DAILY BRIEFING

It’s Like Christmas Morning For Atheist Liberals!

  • Fiat, a maker of little Italian cars, and Chrysler, a maker of large American boats, will join forces to save the flagging U.S. company. [Wall Street Journal]
  • Yesterday Barack Obama painted a wall. What did you do in service to America? [Washington Post]
  • The Obama administration is trying very hard to work with both Democrats and Republicans, but both sides are a little pissy after eight (sixteen?) years of trench warfare. [New York Times]
  • A roadside bomb in Kandahar killed two policemen, while numerous Taliban fighters were killed elsewhere in Afghanistan. Everybody wins! [CNN]
  • If Barack Obama’s inaugural address does not make 250 million people collectively wet their pants with joy, he will be tarred and feathered and forced to spend the rest of the day in a porta-potty. [Time]
  • If you are a nervous, negative Nellie, your brain will rot. [BBC]

    See, this do-gooder stuff is misrepresented - Obama was just trying out colors for the white house… a nice charcoal exterior might look nice…

  2. I don’t even get any commenters to rag on. Inaugural sad. I has it.

  3. Damn, he’s late. But then, what did we expect? He’s a lazy negro. THATS CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN!

    So to avoid demetia one should be calm, positive and socially active. Oh god, we’re all screwed.

  5. Colander says at 8:47 am, January 20th, 2009

    “If you are a nervous, negative Nellie, your brain will rot.”

    Obama’s hope beams will SAVE LIVES, people!

  6. WOW we saw him for like, 10 seconds. MY LIFE IS FULFILLED! KILL ME NOW SO I WILL END ON A HIGH!

    This is hilarious:

    “That Obama administration - I don’t like the way they been bailing out businesses and taking away my individual rights” - “I don’t like them big deficits Obama has been racking up”.

  8. OffTheRecord says at 8:50 am, January 20th, 2009

    dutchie: There he is again! I need a close up of Michelle’s outfit. Right now.

  9. I once owned a Fiat. Fiat isn’t saving anybody.

  10. OffTheRecord: Not worth it. It’ll already be sold out. Michelle Obama will revive the economy on her own, with her fashion followers. We don’t need no stimulus!

  11. I would love to see Mao’s cheerleaders from ‘The Last Emperor’ marching down Pennsylvania Ave.

    Did FIAT not learn from Daimler-Benz?

  12. Obama did his servicing across from my apartment building! Knew something awesome would happen if I moved next door to the halfway house!

    ” One group of friends from California did yoga on a UCLA blanket. ”

  14. golliwog says at 9:10 am, January 20th, 2009

    I see there Cheney’s gonna pull a Dr Strangelove move today too.

  15. We were out hiking yesterday, and I picked up a piece of trash. Service to nation: fulfilled.

  16. Monsieur Grumpe says at 9:11 am, January 20th, 2009

    WadISay:
    I thought you always bought Fiats in pairs so you had a supply of spare parts. When does the Yugo/Ford dance begin?

  17. marinmaven says at 9:14 am, January 20th, 2009

    You are right, it is like Christmas. I got up extra early. Can I open my new president, now? Pleeeze!

  18. I planted a really aggressive poison ivy in a local Mormon cemetery. Just doin’ my part.

  19. I Am Not Your Gary Busey says at 9:21 am, January 20th, 2009

    No wonder Dr. Ron Paul didn’t like fiat money. It’s made in Italy.

  20. mylesfromnowhere says at 9:26 am, January 20th, 2009

    tarred and feathered and forced to spend the rest of the day in a porta-potty.

    Teh new waterboarding!

  21. I am worried about the Inauguration Address.

    Is “Unaccustomed as I am to public speaking . . . ” really the best way to begin it?

    Also, the draft I’ve seen has too many rabbi-goes-in-to-a-bar type jokes. I mean they are terrific gags but not really suitable for such a serious occasion. Especially the dirtier ones.

  22. el_chupacabra says at 9:32 am, January 20th, 2009

    haha.. FOX just censored some MILF-y soccermom type when she tried to mention her blog. FOX is apparently the HBO of owning the news.

  23. ManchuCandidate says at 9:36 am, January 20th, 2009

    Johnny Zhivago:
    The stupids will be with us, always.

  24. Counting My Toes says at 10:00 am, January 20th, 2009

    Fiat and Chrysler? That’s breeding Yugos and Trabants and hoping for a Honda.

  25. Cape Clod says at 10:06 am, January 20th, 2009

    WadISay: I did too. Those are two companies that deserve each other.

  26. What did I do? I got up, looked outside and thought “The poor can get stuffed until it gets warmer out.” Then I didn’t paint a wall that needed painting. Barry didn’t convince me.

  27. There’s a reason my Christmas tree is still up.

  28. “If Barack Obama’s inaugural address does not make 250 million people collectively wet their pants with joy, he will be tarred and feathered and forced to spend the rest of the day in a porta-potty”

    lol… great post…great laughs…much appreciated…
