Did you ever read her article/essay about September 11? Made me cry.
Yup. Me, too.
More or less than Jon Stewart on The Daily Show? Or how about The Onion article about God's Press Conference?

We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

It's longer, for one. She was downtown for a panel at a conference, and the essay tells the entire story of her day, from getting there early, to the planes hitting, the towers falling, and her long walk home. It's pretty amazing.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I didn't read The Onion's article, but Jon Stewart really got to me.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Teppy, here.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
It wasn't that article specifically but the entirety of the Onion's coverage-- the "Holy Fucking Shit" issue-- that got to me more than anything else. It felt perfect then and it holds up now.

Oh, I did read that. But it wasn't tear-inducing.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
I totally loved the Onion's thing. It definitely reads as well now.

So I am reading Sugar Blues for this nutrition class thing. It was big book in the 70s, right?

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
That Onion article is a classic. Oddly enough, their bit on explaining September 11 to kids is one of the best things of its kind I've seen.
