I am afraid for the Onion

It is really hard doing satire in today's crazy world

1. You had me worried there for a minute!

I understand how hard it is to out-crazy the craziest in this country, but they do a pretty good job.

In 2017, the Ringling Bros. circus closed down, since it was impossible to compete with the tRump circus.

3. Sorry

I love good satire. It is really hard at time to tell satire from the real world

8. You had me worried as well.

2. It's pretty hard to beat the real story of the FAA planning to shut down an airport for a week

because CPB shot down a party balloon with a drone and forgot to tell them. Too bad for The Onion; these days the truth really is stranger and stupider than fiction.

5. When Schwarzenegger won the election to become governor of California, back in the early 2000s, the onion just ran the

story straight.

6. I laughed back then and laughed again just now. Remember the Onion relies on people with a sense of humor.

They'll be fine as long as long as we are.
