        @rob_sheridan I don't think @TheOnion can top real life. Akin's actual apology: "What I said was *ill-conceived*."http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-57496599-503544/akin-apologizes-for-rape-comments-obama-says-rape-is-rape/ …

        @TheOnion Whether you are right or wrong is not the issue...you've lost the cleverness, the wit. Cuss words don't make a story funny. Adios

        @TheOnion I've appreciated your sarcastic take on the news previously, but lately your stories are little more than insult-laden attacks.
