Scary website.
Just went to this website through Atrios. This kinda scares me. Unless I am wrong, I believe O'Reilly used the term "Fifth Columnists" tonight on his show, correct me if I am wrong.

1. Kind-of subtle satire.
I take that it's a spoof of http://www.newamericancentury.org - a real scary site.

3. it's a joke site, read a little closer
"too few political leaders today are making the case for American interests being the most interesting interests there are" seems way over the top, not to mention the whole banana in the tailpipe thing.

10. It's a satire of PNAC's real (scary) website
which is http://www.newamericancentury.org/

Note, the two sites look quite a lot alike, as well as having similar URLs.
