I see - an acerbic, bitter, sarcastic little pissant of a leftist site - how terribly droll.

 

I've taken the position that reading the Onion makes you more stupid by the paragraph ...

... Frank, put that distribution down

Lander: cool

I've taken the position that reading the Onion makes you more stupid by the paragraph ...

Oh, come on, the Onion is (or maybe was) hilarious! The few I've seen in the last couple years were ho-hum but back in the day (like 92-95 or so) it was hilarious...and I never really thought of it as political, just funny as hell. Maybe it has changed.

it may have been once. but it's a real ****ing riot now

example (I got uncontrollable giggles reading this masterful satire):

Dead Iraqi Would Have Loved Democracy
BAGHDAD, IRAQ--Baghdad resident Taha Sabri, killed Monday in a U.S. air strike on his city, would have loved the eventual liberation of Iraq and establishment of democracy, had he lived to see it, his grieving widow said.
