From here



President Bush sits at his desk in the Oval Office, where he received messages from an intercom voice identifying itself as "God" and thought to have been Vice President Cheney.


Heh. I'd always wondered how that cunning old coot did it. If only he hadn't gone fishing in late August. The ol'devil.

The scariest part is that it's close enough to believable that I didn't immediately know it was a joke. :eek:

Satire is definitely redundant in the New American Century.

The Onion is in fact "America's Finest News Source." Here in Milwaukee, Wisconsin it's always been free; there are Onion boxes on streetcorners all over the place, and you can find stacks of it just about everywhere, including the entrance to the central public library.

I'm surprised that complaints haven't had it removed from there, but I guess that says something about our progressive heritage. Not too long ago this city was run by socialists. Either that or people are just too drunk to notice.

I used to read The Onion at the bar every week when I lived in Chicago, and it was freely available at a couple other of my daily stops. I found it so funny to see a newspaper sitting out in a public place with stories like Nation's Porn Stars Demand to be Fucked Harder right out there in front of god and everybody. :giggle:

I never knew the onion had a print edition. I just associate it with the web...
