Here's the kicker. It's not true. Unemployment benefits are based on a percentage of income. So she's still getting less money than her unemployed male former coworkers.

There's a maximum amount you can receive on unemployment, though. If they both made enough to qualify for the maximum, they'd get the same amount. His salary still could have been more than hers.

His salary still could have been more than hers. This is true. Also she could have made better investments with her consultant wealth and earned better dividends than her dumb e trade coworkers. So really it's her fault.

George W Bush returns to america after 4 years in the himalayas. I like this one but I'd have preferred if they'd just ended it with him justifying the Iraq war. As if, even with the gift of transcendent knowledge, that was still objectively the right idea.

Hilarious! The screen grab:  They even added a Tehran dateline to it before copying the original story word-for-word. And now The Onion has added this to the original: "For more on this story: Please visit our Iranian subsidiary organization, Fars."

Brother Jonathan posted:Hilarious! The screen grab: http://www.theonion.com/articles/gallup-poll-rural-whites-prefer-ahmadinejad-to-oba,29677/ They didn't copy it word for word. They deleted the part I bolded: quote:CHARLESTON, WV—According to the results of a Gallup poll released Monday, the overwhelming majority of rural white Americans said they would rather vote for Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad than U.S. president Barack Obama. “I like him better,” said West Virginia resident Dale Swiderski, who, along with 77 percent of rural Caucasian voters, confirmed he would much rather go to a baseball game or have a beer with Ahmadinejad, a man who has repeatedly denied the Holocaust and has had numerous political prisoners executed, than spend time with Obama. “He takes national defense seriously, and he’d never let some gay protesters tell him how to run his country like Obama does.” According to the same Gallup poll, 60 percent of rural whites said they at least respected that Ahmadinejad doesn’t try to hide the fact that he’s Muslim.

Sometimes on Literally Unbelievable I think that people are just reacting to the headline and didn't bother to read it. But the fact that that story was edited proves that the person who posted it on the news site actually read the article and didn't spot the satire!

You must remember that satirical humor is entirely based on societal context. Whomever put that together for the Iranian news network has no way of knowing that rural Americans dislike Obama, but not that much, which is why it is funny to us, but undetectable as satire to someone who does not have knowledge of the American political climate. Literally Unbelievable is a depressing read for me, because it shows how many people have their heads up their asses on many important issues. Content: Netanyahu Feeling Like Trip To US To Start World War III Went Pretty Well Another short but bleak piece.

Also on the Iranian blunder, CNN has the story, which includes a quote from the editor of The Onion:quote:Without breaking from its farce, Onion Editor Will Tracy wrote in an e-mail that Fars is a subsidiary and has been "our Middle Eastern bureau since the mid 1980s, when the Onion's publisher, T. Herman Zweibel, founded Fars with the government approval of the late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khomeini.

Mitt Romney Frantically Running Around Ohio Smiling And Wavingquote:CANTON, OH—As part of an effort to cut into President Obama’s lead in the crucial swing state of Ohio, Mitt Romney reportedly ran at full speed Monday around the entire state screaming “Hello!” at the top of his lungs while smiling and waving indiscriminately. “Hello, Ohio! How ya doing? Hi! How is everybody? I’m Mitt Romney!” the breathless, sweat-drenched candidate spat out randomly as he tore across the state without pause, furiously kissing babies and tossing them backwards over his shoulder in a mad dash that has now taken him through 30 of Ohio’s 88 counties. “The beautiful state of Ohio! Go Buckeyes! Jobs! Ohio! Hello! I’m Mitt Romney!” At press time, Romney had reportedly dived through the plate-glass front window of a North Canton bar, scrambled to his feet, wolfed down a large plate of pancakes, waved to restaurant patrons for five seconds, furiously stammered out a few words about the economy, stumbled out through the front door, and sprinted in the direction of Youngstown.
