I get to be as self-indulgent as I want without wasting anyone's time. Guilt-free solipsism -- excellent!

Well, The Onion is back, and I'm glad. There was some discussion as to whether their brand of humor even works in a post-WTC world, but I was exhilarated reading their headlines this week.

To paraphrase Nelson Muntz, good satire is "funny 'cos it's true"; and the slightly uncomfortable truths of this week's issue help to put things into perspective. A sampling:

Hugging Up 76,000%
American Life Turns Into Bad Jerry Bruckheimer Movie
Rest Of Country Temporarily Feels Deep Affection For New York
Jerry Falwell: Is That Guy A Dick Or What?

And the article God Angrily Clarifies "Don't Kill" Rule is almost moving!

It's not for everyone, but it made me feel better. We have to recover our sense of humor, and this is a start.
