People say satire is dead. It's not dead; it's alive and living in the White House Picture Quote #1

Enough of satire; in less hardened times great was her force, and mighty were her rhymes. I've read of men, beyond man's daring brave, who yet have trembled at the strokes she gave; whose souls have felt more terrible alarms from her one line, than from a world in arms Picture Quote #1
