The Onion:
Al Gore Places Infant Son In Rocket To Escape Dying Planet.
"On his new planet,... he will be faster than a
speeding Prius, stronger than the existing
Superfund program, and able to leap mountains of
red tape in a single bound. These superpowers will
sustain him in his never-ending battle against
conservatives, wealthy industrialists, and other
environmental supervillains."

Slate:
Phones Without Homes.
"Confronted with high inflation, soaring energy
costs, and stagnant wages, millions of households
are facing choices about which monthly bills to pay
and which commitments to maintain."
"And if it comes down to one or the other, the
mobile or the home-based land line, it's clear
which is a necessity and which is an option. One
lets you make telephone calls only from your house.
The other lets you make telephone calls from
anywhere, send e-mails, surf the Internet, play
music, and take photographs."
> I got a shiny new iPhone last week. You want to kill my land line?
Go ahead, make my day.
