Both Barrels

We have become intolerably tired of scolding the rogues and dunces of this village to no purpose. The more shrilly we clamor against them the more irreclaimable they become. It has just dawned on us in the light of a revelation, that mere verbal satire is a delusion and a cheat - that the battles of intellect are waged with stuffed clubs - that the pen is not only less mighty than the sword, but is even inferior to a well-wielded hand saw. In accordance with this new and wholly original view, we have decided upon a course of action designed, we prayerfully hope, to exterminate knavery and folly, in the brief period required for a complete oscillation in the tail of a lively lamb. Our abusive personalities will be continued for our own private delectation, but for the actual punishment of crime and stupidity we shall send round a man with a shotgun.
Ambrose Bierce

Now, this looks rather interesting. "Guys (and Gals), we have a crisis on our hands. Our only possible response? Satire." That's what I like to hear, although the suggestion of a newspaper about climate change called The Daily Planet tends to set my Lex Luthor complex tingling. Anyway, the author seems to be affiliated with this lot, who are clearly plotting something.
