Maddox has always built his humorous side around being both ridiculous and obnoxious at the same time. These two qualities have not always shown themselves in equal qualities, however, so often Maddox's work tends towards being scattershot, with some readable articles and some that are incredibly tedious.



Thankfully, his article on swine flu is better than he has written in several years. It's still not up to the par of his best early work, and Maddox still isn't the wittiest or the most literate of satirists, but he doesn't have to be. Building off a healthy cynicism of the world's latest health scare, Maddox keeps his momentum till the end.

Worth a long look.
