News Good Morning, News!

Posted by Wm.™ Steven Humphrey on Thu, Feb 26, 2009 at 9:20 AM

Obama introduces his new budget, taking his scalpel to Bush's war-time policies: "Large sums have been left off the books, including the true cost of fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. And that kind of dishonest accounting is not how you run your family budgets at home; it's not how your government should run its budgets either." (Actually, he hasn't seen the way I run our home budget, which files "monthly erotic massage visits" under "continuing education.")

In a shocking, unsuspected development, the Ku Klux Klan hates Obama!

Again with the layoffs! Last week unemployment benefit claims jumped from 631,000 to 667,000.

Hey, there's a new serial killer running around, and he's got the worst name ever: the Grim Sleeper. Are they trying to annoy him into turning himself in?

And finally, a man calls 911 because Burger King ran out of lemonade. I know… I know… but have you tasted Burger King's lemonade? IT'S THAT GOOD!

I'm totally convinced you don't actually read any of the stories you include in these posts. That "new" serial killer of yours has been killing people since 1985...
