What more do you need to know? The Onion takes us into their land of comedy that unfortunately is all too real.

Still the best news source in the world

With the poor quality of our mass media right now, the Onion is the closest thing to the truth available and this volume is no exception. Whether as a reaction to this president or not, the Onion has been getting better every year that Bush Jr. has been in the White House. These volumes will all be classics in short order.

Brings Tears to the Eyes

If there's something funnier or more insightful than The Onion in all of America, feel free to tell me. Sometimes I don't laugh out loud; instead, I sort of squeak and do the "quiet" laugh where you laugh so hard you don't make a sound. The writers of The Onion are funnier than all the writers of the Simpsons and The Family Guy combined. Furthermore, so much of the humor is dependent upon real truths in America. One joke from the last book pointed out how America's complete discourse now takes the sole form of a product review, and here I am, doing just that, probably recommending this book to people who already love it anyway. I frequently pass Onion articles out to the classes I teach, but scarily enough, my students always believe the headlines. Some of my classes are still awaiting Starbucks' phase two, complete with tanks and industrial-sized first aid kits. So funny I really can't believe it sometimes. Highly, highly recommended. People who don't laugh at the Onion truly lack any imagination or a sense of humor and should stick with movies like Shrek and humor books like Garfield.
