Volume 270, No. 18

Here in our newsroom, every fortnight is a brain marathon. Our editor, a lazy person at heart, generally scrimps well enough on energy expenditure to post at least some of the latest paper’s content before throwing in the towel.

This fortnight a petty but ill-timed calamity involving credit card numbers, PINs, passwords—the usual rigamarole, now resolved—took that last bit of energy and set it alight, like a gas flare at an oil well. All those BTUs, gone for nothing…

Ah, well. Such is life in this collapsing empire. We’ll be posting those parts tomorrow. As our longtime readers know, breaking news is not our bailiwick.

We were aware of today’s national May Day protest, but we did not deviate from our usual routine.

Why? Because, in publishing this newspaper, putting workers over billionaires is what we do.

As proof, we offer our issue dated May Day, 2026. To read it, just give this link a click.

Volume 270, No. 16

Let the record show that what passes for civilization has reached the state at which it’s possible to say without exaggeration that any fortnight without Armageddon is a good one.

In celebration of not yet having been destroyed by an autocrat with both frontotemporal dementia and nuclear weapons, we have published another newspaper.

This fortnight’s rant looks at our current Crusade. One might hope that with a half-century of perspective on Vietnam, 35 years on Bush père’s Grand Adventure, not to mention Bush fils’ debacles, one might have hoped that this could have been avoided. But to entertain that hope, one would have to have been an idiot.

This notable absence of coherence in current events, however, did not prevent us from publishing. To read our latest issue, just give this link a click.

When editing a newspaper, one must always strive to give the reader a view of current events that is both accurate and coherent. This is always challenging, but that’s fine. It’s what makes the work rewarding.

We do worry, though, that if we continue down our present path, reality itself with lose its coherence.

On January 20, 2017, Matt Christman tweeted, “This is the stupidest day in American history, a record that will be broken by every subsequent day in American history.”

It’s been 3,333 days, he hasn’t been wrong yet, and this past fortnight showed no signs of a turnaround.

The Governor has been saying since last year that she has been kept in the dark about ICE’s proposed gulag in Merrimack.

Then along comes Todd Lyons, MAGA bureaucrat, who contradicts her in no uncertain terms.

The Guv rebuts, “this is not true.”

Bring on the popcorn.

Rest easy, America. It may seem like we’re headed for the rocks, but we’ve got the President’s own mind and sense of morality to protect us.

What could possibly go wrong?

It goes without saying that, as a nation, we are racing towards a state of total dysfunction.

We’re caught in Zeno’s Dichotomy paradox. Every fortnight we cut in half the remaining distance between us and a complete breakdown.

But—even though the Executive Branch has now degenerated to the point where it is openly threatening our allies and our citizens—enough vital systems are still working to enable us to put out another newspaper today.
