"Murder Rate Finally Plateaus In Chicago As Even Murderers Too Scared To Go Out At Night" is a classic, remember when I first saw that one, shared it with several coworkers

The article about "Christians face choice between party that is hypocritical mockery of their faith and one that is openly hostile to it" is how I respond whenever people ask me my opinion on politics these days.

I forgot about the Elizabeth Warren one - I am dying laughing.

These are like watching Swartzwelder-era Simpsons. Ah, the good ol’ days.

Haha! I remember these - must have caught them on the re-post as I didn’t discover the Bee until 2019. Once I became copy editor if I was bored I would go back through the old articles and fix typos, so maybe read some then as well. The sack full of badgers one might be my favorite of this batch! All classic Bee! When comments were added, often Kyle would write FLEMMMING! on your articles so I got to know your style. The first time he wrote HOUSWIIIFE! on one of mine, I felt I had arrived! Thanks for sharing these - so good!
