Power Back On

Samantha Power, who got caught up in some campaign b.s. back during the endless primary, is getting a job with the transition team. Sure, we can loose the occasional hack to campaign crap, but Power is way too important to let go over little crap.

Happy Thanksgiving

Ha!

Too many jokes...

Page Six is reporting that right-wing agitator and controversy-seeker Ann Coulter's jaw is wired tightly shut.

Must...tell...one.

How Will They Know?

News from FoxNews:

“Hannity & Colmes,” the longest-running program on the Fox News Channel, will soon be without Colmes.

Alan Colmes, 58, the liberal half of the 9 p.m. show, will leave his daily hosting duties at the end of the year, the network announced Monday.

While the network remained quiet about its plans for the political debate program, two people close to the network said that Sean Hannity, 46, Mr. Colmes’s conservative counterpart for the last 12 years, would become the sole host of the hour.

No really, how is this different?

More Bail

Could all companies not needing a massive government bailout please take two steps back. Anyone?

Yo Ho Ho Ho...

Piracy is the new news. Robert Farley has booth words and video. For even more cool pirate info, check out this Live Global Map of pirate attacks.

Play at Home

Think you can guess what a voter intended? Thanks to Minnesota Public Radio, you can see the challenged ballots and take you best shot at figuring out who intended to vote for whom.

And before you despair over the state of the American voter, keep in mind these are the dumbest, sloppiest, weirdest voters out of some 3 million voters in this Senate race. Normally these folks don't matter, but with a margin this close, every stray pen mark matters.

I mean, an extra write-in vote for the "Lizard People?" What, is that suppose to be funny?

Al Franken as Senator would be funny. But you know, in a good way.

Let's Do a Deal

As a member in good standing with the liberal agenda, I can make the following offer to my right-wing fellows. We will give up our non-existent drive to bring back the fairness doctrine and drive Rush from the airwaves if you agree to, let's say, health care reform.

What do you say?

Done

Missouri has finally called. McCain won by 3,632 votes out of more than 2.9 million cast. Let's all just say a little thank you to fate for the fact that this election didn't come down to Missouri. Who amoung us wanted to wait two weeks.

New World

Ayman al-Zawahri, second in command of a organization dedicated to the violent destruction of the United States and a proud son of Egypt, doesn't think that Obama is black enough:

In al-Qaida's first response to Obama's victory, al-Zawahri also called the president-elect..."house negroes."

Bad Idea

Should not have done this. Mark my words, Lieberman will screw Obama and the Dems before the term is out. On some foreign policy question, right at a key moment, Lieberman with will repay this kindness. I'm completely sure of this.

Called!

Ted Stevens is done.

Now Alaska only has to account for that whole Palin thing.

Too High a Price

Obama has to give up E-Mail.

I couldn't. Could you?

Best Pirate I've Ever Seen.

I've been treating the fact that piracy has returned to the waters off Somalia like some kind of fluke - imagine, pirates, in this day and age! But news that they were able to snatch a fraking supertanker carrying more than $100 million worth of crude makes this officially serious. Serious means anything that raises my gas prices. Where's the navy? Not just ours, all of them. I'm thinking stopping piracy is a basic function of the navy. Billions of dollars gets spent each year for you to sail around in your fancy boats. There are no wars at sea going on. It's time to use that boat for something other than picking up chicks in foreign ports.

Get on it.

UPDATE: Score one for the Indian Navy.

Job Go Bye-Bye

It's not just Citigroup that's laying people off.

Poor Focus on the Family is dumping people too.

Both banking and mucking around with gay folk's marriages are suffering industries these days.
