Oh, God bless the Onion. Right after 9-11, they came firing back with the infamous "terrorists in hell" story, and now after Katrina, they offer up this.
Best headline: "Government Relief Workers Mosey In To Help," ("Follow-up teams of emergency relief workers are expected to begin ambling into the Gulf Coast region as early as this weekend."). Second-best: "Bush Urges Victims To Gnaw On Bootstraps For Sustenance."
And the headline on their cover, not reflected in the click-through, is pretty great, too: "Area Man Drives Food There His Goddamned Self." And while I can't find it now, I swear at MSNBC we ran a story about a guy who did just exactly that.
