The Onion Isn’t Dead

My gratitude to The Onion for what it published after September 11th deserves a seperate entry, and it will get it. I was just a bit let-down by it’s recent editions. Turns out they haven’t been rethinking themselves into submission, they’ve just been saving it up.

A sampling of headlines from this week’s edition:

Bush Bravely Leads 3rd Infantry Into Battle

U.S. Forms Own U.N.

Local Mom Whips Up Some Of Her Famous War Pie

Dead Iraqi Would Have Loved Democracy

New Bomb Capable Of Creating 1,500 New Terrorists In Single Blast

U.S. Draws Up Plan For Post-War Transitional Dictatorship In Iraq

And the current Point-Counterpoint:

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism

vs.

No It Won’t

Could this list be any longer. Ah, sweet Onion.
