Double wow!  I missed the byline and got all the way to the end before realizing who the author was.

nothing in the onion is "for real" -- that's why it's the onion.  I'm betting she doesn't have another son.

BTW, maybe we should change the name of this thread to "Not-So-Lovely Rita"?

Not to make light of other's misfortune, y'understand, but:  earlier on CNN they did a report on Katrina refugees who are trying to move back to New Orleans, only to find that "rents have doubled and in some cases tripled" in their absence. And I thought, Damn, That's Harsh.

But then they interviewed a woman and her daughter who were outraged that the 3-bedroom apartment they looked at had been jacked up to the unbelievable price of... $1250 a month.

Hey Gaz -- still thinking about moving? :wink:
