Sheryl Crow Unsuccessful; War On Iraq Begins
WASHINGTON, DC—In spite of recording artist Sheryl Crow's strong protestations, including the wearing of a "No War" guitar strap, the U.S. went to war with Iraq last week. "Making the decision to go to war is never easy, but it's that much harder when you know Sheryl Crow disapproves," White House press secretary Ari Fleischer said at a press conference Monday. "It is this administration's sincerest hope that it can one day regain the support and trust of the woman behind such hits as 'All I Wanna Do' and 'Soak Up The Sun.'" Fleischer issued similar apologies to Martin Sheen, Janeane Garofalo, and Nelly.

U.S. Continues Proud Tradition Of Diversity On Front Lines
CAMP COYOTE, KUWAIT—With blacks and Hispanics comprising more than 60 percent of the Army's ground forces in Iraq, the U.S. military is continuing its long, proud tradition of multiculturalism on the front lines of war. "Though racism and discrimination remain problems in society at large, in the military—especially in the lower ranks where you find the cannon fodder—a spirit of inclusiveness has prevailed for decades," Gen. Jim White said Monday. "When it comes to having your head blown off by enemy fire, America is truly colorblind."

Funny, I failed to find any of those quotes in any of the articles that were linked. Did you all see something that I didn't? Gee I must not be able to read... like you all. I guess it comes from having an American edumacation and not one of those others.

I also guess I don't quite appreciate European humor either.

The quotes are on this page: http://www.theonion.com/onion3911/index.html

European humor? I believe the Onion is based in New York.

My bad, I thought the Onion was based out of England. Thanks for the link, Mark! That's what I wanted. Have a nice day! [img]smile.gif[/img]

For shame on all of you! The Onion is based out of Chicago. It even has its own newstands in print form around town. Why do you think so many of its articles target local Illinois and Indiana areas for interviews, etc.

Now, line up for your for your punitive whackya's [img]graemlins/whackya.gif[/img]
