    Yeah, that one was great. Bush's inauguration speech: "Our long national nightmare of peace and prosperity is finally over!"

    An archived copy. I don't see why it's so offensive. God Angrily Clarifies 'Don't Kill' Rule is particularly good.

    all those conservatives that BS about 'liberal media', but are convinced Fox News is without bias...


    I find it extremely humorous that the same network that delivers Fox News also delivers 'The Simpsons', 'Family Guy', and that new show about the CIA Dad, with the Extra-Terrestrial live-in etc...

    The original creators/writers of the Onion sold it off a long time ago. The guy who started it all is now the publisher of The Stranger ( http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/Home/ ), a highly regarded, alternative newspaper for the Seattle area. (He's the brother of a very good friend of mine)

    ... one of the flash-based headlines you're not seeing if you don't have flash says:

    Your browser does not support ambient alpha-wave memestreams. Concentrate here to upgrade.


    Which leads me to think that the Onion is perfectly well aware of the issue...
