Author Description

After three years and more than three thousand fake news stories, the best of CARBOLIC SMOKE BALL comes to book form. All the classic bits you've seen and read and laughed about online, all the headlines and punchlines that made you spit your coffee or your soda (or something a little stronger) all over your computer monitor are now collected in one special edition. President Bush vowing to get the man responsible for Hurricane Katrina. Dick Cheney surviving an office fire and declaring that only silver bullets can kill him. Osama bin Laden arguing with Ayman Al-Zawahiri about who'll clean their cave. Hillary Clinton hoarding castration devices. Barack Obama healing the crack on the Liberty Bell. Brett Favre pulling up to Packers' training camp in the Popemobile. The Local Man who only feels alive when he wears his collar bomb. They're all here, with more than 250 hilarious others, reprinted in all their irreverent glory.
