The Onion Does It Again, Again

Now That I've Learned About Foreshadowing, I'm Going To Use It In All Of My Stories

Guess what? There is this really neat literary device I just learned about, and it's called "foreshadowing." It's this thing where, in the beginning of the story, you put in all these little "hints" about stuff that's going to happen later on. I can't wait to try it out!

Conservation Group Condemns Waterboarding As Wasteful

December 4, 2007 | Issue 43•49

WASHINGTON—National Water Watch, a Washington-based conservation group, criticized the government's use of waterboarding Monday, calling the practice of stuffing a cloth into a detainee's mouth, immobilizing him, and pouring water over his face and body to simulate the sensation of drowning "a tragic waste of resources." "The idea that the United States could condone the despicable act of squandering several pitchers of water is shameful," NWW spokesman Gregory Hammil said. "It is amoral, unconscionable, and in direct opposition to all internationally recognized water- saving techniques." Hammil recommended the government switch to more eco-friendly means of enhanced interrogation, such as waterboarding with a return-hose device in order to reuse old water, or simply beating suspected terrorists to a bloody pulp.

Study: Alzheimer's Patients Say They Do Not Have Alzheimer's

Similarly, John Hogdman's "Resident Expert" segments on The Daily Show have been one of the most consistently hilarious things on the show since they began over a year ago. In the newest installment, which aired on Monday, June 11, Hodgman covers Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). Here's the video clip.
