George Santos (R-NY) and his imaginative (but dishonest) résumé
One of Australia's most famous satirist's (Barry Humphries RIP) most famous routines was to dress up in drag as Dame Edna.
He did other characters (male) too and was married with several kids. I never heard one person claim insult by Dame Edna.

Protests at Universities across the fruited plain
FYI The mountain, Sentinel Peak, commonally called A-Mountain was 'vandalized' a hundred years ago when the 'A' was built. It is repainted at least once a year before football season starts. Sometimes more that once. Rival students from ASU try to paint it in ASU colors, maroon and urine, when the f...

Privite Eye "Letters from our own corrispondent"
Private Eye is a great magazine. Started in the sixties and has boasted some of the greatest political and satirical writers of the last 70 years.
It was started by Peter Cook, and included a lot of expat Australians like Barry Humphreys in the early days.

Few more vacatio...

Hmm. I have put 2 and 2 together and come with 4. Probably. I think. Maybe. 2 number 1 => folks here have established that Turnip is on Adderall. Possibly this is a joke, but it would, of course, be irresponsible to not speculate that it is accepted as established fact. 2 number 2 => Turnip is falli...
