Political Staples

I confess that I had never heard of Frank Magazine until this morning but the new and improved version could be interesting.

Frank magazine, the pulp tabloid notorious for its lascivious insider gossip, spotty scoops, satire and coarse political commentary, is to start up again on-line in September.
"It's a good time to be in the satire business," said Michael Bate, Frank's publisher, citing political upsets such as the defection of Belinda Stronach to the federal Liberals, and the Gomery inquiry into the sponsorship scandal. "We've been giving the politicians a free ride."
A teaser website at http://www.efrank.ca style="font-size:85%;">, put up about a week ago, depicts a chainsaw cutting a Pinocchio-style nose from the face of Prime Minister Paul Martin; a caption boasts that the new Frank will be "sharper than ever."
