If The Onion is the nation’s sharpest parody, The Shallot is its small-town cousin: equally pungent, sometimes tear-inducing, but grown in Hudson terroir.
It’s “making space” for parody, lampoon, and political send-up. Think exaggerations that expose the earnest follies and hypocrices of local politics, and a steady reminder that humor is often the best disinfectant.
Why the name? The Onion was already taken. Shallots are subtler, but cut deep just the same. Onions are blunt and democratic, while shallots are bourgeois, refined, Continental, and slyly sharper in reputation.
In Common Sense, we dissect politics with reason. In Shallot Satire, we (re)peel it with ridicule. Both arrive at the same place: revealing truth by stripping away falsehood.
