    From the Onion awhile back:
    
    Government No Longer Even Bothering To Hide Halliburton Favors
    
    WASHINGTON, DC With last week's announcement that it will award
    Halliburton a lucrative contract to put out Iraqi oil-well fires
    after the war, the U.S. government has officially stopped trying
    to hide its favoritism toward the Houston-based company. "When we
    first started cutting Halliburton sweetheart deals, we'd worry
    about how it would look, with Dick Cheney being their former CEO
    and all," White House press secretary Ari Fleischer said. "Somewhere
    along the line, though, we just kind of said, 'Ah, fuck it.'"
    Fleischer added that Halliburton has something "real juicy" coming
    its way when the U.S. invades Iran in July 2004.

  I though Iran would be first. Iran is in between Afghanistan and Iraq. I think Bush lost alot of Risk games.

  The onion has been increasingly prophetic. Take for example this one, which I'm sure you all remember when it first came out, on January 18, 2001. It's frightening how many of the things mentioned in jest and satire have ACTUALLY HAPPENED.
