Favorites from The Onion
I read the The Onion regularly in high school. The wry, pertinent humor appealed to me at the time. I eagerly awaited new articles, especially in the point-counterpoint series. In college, I forgot all about The Onion, and only discovered it again when it made a brief splash in internet news by making its archives freely available on its website. While the site is a treasure trove of sarcastic, pithy articles, the older pieces are harder to find as the The Onion has largely transcended simple text in favor of trendier video clips.
I will be adding links to my favorite articles from The Onion’s archives as I run across them.

Brief
I'm John Covey, John C. Covey to be exact. I'm a programmer with a small shop in the United States, but I used to tell people I was a web designer, which I still think would be a sweet life, except for the part about struggling to pay bills.
