Best Satire Article of All Time: WSJ Supreme Court Cafeteria

All,

I was on the WSJ today, and found what I find to be the funniest satire article I can remember reading.

Link is here for those of you with a WSJ subscription.

Some quotes include

Unlike the Supreme Court itself, which meets a floor above, the cafeteria committee operates by consensus, with nary a dissent noted, former members say. In an otherwise hierarchical institution, it represents an oasis of egalitarianism. “We’re all equal when we’re having lunch,” says Justice Samuel Alito, who served from 2006 to 2009.
“This food should be unconstitutional,” the paper said, citing a “falling-apart mushy” veggie burger and a salmon rice bowl that “bears no resemblance to any salmon I’ve tasted before.”
Tradition dictates that each newcomer to the nation’s highest tribunal must serve on the committee that oversees the court’s cafeteria, a 185-seat facility open to the public on the building’s ground floor.

It isn’t a job that justices relish.

I think this may be the funniest satire article I have seen in a long time.

Want to know what others think, and if you have any funny satire articles as well.

Best,

-Wu
