This article is a little preachy. But I thought that Point-Counterpoint and Talking to Your Children were good. And I like Phil Gramm’s quote in this article.
Well, folks, The ONION has published their special WTC issue, and it looks like a good one (as always). I think that overall we came up with some pretty darned funny stuff here, none of which anyone at the ONION read (it’s their policy, which I understand completely. Frankly, the last two weeks with no new issue would have been a lot harder to get through were it not for this thread and its contributors. So thanks to everyone.
Plus, I finally started a thread that didn’t die the same day. And pushed my post count over 100. Woohooo!
Love it.

I guess great minds really do think alike.
Psychic predicts disaster for the WTC
“I can see guns and hostages in the twin towers” said Sylvia Browne today.
US gives Afghanistan a “Nanna Nanna Boo Boo.” Osama bin Laden retaliates by stepping on crack.
Switzerland gives everyone a “time out,” stating, “Too much sugar before bedtime.”
Just came to me while putting on lipstick. Had to come downstairs and post it.
**WTC ATTACK DECLARED PRANK GONE AWRY **
" We infliltrated every restroom and at the predesignated time, everyone flushed the johns at the same precise moment." Said an unnamed member of the Delta Gamma Fraternity. " What can I say other than it’s Rush Week. Sorry, dudes."
Martians in the WTC? Compare the pictures and see for yourself…

Greetings
If you’re simply scanning to see what headlines I have to offer, may as well move on, there’s NO way I can top what’s been posted so far…
(Gush-fest alert!)
OK I am finally de-lurking, & registering in this site, just so I could respond to this most awesome of threads!!! I wanted to get in my 2 cents before this thread is closed, as it may be outliving its usefulness soon.
Karellen, you totally rule. I can’t thank you enough for starting this thread. It has been VERY therapeutic to me, in coming to terms with the terrible events of 9/11 (but without losing sight of the seriousness of the new situation, the new world in which we all live now.). I think there were a few moments I nearly passed out, I was laughing so hard. Then I realized, hey, it’s ok to laugh & not feel pain, and to not feel bad about not feeling bad (well, you know…).
And rather than waste copious space copying all my fave headlines in here (as someone did near the top of page 8 of this thread, sheesh just gimme new stuff, dernit!!), I wanted to give a quick “honorable mention” to some notable contributors,
Karellen, for obvious reasons
Shirley Ujest, for sooo many great inputs
Vinnie Virginslayer, for the latter reason too
and
ShibbOleth
Rick Jay
Amazing Magic-Gro Monster
quixotic78
Nymysys
and to the many others for their inputs (OK I stopped looking for notable names after about page 3, so a tip O’ the hat to the rest of you, too…). ALSO to the various contributors of those Onion-esque non headline items – Articles, “Point Counterpoint”, “What do you think” etc. This stuff was better reading than much of the Onion’s own material!!!
You guys totally made my day(s)! 
thanks again!
Mick
ps. to anyone out there who hasn’t <gasp> visited it yet, http://www.theonion.com you MUST go see what this thread was all about…
