Bush and Washington's neoconservatives to the danger of global warming caused by bovine methane emissions. In "Is That True or Did You Make It Up? Cosmic Ruminations from Bill Stockton's Satirium.com," the author has assembled the funniest articles from his satirical cyber-hangout, www.satirium.com, including:

The author, an editor at "The New York Times" for two decades, learned the hard way that nothing is ever what it seems.
