In timing that’s almost too absurd to be real, The Onion has a full page ad in Sunday’s New York Times print edition featuring part of an editorial titled, “Congress, Now More Than Ever, Our Nation Needs Your Cowardice.” As the world wakes up to the news of the US bombing Iran, NYT subscribers perusing the news section will find this ad from the renowned satirical publication, meant to highlight the utter fecklessness of this country’s lawmakers.
