  A couple of funny parody articles from the Onion (there is, however, always truth in parody):

  Black Man Given Nation’s Worst Job

  Voting Machines Elect One Of Their Own As President

  And, a title article with an undesirable and unprintable (in this blog) word, but truly funny:

  Everyone keeps saying the first African American President. This is not true he’s half white. If anything he’s the first Mulatto President.

  Almost everyone will continue to call him the first African-American (or black) president. Live with it.

  Almost everyone but NOT everyone. So you live with it. Does the truth hurt. It was not an attack just stating the truth or does this show what you and Obama think about the white half.

  HEADLINE!
  Obama elected: Stock Market Tanks!

  NEW YORK - A case of post-election nerves sent Wall Street plunging Wednesday as investors absorbed a stream of bad economic news and wondered how a Barack Obama presidency will help the country weather a possibly severe recession. Volatility returned to the market, with the Dow Jones industrials falling nearly 500 points and all the major indexes tumbling more than 5 percent.

  The market was expected to give back some gains after a six-day run-up that lifted the Standard & Poor’s 500 index more than 18 percent. But investors lost their recent confidence about the economy and began dumping stocks again

  snuss. Somehow I knew you would be lying in the grass waiting to take your cheap shots after Obama won. The stock market is down 37% since its high 1 year ago. It was only down 4% today, not 5%. All of this can be blamed on the 8 years of GWB’s failed economic policies. It will probably continue to go down a lot more, until the shrub is gone and his policies can be changed.

  I hate to say it, but, to be honest, there is blame to go back twenty years and better leading to this. Congress wanted to smash Glass-Stegall since President Reagan took office.

  Quote: “All of this can be blamed on the 8 years of GWB’s failed economic policies.”

  We didn’t have any significant problems until AFTER Democrats took control of Congress in 2006. Their approval ratings were much lower than the President’s.
