Created in 1988, The Onion is a newspaper out of New
York City that focuses on writing satire. What
better subject than politics to write about, as it
is chock full with satirical issues. The Onion
is completely a parody. This 2009 Pardon My
President calendar
focuses on George W. Bush's horrible presidency.. It makes
fun of the term 'embedded journalists', which was
coined during the Iraq war. They were one of
the first, if not the first publication to write a
satirical piece on the September 11th, 2001 attacks
on the World Trade Center. The Onion decided
to show the terrorists as surprised to be waking up
in hell.
