NED SQUIRRELS (published 6 October 2006)

The electronic tagging of ned squirrels has hit several snags following the refusal of many of the threatened species to retain the devices on their little furry paws.

DAVID CHAMELEON (published 6 October 2006)

Neo-Conservative cum Liberal Fascist, David Chameleon, has unveiled his party's vision for the future. 'Basically, we're just going to do anything that people like until they tell us they don't like it and then we'll do something else. It's a radical departure from our previous strategy of just doing what we thought people wanted until they told us that they didn't want it anymore. And that.'
