Spin alert: Onion Article Redux. (Conservatives, avert thine eyes!)

Ok, now, for all of the saner folk out there, here is one of the most amusing things I've seen in a long time.

Someone took the Onion article from January 2001 (i.e. released just a few days before Bush's presidency began) called "Bush: 'Our Long National Nightmare Of Peace And Prosperity Is Finally Over'" and annotated it, linking from each satirical statement to the actual fulfilment of said statement in the time since then. Almost every point they used in their humorous article now has some actual event or series of events that corresponds with it.

Man, this is so funny. And sad. And scary! It's just like a Hollywood summer blockbuster, but without the 20 minutes of sneak previews. Check it out.
