this IS sarcastic, WAAAAAAAAY sarcastic. I had several double takes.

                        Just because he composes elaborately accurate 
                        pictures of mass killers, Nazi style scientific 
                        "experimenters",  slavers, reaganaut prison camp 
                        imagineers and rapine industrialists doesn't mean 
                        that his real intention is to question their natural 
                        and obvious legitimacy.  


I would have capitalized "Reaganaut". on the other hand, it does slip in that much easier without the cap.
