The best headline they ever did was "Black Man Asks Nation For Change" during the 2008 US Presidential Election cycle.

"Black Man Given Nation's Worst Job" ranks pretty high up there, too.

As far as videos go, my favorite is Joad Cressbeckler's stance on GM foods.

Bro, You're A God Among Bros

The staggering number of puns gets me every time.

Bonus article reading

I get the feeling they took this one and ran with it just to get puns out of their system for a while. I was able to keep a straight face right up until "Broseidon, lord of the brocean."

I love those last sentence of the article zingers.

I'm really not sure where The Onion got that line from though, because there's not a Republican I know who didn't go absolutely gaga over Sarah Palin.

Senate Ethics Committee To Meet In New Ethics Committee Mansion

The Onion posted:

The thorny question of lobbyist gift-giving is posed in the Evidence Wing, where lobbyists have voluntarily come forward with hundreds of millions of dollars in ethics-violation-related evidence, including ermine coats, Aston Martin sports cars, and attaché cases filled with cash.
