Everything is Highlighted (Hurting 2), Wednesday, 15 October 2008 02:20 (fifteen years ago) link

This is my favorite this week.

Witnesses said they first detected a difference in McCain's demeanor yesterday, when he paused suddenly in the middle of a speech about Obama's tax policies, shook his head and demanded to know what year it was. Others were reportedly confused when McCain abruptly left the stage to find a mirror and softly touched his face while whispering to himself, "Oh, boy. Who am I this time?"

Ever notice how if you read too much Onion at once, actual news starts to resemble it more and more?

Blagojevich Just Getting Started

January 14, 2009 | Issue 45•03

SPRINGFIELD, IL—Hoo, boy, if you thought Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich had finished soliciting bribes from state officials, shamelessly defying federal investigators, and generally acting like a megalomaniacal lunatic, you'd better think again. The crazy bastard, sources confirmed Monday, is just getting warmed up. "I will not relinquish my position as governor, and I will continue to fight these outrageous allegations," Blagojevich said Tuesday, referring to the multiple counts of fraud and extortion being leveled against him, and hinting at a range of other insanely illegal activities you wouldn't believe if he told you. "I know the good people of the state of Illinois support my complete and total exoneration, and look forward to my possible 2016 presidential bid." As of press time, no one could believe the stones on this guy.

Funny as the Japanese girl story is, the merciless dissection of middle-aged losers makes me die a little bit inside.

"It's not uncommon for Asian girls to be fascinated with these types of men," said Dr. Yasuhara, who found in a recent survey that three out of 10 Japanese teenage girls list Paul Giamatti as the most attractive American celebrity.

Capitaine Jay Vee, Thursday, 5 March 2009 02:22 (fifteen years ago) link

I guess it's not online, but I lol'd like a nut reading the print edition I picked up at the train station that had the headline, "Sasha Obama Keeps Seeing Creepy Bush Twins While Riding Tricycle Through House."

kenan, Thursday, 5 March 2009 02:24 (fifteen years ago) link

Whith a shopped pic of the twins in knee-high socks, with the caption, "The ghostly former first daughters, shortly after a White House elevator reportedly overflowed with cherry daiquiri."

"Charles sure likes to bang on that madness drum," fellow school board member Danielle Kolker said. "I'm not totally sold on his plan to let gibbering, half-formed creatures dripping with ichor feed off the flesh and fear of our students.
