The
Onion's brand of scathing, nothing-is-sacred satire
(often on controversial subjects) isn't everyone's cup of
tea--perhaps now in particular. Yet, to judge from its position

Dispatches from the
Tenth Circle: The Best of the Onion is helping a
lot of people laugh, with articles like "New Starbucks Opens in
Rest Room of Existing Starbucks" and much, much
worse.
