Nah, the Onion is good unvarnished reporting. D'you think I don't know that after eight years of careful perusal? Also, it introduced me to the absolute finest and most tasteless comic on the web (http://www.redmeat.com).

...Republicans and Democrats disagreed over who would run the federal government in the absence of Congress.

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-NV, said President George Bush would rule by secret executive orders, as he has been doing for the past several years.

Acting House Majority Leader Roy Blunt, R-MO, said the federal judiciary would continue to govern the land as it has for almost four decades.

In either case, experts agree, that even though elected representatives have withdrawn from the troika of power, the American people will still have just as much influence over their government as they have had in the recent past.
