Damn, been awhile since I ate the onion. With how crazy shit has been lately this was honestly pretty believable

This is the best and worst part of the Onion. Reality is so fucked up we can't be sure. Good for the lulz, less good for our blood pressure, lol.

Yep, even at "War of Northern Aggression" is still was chewing that onion. Absolutely believable that such shit comes out of his mouth.
