The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

The guy who owes over a billion dollars to the families of Sandy Hook shooting victims because of his decade of lies about the event? And his Infowars web site and brand name?

Not surprisingly, Jones is now in bankruptcy and his assets are being sold off to pay his debts. And that includes Infowars. There were some friendly bidders for that, who would have let Jones continue to make his offensive material. But the winner was the satire web site The Onion.

Sounds like an article they would write, but it's real. Everyone from Fox to MSNBC is reporting the same thing. Here's a link to CNN's coverage, but feel free to substitute your own search for the news.

What I haven't figured out is what The Onion plans to do with it.
