We've got jokes about Bush's 2004 campaign, coin flips, ruined concerts, Donald Rumsfeld and the Atkins diet. Plus, a new column from Herbert Kornfeld!
Did not realize know the Onion was in trouble! But it's really not what it used to be. I rarely visit the site nowadays, it's mostly those unreadable slideshows. I would say the only regular feature worth reading is Kelly's cartoons.
On the plus side, there is a charming talking animal article!
I'd love more of Herbert just fighting random office ninjas -- I love how even he's confused as to how the explosion happened. Then the twist ending....though I should note you forgot to actually link the column within the article: https://www.theonion.com/enter-tha-office-1819584079
Not much else for me to note aside from the other column's fake horror movie being rated "GP" -- which was in fact an actual rating used by the MPAA from 1970-72, the predecessor to the familiar PG (GP meant General audiences, Parental guidance suggested), so this film would've probably been made in 1969 but released the year after (or perhaps it was a re-issue with a new rating from earlier in the 60s?). If you need more information, ratings system creator Jack Valenti's explanation in an episode of Freakazoid should suffice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzbE0wpqeKc

I found this evening an oral history of the Oneida album with that 14+ minute song. https://drownedinsound.com/in_depth/4141041-an-oral-history-of-oneida%E2%80%99s-each-one-teach-one
