Our Dumb Century: The Onion Presents 100 Years of Headlines from America's Finest News Source

The economy’s in baaaad shape. Politicians are tearing at each others throats to win a seat where the winner gets to bullshit the country for 4 years. What else? We are in an endless war. And it seems like the rich get richer while the middle class gets royally screwed up the ass. What better way to laugh at the state of things than by reading The Onion Presents Our Dumb Century! This book is a hilarious take on our “dumb” history by recounting the twentieth century’s famous events with The Onion’s trademark satire. Things that made newspaper headlines in the past have been re-edited and “touched up” by The Onion’s fine writing staff. For example, you might find yourself cracking up when coming across the headline "NEW PRESIDENT FEELS NATION'S PAIN, BREASTS", referring to President Clinton. Simply put, it’s a great book to get lost in and forget about the disastrous state of our world.
