Around Austin the Onion often sells in newsracks by the daily papers. It's headlines ofen are more accurate about our reality than the "news". For Americans, I say plant your garden, store a years worth of dry rations, and exercise your 2nd ammendment rights while you can. All three are probably going to be necessary for survival in the coming months.
Also, it's not shocking that The Onion (or any satire, like the Daily Show, etc.) is the best place for news. Satire is refuge for the truth, has been since the days of court jesters, esp. when the truth is unpopular.
However, I do remember when The Onion became "not funny anymore."
