CANADIANS LOSE JOKE SUBSIDY
McSweeney’s is preparing to publish a best-of humor edition featuring the finest jokes ever to have appeared at the McSweeney’s website or in the McSweeney’s journal. I’m in it, and so are three other Australians. You hear that, Canada? Your long dominance of the lucrative US humor market> is at an end.
And all because we supported the war in Iraq.
UPDATE. On second thoughts, maybe I shouldn’t have mentioned this ...

Ha! You'll never dominate the joke market because of a fundamental that will never change: Canada *is* a joke, and therefore a natural source of comedians.
