    Wisconsin Democrats are utterly apoplectic about their big loss Tuesday--the first time in American history that a gubernatorial recall effort has failed.

    The Borowitz Report has a tongue-in-cheek analysis of the upshot.

    Here is a snippett:

    "OTTAWA (The Borowitz Report) – The Canadian coast guard was on alert today, preparing for what it fears could be a massive invasion of boat people from Wisconsin.

    "Conor McGlindon, commander of the Royal Canadian Mounted Coast Guard (RCMCG), said that satellite photos had revealed a 'substantial flotilla' in the making, as Wisconsinites prepared to flee their state for their neighbor to the North."

    And a link to the entire article: http://www.borowitzreport.com/2012/06/05/canada-bracing-for-wisconsin-boat-people/

    Why does this site look like a joke site?

    This "report" was a joke.

    Or were you (somehow) unsure of that?

    Well it kind of confused me. If it was a joke, why wasn't it in the humor and satire section?

    The Borowitz Report is a comedy site with parodies on current events.

    I'm very well aware of that. i'm asking why though it's in the wrong section.
