If you are asking if an article from the Onion should be posted here then yes,

as it would probably still be "Current Events"

er..maybe



Well...also..if other people are also posting fake news I really don't see how the Onion is different.

Tom DeLay To Pursue Corruption In Private Sector
April 5, 2006 | Issue 42•14

STAFFORD, TX-Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, who is facing several ethics violations and felony charges, announced Tuesday that he will resign from Congress in order to concentrate on corruption in the private sector. "I can say with a clear lack of conscience that, after 21 years of public disservice, I have done everything I could to the American people," DeLay said in a televised statement to constituents. "I have a lot to offer the corporate world, such as money laundering and influence-peddling." DeLay added that, before assuming his new irresponsibilities, he looks forward to spending more time alienating his family and cheating on his wife.

I don't think it did. But in today's government, well, you never know. If I violated, I will be happy to edit/delete/rescind/flagellate

The Onion satarises current events - so I think they should/could be posted just as any political cartoon or such - so THANKS! It is current events!
