    Lol. The Onion is wonderful. We have nothing like it in the UK. Compare this with the vulgar end-of-pier rubbish which passes for comedy or satire over here. Say, TV shows like Little Britain USA or Paul Merton in India which grossly insult everyone in the host country while showing ourselves in the crassest light. I suppose our most talented satirists work in other fields. Step forward Jeremy Clarkson and Andrew Neil, perhaps. The eccentric Heston Blumenthal shows promise, too.

    Well there's always Chris Morris - but otherwise, yes, 'satire' here is dire, mostly smug mutual grooming.

    Yes, Morris apart, British satire is also uniformly left wing. Whereas The Onion, South Park etc have a go at absolutely everything.

    One of our greatest comedy acts, now sadly no longer with us, graced our television screen last night, the wonderfull Barbara, complete with eyelashes the size of Condors. Magic, riveting, if only we had more like her. Viva Cartland the Pink.
    Two books per month, man that's Homeric.
