These might as well be a two-parter. Clinton Declares Self President-For-Life (2000) | Bill Clinton: 'Screw it, I'm Running for President' (2008) Non-politically though, I'm partial to this one: Even CEO can't figure out how RadioShack stays in business.

The Onion really is hilarious. But sometimes it just gets really depressing and I have to stop. Like with this editorial, "There was definitely a part during that stoning where we all thought, "Is this weird?" http://www.theonion.com/articles/there-was-definitely-a-point-during-that-stoning-w,18165/ Or the "I Am So Starving Vs. I Am So Starving" one. http://www.theonion.com/articles/i-am-so-starving-vs-i-am-so-starving,11541/ I swear. The writers for that paper should get some sort of award.

http://www.theonion.com/articles/action-figure-fights-on-despite-loss-of-dragon-swo,2653/ My favourite quote : - "I don't have my sword, but I still have my karate," announced Huntarr, who hails from the deepest tracts of the Amazon jungle, yet is somehow versed in Eastern martial arts. All the 9/11 articles are top notch, like the tv guide Discovery channel line up "What it was like to live a week ago"

As a Penn State Alum who has been ashamed in recent months, I enjoyed The Onion's handling of Joe Paterno, especially Jerry Sandusky: I’ll Never Forget All The Things Joe Paterno Did For Me.quote:"I had years of great times at Penn State," Sandusky said. "Years and years of great times. And I owe every minute to Joe Paterno." Even the day news of Paterno's death broke, The Onion pulled no punches:
