With April Fools’ Day comes an onslaught of sometimes hilarious and sometimes pointless jokes online, and this year is no different.

Pennsylvania’s own posted some jokes.

The City of Pittsburgh Republican Committee shouted out Democrat Mayor Ed Gainey and mayoral challenger Corey O’Connor.

Given the state of current world leadership, I think this is as good a year as any to finally retire April Fools Day, on the grounds it's no longer possible to tell what is a joke and what is real.
