From \"Cover-up covered up with fresh cover-up\" to \"Superpower now opposed to armed group in war-torn country it previously armed\" and from \"Billionaire mounts pointless vanity project in space\" to \"Local authorities unprepared for seasonal change that occurs every year\", this book is filled with stories that feel ripped from today's headlines, yesterday's front page, and next year's news cycle all at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePresented to look like a newspaper (remember those?), it is a perfect gift for readers who appreciate sharp, intelligent satire (\u003cem\u003eThe Onion\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Chaser\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003ePrivate Eye\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Betoota Advocate\u003c\/em\u003e) as well as news junkies and political watchers who have grown fatigued by the pace and breathlessness of the ever-urgent news agenda.
