Tip for best answer: M$1.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Keep in mind the following article was written on January 17, 2001, a few days BEFORE George W. Bush's first inauguration.

"Bush: 'Our Long National Nightmare Of Peace And Prosperity Is Finally Over'"

http://www.theonion.com/content/node/28784

I just read it again, and it's somehow more insanely accurate than it was four years ago. It's so weird.

This is a recent one, but it still gave me a chuckle:

Pretty much everything they do on the subject of Dick Cheney is pure gold. Here's my all-time fave, all the way from 2004:

"Cheney Vows to Attack U.S. if Kerry Elected"

http://www.theonion.com/content/node/30742

Also, if you're just talking pure headline, this one's got to be among the greatest:

"Congress Debates Coolness Of Rush"

True dat. This one (as many of them do) made my jaw drop with their oh-no-they-didn'tness.

My favorite:

http://www.theonion.com/content/news_briefs/u_s_advises_allies_not_to

Almost not satire.
