Ironic journalism to the rescue again.

by Philocrites

During the Republican National Convention, literature and cultural studies professor Michael Bérubé put on his ironic participant-journalist hat and went native among the Republican fat cats in New York. (What better way to explode conservative mythology than parody?) Now that the Christian Right has coronated itself America's values czar, Bérubé has decamped to Colorado Springs, home of James Dobson's Focus on the Family, for some more ironic journalism. Be sure to note the distinction he discovers between Christian and CHRISTIAN.
