singing "poisoning pigeons in the park".

I especially liked,"Oedipus Rex."  ". . . he loved his mother."
