A bumper crop this week - the Elian Gonzalez news stockpile, the Priest Who Tells Crap Jokes, the Clinton one...

All time faves (I've only been reading for a month or two, mind):

- cool toy withdrawn because of morons
- Congress accuses Parliament of stealing Bill
- coalition to get Ralph Nader a date
- stoner architect designs house that is all foyers
- Robert Downey Jr watch
- ways to save the record industry: Limp Bizkit to make concept album (something like that)
- etc, etc. Why can't Private Eye be as funny or as smart as this?

Make sure you check out the latest Onion book, The Onion's Finest News Reporting. Includes such gems as:

* Desperate Vegetarians Declare Cows Plants
* Mr T To Pity Fool
* General Motors Introduces New Instant-Win Airbags
* 114 Year-Old Attributes Longevity To Random Chance

and more. It also seems to have been the 'inspiration' for Ricky Gervais' Special Olympics joke.
