We made it.

Folks,

I don’t know how, but we managed to survive these past eight years of utter hell. In just a few short days, we shall usher in a new administration. And with it, a new era of complete thoughts, technically correct sentence structure and better-than-average pronunciation of words that actually exist in the English dictionary.

In honor of this momentous occasion, please enjoy this visual retrospective, courtesy of Mr. David Letterman. And as these last waning hours of the Bush presidency unfold, I hope you join me in asking the question that may perhaps go unanswered until the end of time as we know it…

What the fuck is a recruitament?

As always, a little nudge…

I need go potty.

And now…the dumbest thing ever said by a human being in the history of the world.

Drum roll, please…

Obama thinks he is a good talker, but he is often undisciplined when he speaks. He needs to understand that as President, his words will be scrutinized and will have impact whether he intends it or not. In this regard, President Bush is an excellent model; Obama should take a lesson from his example. Bush never gets sloppy when he is speaking publicly. He chooses his words with care and precision, which is why his style sometimes seems halting. In the eight years he has been President, it is remarkable how few gaffes or verbal blunders he has committed. If Obama doesn’t raise his standards, he will exceed Bush’s total before he is inaugurated.

Emphasis mine. Responsibility for sudden tear in timespace continuum his.

Quote of the day.

From a reader at TPM:

I can’t believe Obama is already sitting down with an unpopular, aggressive world leader without preconditions.

Barney lashes out.  Can you blame him?  A newer, cuter, fluffier puppy is moving in.  Yes we can.

My favorite part is the sassy commentary.
