As we learned yesterday, the floodgates have been pushed wide open for NY Times parodies. But every Samwise Gamgee worth his weight in silver pennies knows the Times is chockfull of hilarity! However, this has got to be the best NY Times parody we've seen yet: The Galactic Empire Times did a meticulous spoof of the Times' article on the killing of Osama bin Laden: “The death of [Obi-Wan] Kenobi marks the most significant achievement to date in our empire’s effort to defeat the rebel alliance. But his death does not mark the end of our effort. There’s no doubt that the rebellion will continue to pursue attacks against us."

Deputy Mayor Not Too Thrilled His Boss Is "Papa Smurf"
Deputy Mayor Kevin Sheekey (who also spent last year working on Bloomberg's possible presidential run) isn't that happy with The New Yorker's revelation that young mayors like Newark's Cory Booker and DC's Adrian Fenty apparently call Mayor Bloomberg "Papa Smurf." He Tweeted, "Mayors, can we go w/ @mikebloomberg as Obi Wan?" (and linked to a Washington City Paper post about what Smurf persona fit Fenty best). Clearly Star Wars is big in the Bloomberg administration—Deputy Mayor Ed Sklyer is a huge fan, too! However, @mikebloomberg himself has not commented on the Papa Smurf nickname. [Via PolitickerNY]
