Prime Minister Joins Legendary Comedy Quartet ?
(By Random Textbox Inputs)

In an official announcement today, Prime Minister Fernetti announced his intentions to spark some light-hearted activity in Liberalia by joining the Marx Brothers. Millions of Libers have been invested in finding some way of bringing the Marx Brothers back to life, all of them having been dead since 1979, but a Popular Front spokesman said he was confident that "with our extensive programme of grants to the scientific research community, we are sure to find a breakthrough within the coming months".
Previous attempts at injecting Communist philosophy into the trio of Groucho, Harpo, Chico and Zeppo were met with mixed results. For example, the cameo role of Engels Marx in the early 20th century was a critical success, boosting the popularity of the group until his death in a freak accident when diving with a group of high-ups in the Adam Smith Institute. However, the trial of "Josef Marx" as a piece of Cold War propaganda is widely blamed for the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Followers of comedic satire have welcomed the move, describing it as "an avant-garde amalgam of the innovative surrealist comedy of Not the Nine O' Clock News and the cutting political satire of Yes, Prime Minister". Our Layman's Terms translation team is hard at work on the sentence as we speak.
Opposition parties have criticised the move, maintaining that our politicians should be held to a higher standard of discourse and common sense than these cheap clowns, before promptly dropping a ten-ton weight on a group of Popular Front politicians, who, rather luckily, were carrying umbrellas at the time



Gun Laws win Minority Approval

Cowboys and bandits across the Liberalian Old West have celebrated the news that parliament is seriously considering arming them to the teeth. The possibility of the "Right to Bare Arms" act passing means that soon, the much-oppressed criminal minority of Liberalia will once again be granted its God-given right to shoot whoever it likes.
"It's about time," Said local redneck Rusty MacClean, "I can't wait to get me a shotgun and hitch me a wagon. Yee-haw!"
Concern from Liberalia's oppressive, satan-worshipping Liberals over this illustrates just why left-wingers came straight from the bowels of hell, to test decent God-fearing people and their right to kill. Hippies and communists across the region are doing their darndest to stop people from enjoying their weapons as God himself intended. In a cynical attempt to damage guns, it appears some of the flower-power mob have even been trying to insert flower petals into the barrels of the guns of respectable, ordinary robbers. In a few weeks time, however, this will no longer be a problem, because they will all be shot.
