Breaking: Shit rapidly nearing fan, no one noticing
November 28, 2010
WORLD - Fecal matter is within 13 centimeters of the fan, say noted Swedish researchers in a study to be published in the journal “Hey, We Might Just Be Boned Here Annual.” Leading Researcher Tim Jöhnson said the proximity of the fecal matter to the fan should be cause for alarm, but apparently isn’t.
“Let’s see, we have possible war between the Koreas, the whole of the Middle East in turmoil, an ongoing economic meltdown, political unrest, Haiti, British Petroleum destroying the Gulf of Mexico, and on and on,” said Jöhnson. “All these factors are pushing the fecal matter ever closer to the fan. But no one seems to care.”
For its part, the American people see the world’s problems as “Anything Palin related,” “Junk touching” and “Anything Lohan related, even now.” A new poll shows “Shit-Fan Slamming” of no interest to any Americans.
“I’m no doomsayer,” said Jöhnson, from Tupelo, Sweden. “But I will say doom is on it’s way. maybe someone should look into that.”

Apocalypse strikes - Republicans declare victory
November 22, 2010
Nov. 23, 2015 — Stating that he’d “Grown bored with the bullshit,” God Almighty announced he was unleashing the Apocalypse some 900 years early.
“Time goes crazy fast for me and all, but this is unbearable,” said Almighty, 43, adding cryptically, “I have other civilizations to deal with.”
American Republicans reacted to the news with shouts of victory. The shouts of victory quickly turned to shouts of anger, as they are prone to in such circles. After a few brief skirmishes and not a small amount of tears, the shouts again turned to ones of victory.
Speaker of the House John Boehner said the divine demolition showed that President Barack Obama’s policies could not work.
“Yes, we obstructed every thing he tried. And that showed they don’t work,” said Boehner, blood pouring from his ears. “The Republican Party haw won. Good night.”
As flying, dripping monsters of the most unpleasant variety tore down mountainsides and vomited Palin bile at the fleeing masses, talk show host Rush Limbaugh played the race card. Again.
“And this is the final proof that a Black man should only be President if we’ve run out of Whites, Yellows, Browns and Reds,” said the Radio entertainer and de facto leader of the Conservative Party, as gargoyles gorged on his entrails and junkies raided his sock drawers. “And that’s not racist. You’re the racist.”
While Republicans cheered the end of the United States and the world as we know it, Democrats Ben Nelson and Joe Lieberman asked by bipartisan dialogue.
“Really, we can talk this out,” said Nelson. “Let’s just go along with Republicans and celebrate Obama’s failure, ok?”
For his part, God hinted at other life forms in the galaxy.
“There’s got to be a planet of slugs or Mexican jump beans I could watch over,” said G-d. “At least they are making an effort to evolve.”

Get your Exorcise
November 13, 2010
As war and economic woes spread through the world like wildfire, the Catholic Church is ready to help - by finding more exorcists.
Citing a shortage of priests who can perform the rite, the nation’s Roman Catholic bishops are sponsoring a conference on how to conduct exorcisms.
The two-day training, starting Friday in Baltimore, is to outline the scriptural basis of evil, instruct clergy on evaluating whether a person is truly possessed, and review the prayers and rituals that comprise an exorcism. Among the speakers will be Cardinal Daniel DiNardo, archbishop of Galveston-Houston, Texas, and a priest-assistant to New York Archbishop Timothy Dolan.
Two days and you can be an exorcist. McDonalds won’t let you on the fryolator after two days.

Barack Obama preemptively shuts down Federal Government to show bi-partisan side
November 12, 2010
WASHINGTON - Continuing his pattern of negotiating before being at the negotiating table, President Barack Obama shut down the Federal Government today.
“We must work together,” said Obama, on the 16th hole of Pebble Beach. “By shutting down the government right now, we’re showing Republicans that we are open to their suggestions.”
Having won control of the House, Republicans enter the new Congress confident and with one major agenda item - destroy Obama. Noted for his need to have Republicans like him, Obama used an obscure Constitutional law to shut down the federal government, as well as all state and local governments.
“We mean business,” said Obama. “I’m well aware that Republicans want to destroy my Presidency and legacy. It’s time to meet them halfway.”
For their part, Republicans were not pleased.
“Barack Obama’s socialist agenda will not stop with shutting down the government,” said incoming Speaker of the House John Boehner. “Until Obama begins impeachment proceedings on himself, this country will never be safe from terrorist attack.”
Obama Senior Adviser David Axelrod said that the plan for the President to impeach himself is on the table.
“We’re looking at it,” said Axelrod. “All I know is that having the Government open hasn’t helped us at all. We’re open to any and all alternatives that Republicans want so that they’ll play golf with us.”
