This isn’t serious, is it? Our government is SATIRE. There should be plenty to write about. If it is true, I’ll miss them.

It's true. They are closing.

Truth is stranger than fractious laughter.

Funny! Sad but true. It’s getting harder to decide when the sarcasm tag is needed here on FR as well.

We live in nutty times.

Lol, overtaken by events. It is hard to top what is coming out of the WH these days with the MSM being the straight man.

Unfortunately, the current flock of flocked foaming flecks in Washington feel that satirical writ is a suggestion or policy idea.

Sounds like the Obama Administration is getting its marching orders from internal Onion emails.

Have you heard about the anti-tea party democrat group...It is the Tax and Spend Party. Advocating higher Tax and More spending. The rallies feature welfare queens with signs like”Fork it over you racist pigs” and “Tax them now”.

I'd like to tell myself this is a BAD, BAD DREAM and I'll wake up with things back to normal. Each time, I think it can't get worse, and it does. We are on the brink of something VERY UGLY and the road back to normalcy ... might be too difficult ... . We are becoming another Argentina with the goal being another Zimbabwe.

LA Times: Why cleaner air could speed global warming

And you ask why The Onion is closing. HA!

I am deeply saddened to read of the demise of The Onion; but, since I read it on the interwebs, it must be true.

:-(

This would be the perfect time to take The Onion to “mainstream” news reporting. It would be a seamless transition.

As Hunter S. Thompson once said: “When the going gets weird, the weird turn Pro”. Washington, D.C. today is Alice’s Wonderland, where up is down and black is white and the Red Queen Pelosi is off with her head.

Hey, The Onion could always start publishing some REAL news, since no one in the MSM seems to be doing it.
