The New Orleans Levee

This paper is pretty spectacular. It appeared post-​storm, and has gotten increasingly more entertaining with every issue. However, sometimes I really do wonder if what they’re reporting is real or not (it never is). I guess that just goes to show how surreal life can be in New Orleans sometimes. The Levee doesn’t even have to try to write jokes half the time. The city, particularly our elected officials, do most of the work for them. However, at least someone is recording what goes on down here. Perhaps someday they’ll be as big and hilarious as The Onion. In the meantime, I hope they keep doing what they’re doing.

New Orleans’ own satirical paper. The quality is not anywhere close to The Onion, but the jokes are our own and wouldn’t make a lick of sense to an outsider. For that, I pick it up whenever I see a new one. It does creep me out, however, that some shadowy Libertarian organization keeps buying full page ads inside it.
Also, the name of their website (nolevee) is hilarious, as is their tagline, «we don’t hold anything back.»
Keep me laughing, Levee Staff!
