Actually, it is kind of funny, because I really never met anyone remotely like this. I guess it comes with the turf. Twisted though, but there are a few nuggets in it. But it's one of the Onion' weirder ones, that's for sure.

1. No worries. Since it doesn't mirror the truth save for a few outliers, it won't be found funny.
Let it quickly fade into the inane. The right wing is not creative. :evilgrin:

2. I've seen it before; it's hilarious.
I'm feeling a bit of withdrawal myself, but at least I won't be naming any kid "Barack"! On the night of the election, I was literally too tired to get up and cheer when I found out he'd won. After a year and a half of volunteering and arguing and reasoning with people about this guy, I was half asleep when he won.

3. Yes, that's funny. If you take yourself so seriously that you can't see the humor,
then they are probably talking about YOU. It did drag on for a tad bit too long, and it could have been a little less harsh, but overall it was funny.

11. Actually, they are most certainly NOT talking about me, which is why I found the piece
so hard to relate to.

16. Well, humor IS a very subjective thing.
:hi:

6. That's pretty funny. I know a few people who were getting close
to Ozombie status.

What, pray tell, is a "messenger bag"?

7. I thought it was very funny... and they're making fun of me.
There's a bit of problem with Obama being so hard to make fun of--most comedians don't quite have a bead on him.

8. Well I just thinks it's so strange because it's such a reach, that's all.
The Onion is usually a little more pointed and obvious than this.

12. Well, from one jonny to another, I guess I just never knew that Mr. O had that many fans who could
be called obsessed. That seems a little unhealthy. And I don't think he'd feel that great knowing it. I wanted the guy to win, and badly, but that's the extent of it.

13. "They've lost the ability to process non-Obama information."
:rofl: :spray:

Much of it was only slightly exaggerated, from my perspective.

15. OK...it's unanimous, everyone thinks it's good. That's cool, cause I was thinking some folks
would take some kind of umbrage. Cool then. My job here is done.
