There Once Was a Man Named Obama...

The Washington Post ran a post-election Limerick contest yesterday. Here are some of the best:

pinkfire:
The Republican menu lacked drama,
So they served up a hot hockey mama.
But red meat on high heels
Is an unhealthy meal,
So, no thanks, I’ll be having Obama!

garyt23:
In the land of red, white and blue,
Rode a man who was black/white and new,
People questioned his range
When he named his horse "Change,"
But that steed drove him straight, drove him true.

bgraham1:
This limerick is written by Palin,
And I'm just gonna ignore your liberal media "gotcha" rules and requirements
About rhyming, which is also
A socialist agenda
So too and also in my experience
As a mayor of the buckets of job creation
I can see Russia from my house

Winner

busstopboxer:
McCain's new best friend, Joe the Plumber
Is having his Indian Summer
He soon hopes to be
On a country CD
And probably driving a Hummer

A Bit of Nostalgia

There are some things I'll miss when the election is over--it sure has been good fodder for humor...

Quote of the Day

Thanks to Magda for forwarding...

“I look at these people and can't quite believe that they exist. Are they professional actors? I wonder. Or are they simply laymen who want a lot of attention? To put them in perspective, I think of being on an airplane. The flight attendant comes down the aisle with her food cart and, eventually, parks it beside my seat. 'Can I interest you in the chicken?' she asks. 'Or would you prefer the platter of shit with bits of broken glass in it? To be undecided in this election is to pause for a moment and then ask how the chicken is cooked.'

- David Sedaris, on undecided voters

When You Put Them in a Room Together

Obama and McCain both attended the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Dinner last night. A fancy-schmancy white-tie affair at the Waldorf Astoria. Here's what those crazy kids had to say about each other...

Time: Why Women Hate Sarah Palin

This bit is a little tongue-in-cheek and a little check-yourself-out-in-the-mirror...

Ah, women, the consistently, tragically underestimated constituency. What the Democrats learned during the primaries and the Republicans might now be finding out the hard way, I learned at my very academic, well-regarded all-girls high school: that is never to discount the ability of women to open a robust, committed, well-thought-out vat of hatred for another girl.

Ouch.
