In order for folks here to "see" your sarcasm (and that you understand this is not a real article), I recommend you use this: or perhaps this: and this one is always good

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.

God bless the Onion. I was particularly amused by:

<<In addition to the millions of people on hand, some of Barbaro's closest colleagues, including Private Vow, Brother Derek, and Point Determined, were also in attendance. Although they remained mostly quiet throughout the ceremony, the looks in their dark, liquid eyes suggested that they, too, felt the same loss as the American people.>>
