alt Hacker News> I saw a story about a senator that actually cares giving an impassioned speech for hours on end. Remember the times when that actually happened.
You are talking about the Cory Booker speech? I don't see any indication that this is an April fool's joke if that's what you're implying. Otherwise I don't understand what you mean.
I am implying when are living in times where you can't tell if something is a joke or not based upon how much sense it makes.
I guess I just generated another example. Although it was kind of intended as irony.
