Spoof Times

Thousands of copies of an elaborate hoax edition of the New York Times were handed out free around the city this morning by volunteers for the Yes Men, a lefty pressure group. See above; the main story of the fake edition dated sometime in 2009 was the ending of the Iraq War. (Didn't it end when the moron-in-chief Bush arrived on that aircraft carrier deck with the "Mission Accomplished" banner?) Apparently the fake edition ran to 14 pages of utopian news and took six months to plan and execute -- AND must have cost a fortune!
