Time To Start Reading The Onion Again

Deep-fried goodness from TNR, where the tellingly named Rebecca Onion examines the Elizabeth Smart and Jessica Lynch cash-in books. Apparently, they are bad enough to justify desperate measures:

This writer calls upon Al Qaeda to kidnap a pretty, 25-year-old blonde female–preferably one with an MFA from Iowa who also happens to speak Arabic.

(However, Onion criticizes Rick Bragg for being too far removed from the situation and having to build a composite account from eyewitnesses, without pointing out his valuable recent experience in this area.)

(Hat tip: Sho.)
