Almost 21 hours after the Tuesday Night Masacre of May 6, 2008 and the victim has refused medical care although she is still hanging on. Her chances for recovery are decidedly non existant say Dr. Warren Diebold, “Even i can’t pull enough strings to revive this corpse.”

Meanwhile, the victim’s family is cursing the world for not doing enough to support her. One person close to the victim said, “If you just send enough money we could salve her wounds. We also accept major credit cards. I.O.U’s! I.O.U’s work too! We could write you an I.O.U! Want a nice cabinet?

Onlookers looked on in shock.

I love the Onion!

According to Wikipedia, the following Onion stories have been mistaken as genuine around the globe:

• Congress Threatens To Leave D.C. Unless New Capitol Is Built
reported as true in China

• Study: 58 Percent Of U.S. Exercise Televised
reported as true by Deborah Norville

• Harry Potter Books Spark Rise in Satanism Among Children
mass e-mailed as true by concerned Christians

• Child Bankrupts Make-a-Wish Foundation by Wishing for More Wishes
became an internet urban legend

• Sean Penn Demands To Know What Asshole Took SeanPenn@gmail.com
reported as true in Denmark

Indeed. We’re the country that fined one of our networks hundreds of thousands of dollars for an instantaneous flash of Janet Jackson’s breast that nobody actually saw.

i need two groups of people to please explain some things to me

first, the clinton supporters: as it now seems almost impossible for senator clinton to win the nomination, why should a non clinton supporter not believe that everything she does from here on out is only to insure a mccain win so that she can run again in 2012?

second, republicans: after 8 years of failed foreign and domestic policies, how can you guys keep a straight face while saying that a democratic president would be worse for this country than a republican? especially a republican like mccain, who is willing to sell out all of his alledged core values in order to sit in the desk in the oval office?

i currently believe that close to 2/3 of this country dont give two shits about its future.

Not true. Everyone saw it. Not on TV, however. It was so offensive, and every concerned citizen was so outraged that they responsibly looked at repeated replays and still photos on the net afterward to confirm their need to be rightfully indignant.

Saint Augustine Says:

I was doing a little research and ran across this gem:

Between 1940 and 1944 sales rose from $239 million to $835 million. Profits were so high that the company renegotiated its wartime government contracts downward in order to return what it considered to be unpatriotically excessive returns on investment. Following the war, no company was more ready for a boom than Westinghouse Electric.

http://news.pghtech.org/teq/teqstory.cfm?id=1759

Does this mean that today’s military contractors are unpatriotic?

Patriotism is the root of war. All military contractors are patriotic, in fact many support several countries.

No, but I did hear about one of the detainees that went suicide bomber someplace. If you torture them, they may just do anything to get back at us.

Perhaps the majority of the people there rejected Intelligent Design as a scientific theory?

My favorite fact about the country? They speak Karen. :)

McCain…

Rambo like Vietnam flashback causing violent outbursts at those who do not threaten him?
or
Dottering senility causing jokes about bombing other countries and a continuous stream of “I don’t recall” statements?

BOTH?

McCain… He’s like George W. Bush and Ronald Reagan all rolled into one!

Hey, it’s not like this was police state in action, they were beating them for their own protection. Protect and serve.

uncle joe hussein mccarthy Says:

in regards to the police beating in phili, while i do hope a full investigation is done, people need to be aware of a few things

first, just this past saturday, another philly cop was killed on duty

second, these guys were suspects in a shooting and apparently did attempt to allude the police

its unclear by the vid what exactly is going on, on the ground, but i saw the chief’s press conference and they have taken a few of these cops off the streets

and look, its a hell of alot better than what happened to those guys in queens…and those cops got off scott free

Listen up Bub. We Americans are the gold standard for morality. I don’t know how things are in your land, but here in the Homeland we have very high standards. Saying the “B” word just isn’t acceptable around these parts. Sex or the nasty body parts that accompany sex are off limits. That’s just how we “roll.”

Bill Clinton will go down ( no pun intended ) in history as the man who brought shame to our highest office by engaging in sexual shenanegans in the oval ( not oral ) office ( not oriface ).

George Bush will be remembered for going after the 9/11 evil doers. The fact that he is responsible for thousands of innocent people’s deaths will be but a minor footnote next to the fact that he brought honor back to the White House by not being Bill Clinton.

So there! I hope you learned a little something my friend.

Uncle Joe, I don’t know what they might be suspected of but, watch the video. They were not trying to restrain these guys, they were beating the shit out of them.
