I can't link to the original article because The Onion charges to search their archives. But here is a link to the photo. http://politicalhumor.about.com/library/images/blclintondictator.htm

8. The most prescient one was the one following Bush's |

inauguration. Something like, "Bush election ends long, national nightmare of peace and prosperity."

it was a while after 9/11 that i actually felt like looking at the Onion, and when I did, I just laughed and laughed and laughed, because it was so exactly how I was feeling.

17. The story where the 9/11 hijackers end up in Hell... |

Edited on Thu Nov-04-04 12:54 AM by mark11727
...and can't figure out how they got there. The rest of the story interviews the hijackers while being tortured in highly imaginative ways, along with some minor demons...
