The Onion did such an outstanding job with its first issue after September 11 and its Election 2000 non-verdict issue, so I had high hopes for its first Iraq war issue. Unfortunately, it turned out to be just bitterly anti-war. Not that it's surprising, given some of the stories they've run in the past few months, but I had hoped they'd pull through and make with the funny instead of using the opportunity to take a bunch of political cheap shots. Note that I say this as someone who generally agrees with the sentiments The Onion is trying to express.
