I love the The Onion!

It is truly God's gift to mankind.

President Urges Calm, Restraint Among Nation's Ballad Singers

WASHINGTON, DC— In the wake of the recent national tragedy, President Bush is urging Mariah Carey, Michael Jackson, and other singers to resist the urge to record mawkish, insipid all-star tribute ballads. "To America's recording artists, I just want to say, please, there has already been enough suffering," Bush said. "The last thing we need right now is a soaring Barbra Streisand-Brian McKnight duet titled 'One For All.'" Reports that the FBI had confiscated several notebooks and audio tapes from Diane Warren's home could not be confirmed as of press time.

I Agree...

If you have a chance, go to the Onion and read the article titled sth like "American Life Turns into Bad Jerry Bruckheimer Movie" or something like that. It's an excellent piece - and not just from the point of view of satire.

It's my job to share the Onion with as many people as possible.

This was excellent... reminds me that I should read The Onion more. :)

There's a group here at U of Michigan that has an Onion-like ode to the Michigan Daily every few weeks called the Every Three Weekly that is a similar look at current events (and campus politics). Check out the top story (I like the quote from the provost), and there's also a great bit on Mariah Carey in the 'In the News' section...
