Black Guy Asks Nation For Change
CHICAGO—According to witnesses, a loud black man approached a crowd of some 4,000 strangers in downtown Chicago Tuesday and made repeated demands for change. “The time for change is now,” said the black guy, yelling at everyone within earshot for 20 straight minutes, practically begging America for change. “The need for change is stronger and more urgent than ever before. And only you—the people standing here today, and indeed all the people of this great nation—only you can deliver this change.” |
When did the Onion get its groove back? I remember picking it up, wanting to laugh at anything even remotely funny. Now, I don’t have to try as hard. It’s like the dark years of SNL. My theory is that half of the Onion staff quit to move onto failing movie careers and/or died. Ed thinks they just got lazy because of Bush.

I thought the “American People” was usually funny during that span. But the features and editorials were lacking for a while.
