And they're always going on about how the West won't take them seriously.

Why would the taxpayer put up with this extravagancy? You say there will be corporate hospitality suites? Nevermind.

Retractable roof? Who decides when it's too hot to keep it open. Men can just take off their shirts but should a femminist try this, it's off to jail!

Sounds like a lot of damage control being exercised to wipe the Egg Foo Yung off of one's face. The satirists at the Onion probably haven't stopped laughing all day!

"According to congressional workers, the Onion is a publication that never ceases making up false reports," the Evening News said. Just now figured that out, huh?

Is that their way of saying "we were too stupid to double-check our source." Instead, they blame their own negligence on others.

Hola amigos! Speaking of Chinese newspapers, I was chowing down on some chinese food just the other night. I always get a hankering for some chinese food when I smoke a lot of weed. Anyhow, I was listening to an old Bachman Turner Overdrive album and decided to play it backwards. Wouldn't you know, they was talking about how the Chinese were going to take over the U.S. and move into Washington. So the Chinese must have been bumming when they thought the Capitol building might be moved without their permission. That album came out, like 20 years ago, so they have evidently been planning this for a long time. Anyway, that explains all the chinese restaurants opening up in my area. They are getting ready to move here and they just want to make sure there are plenty of places for them to eat. Anyway, it don't really matter much to me, just so long as I have a decent set of wheels to tool around in and plenty of weed. Party on dudes!

Makes you wonder what other stories from the Onion they might've really believed in the past.
