Pre-Patriot Act Onion News Satire

I just stumbled upon old 'news' stories from the hilarious Onion, from 2000. Some would just be a little un-pc, while others might be mistaken for real news, if they were written today.


List of Least Safe Airlines (post-9/11 I doubt this would be made)

List of What the Militia Are Hoarding (nobody's mocking the Militia anymore, are they?)

Clinton Declares Self President for Life (includes a declaration of martial law, re-education camps, and the threat of using nukes to put down an insurrection. These things aren't funny anymore, because they are a real possibility!)

Serbia Deploys Peacekeeping Forces to U.S. (well I guess it's not a million miles from the Blue Helmets...)

    Today, it would be Obama declaring himself president for life, complete with martial law and the re-education camps (no nukes though...who knows what he'd use to put down an insurrection).

    Apparently there has actually been proposed an amendment to your Constitution to remove the Presidential term limit. Ha! Or should that be 'Heil'.
