Funny how all the "Chicken Littles" come out of the woodwork every time

a Republican gets elected President. Yeah, I know, "The sky is

dire predictions never come to pass, but it doesn't stop them from
repeating them ad nausem. Some people really need to get a life.


Funny these all came about.

You do realize that the Onion is a satirical paper produced in Berkeley,
Ca.

It may have some connection to Berkeley now but The Onion originated in
Chicago and spread from here to other cities in the Midwest before making
its way to the coasts. I routinely read printed versions of The Onion long
before the internet was available to common citizen.

Chicago is a native American word that means 'the onion,' or more
specifically, 'the wild onion.'

And no. It is not a source of reliable information. It's satire at its
best. At least it used to be. It's just silly nowadays. It used to be you
could be half way through reading an article before realizing it wasn't an
actual news column.

(and has been since, , do you not? If not, I suggest that you reread
the articles with that in mind. Look at the front page and you may
notice Kerry arresting Bin Laden, and the "Nations' Wildlife Fleeing to
Canada."
