It's all a spoof. After GW won last year the headline read " Nations poor win election for nations rich" It's all tongue in cheek. Great paper. If I need a good laugh I try and read it online.

"Novelty-song writer"? That's what his songs are? He's right up there with Weird Al Jankolovich.

"Beachcombover's"? I love it!

"during the day potential drink-buyers typically spend their weekday afternoons managing shoe stores, adjusting claims, or entering data."

Entering data, yeah, that's what we're doing.
