Thanks to the Pacific Sun for shining a light on a new satirical website called Marin Lately.
Marin Lately describes itself as a unserious publication with a provincial focus and limited ambitions. The site proclaims, “We are controlled by shadowy interests and thus unable to disclose any additional information.”
