Prescient onions

Filed under: @ 3:45 pm

While over at Salon’s War Room, I came across a link to an article The Onion wrote on January 17, 2001: Bush: ‘Our Long National Nightmare Of Peace And Prosperity Is Finally Over’. The person hosting the page upped the ante - items which were originally-amusing-in-a-forboding-way that have since become terrifying reality by linking key points to articles illustrating how Bush has, in fact, done what the satirized Bush announced. Chilling.

PS - Yes, I just noted that the article in question was written by Farhad Manjoo too.
