Not at all, that deepens it—thank you, I didn't know that Mooseburger  
was an overt racist. This is much like Frenesi's love of signifiers of  
fascism, like the way she gets really hot for 'hot cops' in TV crime  
dramas, that whole Traverse seduction into fascist impulse. Remember,  
this is satire, everyone gets criticized, no one is off the hook.

Thanks.
