Humor writing works best when it is gently satirical rather than acidic or bitingly acerbic. The trick to mocking something with elan is to tease out the absurdities behind the pontifications, the wry humor behind headlines that in normal course leave one frothing at the mouth.
As a straphanger on a subway ride once told me, "When you get good and mad, the only person whose energy is expended without any productive outcome is yours."
