Screwed! “Yes Men” Come Back With Fake New York Post
Did your New York Post look stranger than usual this morning? Rumors have been swirling for a while now that the Yes Men, those fun folks who brought New Yorker’s last year’s fake New York Times, were cooking up something new. Turns out it was a fake New York Post, which was handed out this morning to commuters city-wide.
While last November’s fake Times announced the end of the Iraq war, today’s fake Post is all about the environment. Nothing like printing papers to save trees! The fake Post reports, (real Post-style!) on secret environmental reports predicting “massive climate catastrophes, public health disasters.” Considering the recent resurgence of swine flu probably more than pre-coffee reader was taken in by the front page alone.
Courtesy of some loyal Mediaite readers we have a slideshow of some of the contents — the Page Six page featuring Brad Pitt and Pamela Anderson is actually fairly well done, though the Flopenhagen hed “Will Things Go Rotten in the State of Denmark” is a personal fave. Those Yes Men have been studying their Post! See the slideshow here.

Glenn Beck Puts The ‘SanFran Radicals’ Responsible For HCR On Notice
It's likely no one will benefit more immediately from yesterday's HCR vote than Glenn Beck. Beck tweeted out earlier this morning what I can only assume is a preview of what's to come on his show between now and November. I'm not entirely clear on who the "60's sanfran radicals" are...I'm guessing Nancy Pelosi?
