and speaking of The Onion, someone has compiled The True History of the Bush Years, as chronicled in Onion headlines

just brilliant, and a welcome reinder of what a phenomal job the Onion did immediately following 9/11:

September 26, 2001: American Life Turns Into Bad Jerry Bruckheimer Movie.
September 26, 2001: Hijackers Surprised To Find Selves In Hell.
September 26, 2001: God Angrily Clarifies ‘Don’t Kill’ Rule.
September 26, 2001: Hugging Up 76,000 Percent.
September 26, 2001: Arab-American Third-Grader Returns From Recess Crying, Saying He Didn’t Kill Anyone.
September 26, 2001: Not Knowing What Else To Do, Woman Bakes American-Flag Cake.
September 26, 2001: Bush Sr. Apologizes To Son For Funding Bin Laden In ’80s.
September 26, 2001: Report: Gen X Irony, Cynicism May Be Permanently Obsolete.
September 26, 2001: Jerry Falwell: Is That Guy A Dick Or What?
September 26, 2001: The U.S. Military Is Pondering Its Response Options.
September 26, 2001: U.S. Vows To Defeat Whoever It Is We’re At War With.
September 26, 2001: President Urges Calm, Restraint Among Nation’s Ballad Singers.
October 3, 2001: U.S. Urges Bin Laden To Form Nation It Can Attack.
October 17, 2001: Woman With Sore Throat Thinks It Might Be Anthrax.
October 31, 2001: CIA Admits It’s Good At Overthrowing Stuff, Not So Much The Intelligence.
November 14, 2001: U.S. To Arab World: ‘Stop Hating Us Or Suffer The Consequences’.

ETA: it would be funny if it weren't so sad -- some of Bush's staff were apparently bitching on the plane back to Texas that Obama's Inaugural speech was mean to them!

There's just so much good stuff there, from the very first:
January 26, 2000: Bush Reaches Out To Hispanic Community With Generous Tip.

...to the so-painfully-prescient-it's-not-even-funny-anymore:
January 17, 2001: Bush: ‘Our Long National Nightmare Of Peace And Prosperity Is Finally Over’. (in which they have Bush saying he will definitely find a country to invade, increase military spending 250% and build up a huge national debt)

...to the aftermath of each of the last two elections:
November 10, 2004: Bush Promises To Unite Nation For Real This Time.
November 5, 2008: Black Man Given Nation’s Worst Job.

Very amusing. I can't agree with him (all of the time), but I can understand him.

Polly want a magazine?  ;)

Olbermann showed some clips during his "Oddball" segment, sprinkled liberally with quotes from Monty Python's "Dead Parrot" sketch.

My favorite Onion headline of the week:

http://www.theonion.com/content/news/asian_teen_has_sweaty_middle_aged

That's great.

That's about the 3rd time in the past month or so that St. Louis has been the punchline for something like this.

Not that I strongly disagree or anything, but what happened to picking on Cleveland?

so, Nestle is coming out with caffeinated candy: Butterfinger Buzz, a Butterfinger bar with "as much caffiene as the leading energy drink" (!)

http://www.eatmedaily.com/2009/02/butterfinger-buzz-the-caffeinated-candy-bar-wtf/

Somebody alert Homer Simpson.

Conan had the best line: "it's perfect for fat people who need the extra energy to be able to eat more candy"

"Prickly City" is NTM -- seems like every new comic strip is a cheap knockoff of Doonesbury/Bloom County/Boondocks.
