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.

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.

This edition has it all — fractured fairy tales, musical numbers, and zombies! Say, did you want brains with that?
Number 110. What? That can’t be right, can it? I’ve done this 110 times? But that’s crazy isn’t it? Crazy? Enough questioning; here’s the depth of winter edition:
Happy New Year everyone! It’s 2009: A New Hope. Cue John Williams. With any luck Super-Obama can help us save ourselves from the financial meltdown, climate change, robotic monkey overlords (and Death Stars). You can check out the original of the image (left) at
