Onion News-Millions Travel to Barbaro's Funeral

[brianwspencer]

I needed that!

It's hard to make light of it, but the Onion is so damn funny.

Highlights include:

""Without Barbaro's example, I don't think I would be a lawyer.""

"He taught us how to triumph over adversity and how to persevere in the face of overwhelming odds. He showed us that anyone could win the Kentucky Derby if they just believed in themselves—even you or I. And he proved that people can lead perfectly normal, productive lives after breaking their long pastern bone and being diagnosed with laminitis of the left hoof."

Perhaps it's tasteless to have found that slightly amusing. Satire is usually tasteless though, so be it.
