Thursday Onion Blogging

Ooh, a blogging thingy on the Onion website. Maybe the middle-aged slackers who run washingtonpost.com will start paying attention, and do as the Onionists do:

Bush: Maybe U.S. Military ‘Just Not Very Good’

WASHINGTON, DC —"Maybe our men and women overseas just aren’t what they’re cracked up to be," said the President Bush of the thorough lack of quality in personnel.

The point of the article is, of course, that a critical component of the Bush world view is that Bush can’t be wrong. Bush gets his wisdom from his gut, and his gut gets it from an omniscient Judeo-Christian being, with a lesser emphasis on the Judeo part.

I also wanted to mention that the Onion now distributes itself for free on the streets of downtown DC is likely to have an effect on the nature of our political discourse. It showed up in the spring, roughly at the same time Politico showed up. The cause and effect of that timing is beyond the abilities of this hippopotamus to explain.
