The Onion partners with The Washington Post

A little more humorous / light reading is coming to Washington as the satiric online site – The Onion – is partnering up with The Washington Post.

The Onion, the Gen-X satiric newspaper, is coming to Washington and will partner with The Washington Post, which will print the paper and sell local ads.

The Onion, which also maintains a Web site, will be distributed free in news boxes and by hawkers in Washington beginning the first week in April. The Post will be paid for its business services.

I wouldn’t mind receiving a paper copy of The Onion from time-to-time to make the morning commute a little lighter.
