Cheap blogging crutch - 11.10.08

A merciful end
Mercifully, the darkest days of the Democratic Party are behind them. How, then, to celebrate? Let Howard Dean step down as DNC Chairman. Finally, his terrible reign of intelligence, competency, party-building, and wildly successful campaign strategy is at an end. What a very DNC thing to do.

Break out your Kevlar
Things have apparently gotten so bad that even the Postal Service, for the first time in its history, is preparing to lay off workers. The USPS is looking to eliminate roughly 40,000 of its 685,000 employees, after which it will DUCK MOTHERFUCKER!

Don't look now: He's making sense
That uppity negro is at it again, this time advocating a comprehensive education program to slow the global spread of AIDS. For some strange reason, the Bush Administration's policy of telling people to stop having sex just didn't seem to work all that well.

One should not confuse value with... value
It's good to know that, in our time of economic peril, not all corporations are hurting. McDonald's saw its same-store sales rise over 8% last month, giving hope to a health care industry that will have to deal with the inevitable repercussions of increased McDonald's consumption.

No flight suit this time around
New York City's Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum reopened over the weekend. Tomorrow it will receive President Bush as an honored guest for its Veterans Day ceremonies. Bush will be receiving the 2008 Intrepid Freedom Award, which "recognizes world leaders who embody the ideals of world freedom and democracy." And yes, they appear to be serious about this.
