Isn’t it wonderful living in interesting times? This month’s edition of the Carnival of Satire demonstrates how even dire news has its satiric side:
Lobo kicks things off with this useful advice on how to prepare for the biohazard finale.
Rickey has equally helpful hints in his (un)Official Guide to Swine Flu.
Up until this swine flu thing, the media seemed pretty excited about Twitter. Little did they know that Kneon has been making webcomics with his Tweets. You can jump straight to the comic here.

Sticking with the web, Juliet Chase has A new approach to SEO .
And yes, the economy is still a worry. Generation Bubble puts it in perspective with Yakk in the USSR, or How I Learned to Love the Bubble .
Clearly, Diesel’s strategy for coping with the recession is to try and ride it out in prison. Or perhaps this is just a cry for help. He is trying to sell a novel, after all: I Got Yer Inconsistent Use Right Here. Decide for yourself, then go sign his book thingy so he’ll stop harassing nice people on Facebook. It’s literally the least you can do.
Mike Sowden has his own creative project on the go, and it looks like Fox might be interested — Stellar Quest 1: The Beginning .
Madeleine Begun Kane is still waxing poetic, but this time her limerick has gone to the dogs.
And we’re all not obsessed by current events. Ellis imagines what Elvis would be like if he were an elderly Jewish man.
You know, I had some of the same thoughts when I saw that picture of the five presidents together. Tim Slowikowski has a warning about Jimmy Carter, a bad muthaf*cka.

Satire Patch presents NRA Releases Message On Recent Shootings .

And that’s it for the 113th edition. Thanks to these fine folks for helping us with webby-stuff: the Blog Carnival for their form; and the listings at the Ubercarnival, Ferdy’s permanent floating ping festival, and for the listings at the Blog Carnival too. Also, you may find some satire here if you poke around a bit. Here too. Thanks to Hobbit90 from Freaking News.com for the pic.
Mark, you ROCK! This is truly an honor.
(But level with me … this was really Kang’s idea. Right?)
He has this brain-control lizard thingy that he puts in your ear … it’s very difficult ….
Thank you, sir, for the fine linkage.
