Very Funny "Dog"

A satire that works. Outrageous and worthy of Evelyn Waugh. No kidding!

bingo

A terriffic read. More than a parody of NYC post the current mayor, Man Bites Dog is a too plausible tale of fiction which has all the hallmarks of reality about urban politics today and the absence of political leadership mangnified by media run by mental midgets. This is an entertainment in the mode of Graham Greene (but the locale is not Havana but NYC). There is no message other than "wake-up".
