  I used to read it all the time on the old site and am a bit disappointed to not see it on all articles here. It is, I imagine, a homage to the "Dept." lines in Mad Magazine, e.g. "Joke and Dagger Dept." for Spy vs. Spy, "Berg's Eye View Dept." for "Lighter Side Of" (by Dave Berg), "Don Martin Dept." for Don Martin's crazy cartoons, and so forth. The line has been used on the other site and here as well to do wordplays just as the Dept. lines were used in Mad.

  I've always wondered who adds those. Thought it was maybe automated.
  Does it take actual brain cells, or requires extra editor caffeine?

  I would have a hard enough time being civil, let alone clever on story after story of political rants.
