ReviewsPraise for The Onion "Genius... the most consistently hilarious spot on the flogged dead horse of American comedy." --Esquire "Makes its readers teary-eyed with laughter-- The Onion gleefully offends, armed with a powerful combination of puerility and intelligence. . . . What the National Lampoon was to the '70s, The Onion may be for the new millennium." --Washington Post
