Why does the Onion always have to be right about this kind of stuff?


Yup, a 1993 page from the 1999 Onion book Our Dumb Century with this article and subhed, “Nation Eagerly Awaits Ohio Man’s Profound Insights Into Current Events.”

They predicted the coming of Joe the Plumber!

Seriously, the Onion needs to say something along the lines "Survey says that Americans might be upset over corruption in government!"

3. McCains playbook is The Onion?
Heck, that is more believeable than him picking moose hunter Sarah Palin as VP.
