Irony is tending toward the mean.  When irony is discredited as it is

today  how does it recapture its "edge"?

Irony never loses its edge.  Like Occam's razor, as long as there is 

something left to slice, we lovers of irony will operate...





First off apologies for my previous missive-didn't mean to get so worked 
up.  I guess my point is sure irony will never "lose its edge"  in an of 
itself but seems to me it should be directed at evils and their utter 
stupidity not the weak and powerless.   Doesn't Pirate mention something 
about "cheap nihilsm" I think in the hell chapter-we are drowning in it 
folks IMHO.  Everybody's a target.  My apologies also to Eco, etc...I've 
read their books but they haven't stuck with me...
