My 1st Onion Headline Published: Obama Voicemail Message Not That Inspiring
Wednesday, May 14, 2008 at 12:56 | baratunde | tagged Barack Obama, Comedy, The Onion in Baratunde-News
This is a great day! One of the best parts of working at the Onion is being on the editorial staff and actually writing headlines. After months of intensive study and Zen-like devotion to the craft, one of my headlines has actually made it through the comedic fires and come out the other side as a piece for Onion Radio News.
And just to clarify, I only did the headline. Others wrote and recorded the segment. It's a very collaborative environment around here.

How are you going to be the editor for all The Onion web content and you JUST NOW are getting a headline approved?!? "Black Man Decides not to Exploit Absolute Power!" (...next, on The Onion)!
ha ha. it takes time homey. you don't get admitted to medical school and just start doing triple bypasses after two weeks. and be careful talkin all that smack before you end up in an unflattering story :)
"...and be careful talkin' all that smack..."
I am the living embodiment of an unflattering story; you may strike me down, but, it will only make me stronger!
(Dag, did I just resort to Star Wars cliches?!? Help me, I need Jesus).
