The point of the Weekend Desk is to bring a little humor to the absurdities of our global corporate power structure through satire and exaggeration. But where our so-called leaders are making up the craziest shit, executing the most obvious scams, and stripping the last bit of shame from their shameless hypocrisies and evasions, you don’t need us.
Satire is dead. Long live Planned Parenthood.
