Though it's pretty fucking hilarious most of the time, the current edition of The Onion is especially fucking hilarious. I just thought you all might like to know.

It's odd... a lot of it is really bitingly funny, and other parts are really quite touching. I was waiting for a joke at the end of the "Flag cake" story, but none came. It was really quite sweet.

That said, the "Bush Sr apologises to Bush Jr" story is a cack.

Oh... wow...

I just read the "God Angrily Clarifies 'Don't Kill' Rule" article... My God, that was beautiful...

Well, the cake-baking one is really a very dry commentary on the way that mid-west America deals with crises. They bake cakes. Normally, it's a lot clearer and easier to kind of point and laugh at the people in the Onion's stories, but in this case we *all* feel that helplessness.

In other Onion stories, like the one in an older issue about the guy who won't shut up about how he gave up watching TV and is glad because his life is so much richer, we identify with the people around the main character. In this one, everyone is at a loss for something to do.

i read the onion yesterday morning and was just blown away by how they managed to toe the line between funny and tasteless. while the "terrorists in hell" story is the funniest (and probably most onionesque), the "jerry bruckheimer movie" story had the most subdued feel to it--especially the end.

i actually printed the whole fucking issue.

oh jeez...
is it selfish to want to have the composure to not choke back sobs/tears every time someone says something poignant about the eleventh?
to borrow a quote, "when will the hurting stop?"

when my roommate isn't trying to sleep, i also will print out the onion.
