puts a moon roof in the presidential limo, he's not making himself Fuhrer; he's
just trying to get the smell of stupidity out of the seats. - Bill Maher

"This is
true, according to a new report, I was reading this today in the paper,
thousands of pregnant mothers in this country are planning to name their baby
Barack. That's true. Yeah, after hearing this, Sarah Palin told Bristol, 'Don't
even think about it.'" --Conan O'Brien
Sorry, Mr. President. Please

Disturbing News
Sarah Palin's Reading Material Is
Off Limits!
KING: Should you have not
done the Katie Couric interview?
PALIN: Sure, I should have done the Katie Couric interview. Her questions were
fair...
KING: You should have done it?
PALIN: I should have done it, yes. And her questions were fair. Obviously, being
a bit annoyed with some of the questions, my annoyance shows through. And I am
who I am, though, and I call it like I see it.
And some of
those questions, you know, regarding what do I read up in Alaska, were,
to me, a bit irrelevant. And my annoyance at those questions showed through.
"Sarah
Palin is back to work in Alaska -- fixin' and reformin' and maverickin' things
up there as Governor."- Jimmy Kimmel
''Jerk.''

Lame Duck Hitches Ride On Obama's
Coat Tails
U.S. President George W.
Bush told this weekend's economic summit
that he
had received support from president-elect Barack Obama during the
deliberations in Washington, France's finance minister said on Sunday.
Now that
they've lost, Republicans have to agree not to waste everyone's time spending
the next four years screaming for investigations of Barack Obama over made-up
bullsh*t. Let's not kid ourselves. The hardcore Republican base is like a
stalker; rejection just makes them crazier.- Bill Maher

The Woman Who Wouldn't Go Away
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin lost
no time getting down to work upon her return to gubernatorial duties, despite
the distractions of having to cook meals for television reporters interviewing
her. Job One: counteracting the effects of plummeting oil prices on state
coffers.
A die-hard Democrat in town got this note last week from the governor:
"Dear Neighbor," it began. "As Governor of Alaska, I am pleased to tell you
about a very special offer:
now you can receive an official Alaska travel guide -- absolutely FREE."
