Not Knowing What Else To Do, Woman Bakes American Flag-Shaped Cake

That is still one of the realest Onion stories of all time. Always gets me how well they were able to point out the absurdity of so many Americans’ reactions in the hours and days after, while also obviously feeling the same reaction themselves.

I was talking to my kids last night trying to explain the weird patriotism that happened after 9/11. This cake article was spot on. Everyone wanted to do something but no one knew what.
