This Is Satire

During the Blitz, Edward R. Murrow would intone, "This is London."
Since so many people in the Internet age are literal-minded and humorless, I labelled a post as "Satire" earlier on the Facebook page, St. Augustine Voice:
The 1%, a/k/a "DAVID SHOAR-ostitutes," a/k/a "BOLES-WEEKS Axis of Evil," a/k/a "MASSA PROCTOR's overseers," are sick and tired of your Yankee liberal commie pinkos walking light in your loafers and drinking your white whine and asking for Yankeethings, like audits, accountability, accounting, procedures, due process, First, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendment rights. If you don't like it, go back to where you came from!
Some of the most outspoken supporters of Mayor Nancy Shaver have been here the longest, with families who voted with their feet fleeing from British oppression in 1777.
On the other hand, Sheriff DAVID BERNARD SHOAR, f/k/a "DAVID BERNARD HOAR," moved here at age 19 from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, where is he descended from a long line of HOARS. He changed his name to get elected.
The heirs of Standard Oil monopolist HENRY FLAGLER, who started FLAGLER COLLEGE, and hired WILLIAM L. PROCTOR, a/k/a "MASSA PROCTOR," are likewise recent arrivals.
JOHN PATRICK REGAN, P.E. is from Coral Gables (Miami ritzy suburb).
JOSEPH LESTER BOLES, JR. is from Charlotte, NC.
CLAUDE LEONARD WEEKS, JR., who has been known to stay as BOLES' guest at his home in Blowing Rock, NC., is originally from New York State.
