"The Daily Blurbs" is a spoof news blog, aiming to deliver the news the other publications just won't tell you about. With daily updates, "The Daily Blurbs" offers fresh, topical news straight off the presses.

That's not bad, that. I like the bible being released'to much acclaim' Laughing out loud Perhaps you could quote a review from P. Pilot or something.
I've knackered my funny bone writing over the last couple of days so I'm a bit jaded, but I guess the only critism I could give would be that sometimes it seems quite wordy for the amount of jokes in there. I've read so much spoof news that I understand how difficult it can be to be original and I almost get a sense that you are concentrating on being like the other spoof news sites when really the goal is to sound like the real news. i.e.

"The research, carried out by a well-known University department, took over five years of research and has caused a stir in academic circles. The research paper, submitted under the title of Middle Class Noises"

Would the bbc leave out the name of the well known university as part of a factual report? (unless that was part of the joke I didn't get). Good opportunity to inject some reality into your surrealness to give it max spoof effect.
Otherwise good shit. Have you sent anything off to the bigger spoof sites?
