Is it just me, or does this headline really belong in The Onion?

"Poll: Nation split on Bush as uniter or divider"

CNN is worthless as usual.

That is Onion-esque...I get all my news from there

CNN isn't useless; they're just wallflowers compared to the blowhards at Fox (you get the feeling that the CNN folks were nerds bullied at school by the Fox News guys) :shrug:

The best news comes from the internet. Yahoo, democraticunderground.com, and freerepublic.com

Hey, I've done articles for DU in the past!....oh, you're being sarcastic :cry:

I write stuff for a site called Faux Newz that's finally been updated after weeks now. On occasion they screw up the parts where there are supposed to be quotation marks, but all in all it's a good gig

I'm actually not being sarcastic. There's some good stuff on du.com, no matter how false sometimes it is! I'm a member of du and just lurk there for fun.

You ever read anything of mine?(the free-lancing author asked expectantly, unaware that no one in the history of the Internet had ever actually read his material, much less published it. In fact, he was a failure and he didn't know it, much like William Hung) :D

It's my name, naturally (I'm not afraid!...just a little), but I'll provide some links to the four things I got on there just as soon as I paste something I just wrote for the fake news people :nod:

You'll know the world is screwed when FOX news is the best comedy station and The Simpsons provides the most critical analysis of current affairs :idea:
