Humor in Times of War?
miradu asks: "With the nation in such a serious mood in such dire times, what are we supposed to do for humor? April Fool's Day is just around the corner, but that's only for one day! Sites like The Onion will always be around to poke fun at things, but what are some other smaller sites that are writing some good satire/parodies of the current situations? I need to laugh!"
Get your war on is an instant classic.

We have been working for 3 months on a custom application rollout for a very large client. Coincidentally, it goes live tomorrow at 9am. I feel so bad, I sent out an email just now as I'm double checking everything. It's marked high priority and was sent to the 30 plus people that participated on the project. We have worked 13+ hours a day, every single day, for the past 3 weeks to make sure every thing goes smoothly.
And they will wake up in the morning and read the bright red email that says the server has crashed, all data since 12/02 has been lost because backups went down. We have to redo all graphics, layouts, eps's, data entry, everything people! We are in major trouble! I'm truly sorry for the immense screw up.
It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't shut everything down and cron it to wake up at 8:45am (it goes live at 9am, don't fail me now cron!).
Oh man, I could lose my job over this. Ha ha.
