april fools for greater fools

It’s April Fools again here in the Western world. In commemoration, this post lists some biting posts, more satirical than serious, that have graced these pages, each of them in search of fools to put to a deserved round of searing and roasting. Watch out, and try not to get seared yourself.
And don't let that serious-looking picture on the right fool you.

Diary entries of a consummate dollar pegger
