Tribute to the Onion: 21 Stinking Years

We often start or conclude our posts with something like “We couldn’t make this up if we tried,” and believe me we couldn’t.  So, I think it’s only fitting that we recognize an organization that has been making stuff up for 21 years and doing it with flair.  And no, I don’t mean FOX News.

As real newspapers are grudgingly acknowledging, The Onion is celebrating its 21st anniversary with a new book, featuring the fake newspaper’s front pages.  Perhaps all the news coverage from the Mainstream Media is just a ploy.  They are giving away The Onion‘s key trade secret — write the headlines first!
