"Barack Obama's vacation home lost power from lightning strikes in Hawaii
late Friday. It tested his coolness during an emergency. Everyone was
hoping the new president could handle three hours without SportsCenter
better than the last one did."

A toast to the GOP for a heck of a year with a stellar closing act
http://tinyurl.com/8qkn3w
We'd like to propose a toast.
Here's to the Republican Party for a year no one will soon forget. When
2008 began, you were still hopeful. A long trend of Republican gay sex
scandals had finally come to an end and you were thinking that maybe you
could sneak out of the shadow of the worst president in memory and really
shine. That didn't quite work out. ...
You spent much of the autumn being blamed for the worst economy since the
depression, then you even managed to get blamed for not doing what was
necessary to fix it. ...
It was a tough year, but that won't prevent you from going out with a
bang, no sir. Even with everyone off for the holidays, you managed to get
embroiled in a new controversy. Not a sex scandal or a kickback scam. No,
you went over the top and had the candidate for party chairman become the
focus of a controversy surrounding a song parody that has the word "Magic
Negro" in the title. The best part about it, the cherry on the cake? As
the "Magic Negro" song parody scandal reached its high point, many on your
side began saying, "This could actually work out for us."
This is where 2008 has taken you. You're now in a place where the only
thing you have to cling to is a novelty song that refers to the first
black American president as a "Magic Negro." That's the train you're going
to ride straight into 2009. Magnificent.
So here's to you, GOP. You really knew how to entertain this year. Let's
make 2009 even better. Happy New Year!

"Barack Obama is on vacation in Hawaii right now. And today many
newspapers carried pictures of a shirtless Obama playing in the ocean. Did
you see that? Yeah. So as you're thinking of things to be thankful for
this holiday, remember, that could have been a shirtless John McCain."

The daughter of former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin gave birth
to a son...
.. Gov. Palin said he weighs 7 pounds, 4 ounces; or roughly the same as a
fresh moose liver.
.. Gov. Palin celebrated the way every first-time Alaskan grandmother
celebrates: sautéed whale blubber sandwiches and moose lips margaritas.

The Pre-Blame Game
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/28/opinion/28egan.html
In the icy last days of a year that can't pass fast enough, the departing
president is looking for shelter from the storm of his hubris, while the
incoming one is trying to keep that same load from burying him. ...
A little polishing of history is natural for a valedictory. And if
President Bush had just gone off to quiet moral smugness at Crawford,
where he has spent 485 days during his presidency, we could be done with
him. But nooooo!
The ineptitude-by-design that led to war in Iraq? He blamed it on bad
intelligence, much of it from "prior to my arrival in Washington."
The economic meltdown? History will prove that it came from many decisions
"that took place over a decade or so, before I arrived." ...
But to hear some Republicans tell it, the bad times are Obama's fault. On
the day after the election, Rush Limbaugh said, "The game has begun." He
meant the blame game, and it took less than 24 hours for him to get
started.
"We now have the largest market plunge after an election in history," he
said on Nov. 6. "Thank you, man-child Barack Obama."
His colleague in intellectual dishonesty, "the deeply unsubtle Sean
Hannity," as The Economist called him, picked up the talking points on the
"Obama recession" -- his words, more than a month ago. ...

NEWS QUIZ
With Republicans running everything, how come the economy crashed before
the election, not after it?
a) When you deregulate everything, you can't regulate anything.
b) You can't see the invisible hand coming, because it's invisible.
c) In the struggle between fraud and incompetence, incompetence won.
Hint: never underestimate the power of incompetence.
