ScrappleFace editor Scott Ott writes satirical columns on Tuesday and Friday for the Washington Examiner. Here’s an excerpt of his latest, and a link to read more.
Just a day after White House “green jobs czar” Van Jones resigned amid controversy over his radical views, the Obama administration said it had discovered a new vetting tool called “Google” that also revealed that the president’s “public option” health insurance proposal may be socialist as well.

The dirtiest word in the history of our great land. One guaranteed to strike fear in the hearts of little old ladies across the land. A beautiful thing, fear. It can truly set you…well "free" might not be the word I'm looking for but it will "set you" at least.
That's got to be good…right?

When Giggle has to explain Google, it's time to use Dogpile instead.

Lets not forget Mr. Crosby's new thing….Bing! Or is that a "cherry" thing? So confusing this "internet" thingy

Gracious! My "p" ratring is dropping like a rock (3 points in the last hour). If I was the suspicious type I'd say you folks are voting me down out of spite.
Nah, you'd never do that because you'd know that the only way I could get it back up would be to post more often…

Take a page from how the socialist bee colonies work: worker bees, drones, and a queen bee. Now, honey and wax may be produced in that system, but the needs of the least productive (the aptly named drones and queenie) take precedence of the efforts of the most productive.
To mix a metaphor: In the mind of the Kahuna-in-Chief, "Serf's up!"

I was thinking that maybe "angry mob" or "right wing extremist" might be scarier…at least according to the newscasters I keep hearing. But if you ask someone who's lived in a socialist country, they might disagree…

"Socialist" is such an ugly word. Google just a little deeper and you'll find Van Jones is really just a harmless Communist, and the Public Option takeover of health insurance (and G.M. etc.) is our old friend Fascism. There now, doesn't that sound better?

"Socialist" is a lot less scary than the actual definitions. (So scary that when I used the words ID vaporized my post.)

Interesting — ID even censored me when I *didn't* use the words Google should have returned …
