I love The Onion. I also love the people that reply to these stories..... Did you know that the word 'gullible' isn't in the dictionary?

We all know it's a spoof. It's the Onion. The fun is responding in kind. The ridiculousness of this world, particularly the political one, makes it somewhat meaningless whether it is real or not. I expect something this stupid from Congress. And we're all just practicing how to deal with it when the morons actually do something like this.

Most people understand that the onion is humor and parody. But trust me, some people on here take it as seriously as if it was on the front page of the WSJ. Not everyone catches that it is a joke.
