Nation Annoyed About Having To Spend Long Weekend Away From Work

Between the Lines
I could not have written it better myself! Well now, really I could have, only I would have cited a slightly different list of examples throughout my prose.
You certainly get the point of this timely article in The Onion, I trust, as it shines brightly through the generous supply of dry humor and cynicism that makes for a fantastic satirical “news” article. In any case, this has to be the most “unique” of all the varied assessments I’ve read of President Obama’s SOTU speech this week.
Isn’t satire a wonderful thing? There’s always some truth between the lines, which makes it all the funnier.
And that’s my opinion, of course.
The Satirical Point of View
Among all else, I’m always one for a healthy dose of satire, on just about any topic under the stars. As such, as an addendum to my entry yesterday regarding DADT, I’m now happy to present the satirical bend on the topic.
The Onion is absolutely fantastic and has been so for years. I highly recommend it as one of your regular news sources, if for nothing else than to consider an issue from its humorous point of view. Just don’t make the mistake that one Chinese journalist did a few years back, of reporting an Onion story as fact.
In any case, satirical news lives and must live, on anything and everything! And that’s my opinion.
