About the Bugle
The Batshit Bugle is the proud publisher of satirical financial, money and investing news. Each story is inspired by true, often ridiculous, real world events.
The Batshit Bugle is published daily at Batshit.com. Our staff writers create funny, satirical financial news stories, parody reviews, and absurdist commentary on culture, politics, business, and everyday life. We also maintain a curated novelty gift shop.
What We Mean by "Satire"
Every article on The Batshit Bugle is invented for comedic effect. Names, quotes, events, corporations, and government agencies referenced in our stories are fictional unless otherwise stated. We do not report real news, and nothing here should be interpreted as factual reporting.
Debt While You Read
Every story on the Batshit Bugle carries a small meter that estimates how much of the U.S. national debt accrues while you read it. The estimate comes from the U.S. Treasury's own Debt to the Penny figures, applied to the article's reading time. It is a rough average, not a live measurement.
Unlike almost everything else on this site, the debt it counts is genuinely there! Read the full explainer: The U.S. National Debt, Explained.
