"It won't be easy, of course. Life without the Simpsons is difficult to imagine. Who will extol the life-enhancing properties of beer? Who will explain to the young that school is precisely as grim as they always suspected?

And who will be left to point out that sentences such as the one you just read are satire's enduring justification?"
