    When insanity reigns, parody doesn't stand a chance.

    The trouble with Onion headlines is that they have the disturbing habit of appearing in the "serious" news a few weeks or months later. *sigh*

    U.S. forms its own U.N.

    I like the US-UN story. I wonder if the new US-UN building will be a location site for a remake of "North by Northwest."

    the "what do you think about the war" page has to be the absolute greatest.

    The Onion almost always hits the mark. That's the great thing about humor, often times the absurd has an air of truth to it. My favorite comment from the what do you think about the Iraq crisis? (This was probably about 5 weeks back...)

    "Mr. President Bush, when even the Germans don't want to go to war, get the f***ing clue."
