You read the onion, don't you? it's always funny, but there are some weeks when the humor is hardly laughable. they seem to be on a political mission this week, nailing the Bush administration for it's laziness and stupidity. The headlines,
This week's guest president: Tom Hanks (because George Bush is on vacation again), or Sept 11 Could Not Have Been Prevented Without Accruing a lot of Overtime read with too much truth in them. There's even a story about Bush trying to take back his "Bring it On" comment. I don't remember the Onion ever being this sharp, but it's certainly a good thing. I wonder what other people who read it will think. One thing I can't grasp about politics is the mind of the average American. They seem so dense to anything new, so slow to grasp what's going on, and wildly attracted to what doesn't matter. When my friends in the Air Force read this week's issue, will they get what's going on, willl they understand? i don't know. i can't laugh this week, the irony is too obvious, too cruel.
