The Audacity of Hype

Published in 2009 and based on columns written between 2002 and 2008 (some of which I read at the time) this is a very specific slice of satire which still manages to be timely.
The general writings on the stupidity of humankind are, if anything, even more relevant today. The era specific stuff made me almost nostalgic at times - and there was a lot of Gordon Brown stuff. I swear he was only Prime Minister for half an hour but from the amount of coverage he gets in here it must have been a lot longer!
