"There's an elite in our society composed of politicians, business people and celebrities," Funniest Blog in America author Michael Levin told a hastily assembled Irvine, California news conference, "that are totally out of touch with real life. Their fortune and fame insulates them from reality. It's my job to point out the silliness of their actions and words, and in so doing to become wealthy and famous enough to join them."
Levin told reporters that he was "very pleased" with the blog's reception around the world. "So far, we have completely transformed the way the wealthy and powerful view their responsibilites to society. We have lowered greenhouse emissions, reduced our nation's dependence on foreign oil, solved several major "cold case" homicides, created new jobs, and put 100,000 policemen on the street. In our next 100 posts, we intend to end the war in Iraq on favorable terms, improve education opportunities in the inner cities of our nation, reduce taxes, and create a world of peace, love, and understanding."
When asked by reporters whether he was overstating the importance of the blog, Levin agreed. "If the people I'm writing about can be so drastically out of touch about reality, why can't I?"
Levin said that he is available to serve as a celebrity pundit for "national network morning shows, appropriate cable programs, weddings, and Bar Mitzvahs."
"It's not easy being funny," Levin admitted. "Actually, the world is funny. All I have to do is write stuff down before The Onion or Steven Tolbert think of it. That's the only hard part."
Levin can be contacted at 310 497 8547, and is almost as funny on the phone as he is in his blog. Well, almost. He does thank both, he means all of his readers, for their continuing support.

In fact this really is the funniest blog in America. And you are the funniest, wittiest, eruditest, handsomest, brilliantest and most awesomest blogger in the cosmos. And I would say that even if you weren't my brother.
