Is it just me, or has The Onion just gotten angrier and angrier at Bush as of late?
Edited on Thu Jan-22-09 03:32 PM by Liberal_Lurker
I checked it out today and noticed this article: Bush Dies Peacefully In His Sleep (http://www.theonion.com/content/news_briefs/bush_dies_peacefully_in_his). It follows on the heels of Spider Eggs Hatch in Bush's Brain (http://www.theonion.com/content/news_briefs/spider_eggs_hatch_in_bushs). I mean, I'm not terribly fond of the guy either, but I'm kind of disturbed by The Onion as of late. Any thoughts?

3. Those particular articles seem more morbid than funny.
But I have to admit that I got a wicked big smile on my face when I imagined spiders crawling out of Bush's tear ducts.

4. They've had an endless string of absurd calamities happen to Bush,
each ending with him "resting comfortably in Bethesda Naval Hospital." I've found most of them funny, but the last one kind of struck me the wrong way. I mean, I didn't really find anything amusing in their depiction of him dying in his sleep. It was just...strange, and a little bit offputting.

5. LOL
Plans for Bush's funeral have been postponed indefinitely following an unexpected incident in which the president's corpse was sucked through an Air Force One jet engine.
:rofl:
