The Onion

I have my homepage at work set on Yahoo, with updated news headlines on it. I have one section set for The Onion. I used to read that site all the time but rarely do now, only if one of the headlines catch my eye. Today they all did.

1. Mr. Special Foreign Man Won't Read Anything Not Written in His Language

The entire article is interviews with people who have casual dealings with the Greek man, and them complaining that he will only read Greek language newspapers and books. Classic.

2. New "Anti Abortion Pill" Kills Mother, Leaves Fetus Alive

The first paragraph: Pro-life advocates celebrated approval of the new anti-abortion drug UR-86 by the Food and Drug Administration Tuesday, calling it a "safe and effective method" for terminating pregnant women while leaving their unborn children unharmed.

**You know I have to have something completely politically incorrect, just to stir the rampant frenzied emotions of anyone who might stumble across this site.

3. Hormel Makes Compelling Case for Man's Last $2.39
