Art imitates life. Even The Onion cannot parody American Republicans...

That's right. Its very believable that the right would want to repeal the Asteroid Destruction and American Preservation Act for all the reasons The Onion tries to parody and fails.

I've gotten Ted several times with Onion articles about Republicans that he took to be real. Because they so easily COULD have been real. They seemed totally plausible with our current crop of right-wingnuts all trying to our-crazy one another.

>> "While I recognize that intelligent minds may disagree on this issue, I believe we have an obligation to prevent our citizens from having their flesh seared off in a global firestorm that transforms our planet into a broiling molten wasteland," Obama added.

Sounds like his absurd rhetoric on Obamacare, easily identifiable as the absolute worst legislation in the last 100 years. Worse than Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid combined. And that's pretty damned bad.
