Bush works out war strategy in backyard sandbox. "Sources confirmed that the President conducted further amphibious warfare simulations during his 45-minute bath late Sunday evening before retiring to his study to skim Sun Tza's The Art of War and reread a compilation book of Beetle Bailey comic strips." The point of most satirical news evades me, but I think this attempt really took a chuckle-worthy angle.

alterna-onion posts are still just onion posts, only less funny.

Good satire hinges on the true nature of a scenario, and that is why this not only funny, but also a great reflection on the dumb-ass-in-chief.

Um. Bush-is-dumb jokes are so 2000. Why the Onion does it better. One reason: actual research, i.e. avoiding obvious misspelt words.

"Bush-is-dumb jokes are so 2000".

Pointing out that Bush-is-dumb jokes are so 2000 is so 2001.
