This is an actual story. It is not from The Onion. It's about the Republicans trying to recruit Black Conservatives to work for the GOP:

"With almost two dozen resumes (two dozen!) from black Republicans in hand, House Majority Leader Tom DeLay said his party's members will focus on hiring more minorities for their staffs.

"One of our problems was, in the hiring of African-Americans, we can't find good conservative African-Americans to work for us," DeLay, R-Texas, said after meeting Tuesday with conservative black leaders. "But I've got 20 resumes now of young conservatives."

Twenty whole resumes! You go, Tom.
