"Homosexual Tearfully Admits To Being Governor Of New Jersey"--The Onion of 08/18/04. must put Onion into links. in the 70s the National Lampoon could sometimes rise above puerile and sophomoric. one memorable piece had a page of pictures of 'revolutionaries', Jane Fonda, Bobby Seale, Eldridge Cleaver, Jerry Rubin, with captions what they were up to lately. Fonda going fom war protest to thigh-trimming, etc. I think at the top there was a banner: When It Coems To Revolution. on the next page was a Chinese Revolutionary-style poster of the writers of the mag, with the banner: We're All You've Got Left. humour is a constant revolution. altho you think of all those comedians who seemed edgy or even funny, Steve Martin, Whoopi Goldbeg, Billy Crystal, Michael Keaton, who signed on to the floor show, got serious, and are full of crap. selah and all that.
