Good example of why I can't stand the Onion. Fact and fiction (or satire, if you prefer) totally mixed together, with no way of knowing which is which. Some of the satire is well targeted, like the crack about LCD's influence on the drafting of the US constitution (we do have that kind of problem), but some is nonsense, like the Chuck Norris mention or the misspelling in "American Inderpendance". The article could make some telling points about vandalism, and other points about inaccuracies or hoaxes, but instead mixes them together as if they were the same thing.
Why isn't there any good satire?
You're not looking in the right place.
