The Onion wraps up their grisly series:

• Bush Tumbles Wildly Down Washington Monument Staircase
• Crocodile Bites Off Bush’s Arm
• Bush Passes Three-Pound Kidney Stone
• Bush Dragged Behind Presidential Motorcade For 26 Blocks
• Bush’s Eyelid Accidentally Nailed To Wall
• Single-Engine Cessna Crashes Into Bush

Finally, mercifully, Bush Dies Peacefully In His Sleep.

Wow, I thought The Onion was for laughs, not dead-on predictions. From 2001: Bush: 'Our Long National Nightmare Of Peace And Prosperity Is Finally Over'. Spooky. Via Waxy.

It will be nice to have a president (with any luck) who reads.

And, to get off of politics, I'm sure this is old news by now, but I just saw this today, and I can't stop watching and smiling: Where the Hell is Matt?

Disgustingly unsurprising White House waterboarding stance. If you didn't read it the first time I posted it, now would be a good time to read this account from a guy who waterboard himself.

Twenty-nine percent?! That can't be right. That 50.000001% of the population that voted the dude back into office for a second term couldn't have dwindled that much. I mean, the folks that voted for him two years ago must have been frickin' True Believers. Did 42% of them really just dry up and blow away? If so, why? It's not like the last two years have been any different from the first four years.

Second verse, same as the first, a little bit louder and a little bit worse...
