    Only the Onion would write an article about the promotion of a corporate hitman/fixer after a Boeing whistleblower was just “suicided” IRL, and make it hilarious.

        I read the article they wrote like 15 years (or more) ago about the US sneaking out of Afghanistan in the middle of the night like a one-night stand. And then I read an article describing the actual occurrence when it happened and so many details were spot-on it was scary.
