How about getting rid of all the HOT air in Washington?

Imagine how THAT would clean up our environment?

I have a person calling me a bigot on a facebook page because of my satire. These people don’t understand what satire is. And they would really like to ban it.

NBC could save itself by coming out with a new game/quiz program:

Who said it?

Sometimes truth is more unbelievable than fiction.

Top draw, public: Who needs satire when you got

Obama Jivethon's Lying Circus' hilarious wild comic parody of an American administration!

"Makes Monty Python's Flying Circus look positively dour," say entertainment insiders.

The Onion jumped the shark years ago. Then the shark surfaced for a minute, and she turned out to be Nancy Pelosi.

Excellent. I’ve been reflecting on the same thing lately. The irony is, your post should be meta-satire, but it isn’t.

Great satire/lol. . .still available here; thanks to Lazamataz.

(You do have to pinch yourself. . .even Clinton - the WACO President - making subtle but sadistic exhortations for the need to 'make nice' - raising the 'tempest in a teapot' to 'red alert' warning levels.)

Of course, we know, he IS for real. . .

Good one, Laz! Some of the talent here on FR should start their own “Onion-style” news site. Some of the funniest stuff I’ve read is in the FR comment section.

Bankruptcy has been filed as of Thursday, April 15

Well, the satirical article wasn't written on the first April fool's day, but it was written on April 15th, the real day when everybody is taken for a fool.
