Wagener seems unable to make this distinction. He mistakes Hitler's flights of quasi-history and pseudo science for higher truth. It is a form of mental alchemy that confuses metaphor with fact.

...Jerry's is getting fat on America's growing appetite for so-called super-premium ice cream, brands made with natural ingredients and plenty of butterfat.

Our spy reports that Elvis showed up around 10:30 to a cocktail hour, went unrecognized by most of the wannabe hipsters in attendance, and handed out his digits to perplexed partygoers. Or tried to, at least. While we doubt Elvis will be put up, we do wonder whether any fame-seeking Signette...
