And just like that he's not a fun flop anymore. It's like when they show what Trump would look like if he had let his hair be natural.

Honestly seeing BoJo like that is doing me head in.

I have been grossly misinformed about witches.
For some reason, the writers at the Onion seem to love the town of Schaumburg, IL, a place inexorably plagued by the modern world's meaningless, consumer-focused culture and the despair that comes hand in hand with it. Here's a sampling of the Onion's reporting from Schaumburg:

Schaumburg Man Dimly Aware Of Shadowy, Non-Schaumburg World Out There
World-Weary Sigh Emanates From Next Bathroom Stall
Area Father Remembers When He Thought Killing Family, Self Was Crazy
National Museum Of The Middle Class Opens In Schaumburg, IL
Existentialist Firefighter Delays 3 Deaths
U.S. Populace Lurches Methodically Through The Motions For Yet Another Day
Newborn Loses Faith In Humanity After Record 6 Days

The Onion's offices are located in Chicago, so it's a town that they'd be familiar with. Maybe someone higher up lives there?
