    Brilliant as ever!

    P.S. I just realised OLIVE REAM and OVER A MILE is an anagram. Very smooth!

    Excellent - the sad thing is that each headline reflects a specific truth which is covered up, or a rampant idiocy which is not acknowledged… aah, the wonders of a “free press”!

    P.S. I just realised OLIVE REAM and OVER A MILE is an anagram.

    And yet he has the audacity to lampoon poor Dan Brown! ;-)

    My favorite is the one on Bolton! lol…Enjoyed my first visit. I am a strong believer in the power of humor and sarcasm. It’s funny, but I’ve started working a while ago on my own sarcastic fictional news stories inspired by life in Dubai and was hoping to get to the international scene sometime later; it’s on my blog; you may also want to check my other blog on Palestine. They’re both new and still need lots of work. I think I spend more time commenting on other people’s blogs than writing my own stuff!
