There's nothing wrong in enjoying the writings of people whose political ideas you disagree with. I'd rather say that if you cannot do that, there's something wickedly wrong in you.

Different types of comedy are impacted very differently if you discover the author believes what they're saying.

"A Modest Proposal" [1] would be seen in a very different light if we learned Jonathan Swift was serious.
