"fuck everything"?
That's a sentiment I can agree with on at least 2 levels.

Granted, I sometimes feel like I follow U.S. politics more closely than a Canadian ought to. I can try to convince myself that it's because what happens down there has a relatively large impact up here, or that political trends in the States have a tendency to waft across the 49th, but really it's because of gems like this statement regarding the Democrats' war-spending bills and the veto at President Bush's disposal:
"It's going to be like the government shutdowns" of 1995 and 1996, predicted Rep. Jack Kingston (R-Ga.). "The Democrats' honeymoon is fixing to end. It's going to explode like an IED."
Because, you know, IEDs explode differently than regular bombs; a difference that is important to understand. It's not a cynical analogy designed to conflate the Democrats' attempts to curtail Bush's carte blanche in Iraq with "losing" the war, it's just how people talk. People like these budding essayists.

I thought this was a pretty good April Fools Day joke... which I admittedly believed when I read the headline.
Ben Mulroney to run in Papineau for Conservatives
Which, even if you don't follow Canadian politics, was pretty funny.

nice try, Albert, by the way.
Nothing beats this though:
1 April 2003, twelve days after the start of "Operation Iraqui Freedom," the U.S. invasion of Iraq, the Iraqi ambassador to Russia, Abbas Khalaf Kunfuth, stepped before a group of international reporters and read from what he claimed was a Reuters news bulletin. "The Americans have accidentally fired a nuclear missile into British forces, killing seven." The room fell into stunned silence; then Kunfuth shouted, "April Fools!"
