Lapsing into parody?
Lots of people on the right think that the liberal group MoveOn.org is a joke. Well, now they’ll have a bit more ammo in their argument.

The powerful liberal activist group has wooed Peter Koechley away from the satirical newspaper The Onion, where he was managing editor.
In an e-mail blast that went out on Thursday, Koechley refers to “MoveOn, where I now work.”
The missive directs recipients to VotePoke.com, a new MoveOn project that allows users to check their voter registration status and encourage their friends to register.
An Onion spokesman confirmed that Koechley departed in the fall; his name no longer appears on The Onion’s masthead. MoveOn did not provide us a comment by press time.
At the very least, this will likely (hopefully!) result in one important change: Funnier headlines on MoveOn.org fundraising requests.
