Ahhhh...politics!
You have no idea how amused I am to find that it looks like Alaska re-elected Ted Stevens, Convicted Felon!
LOL.
Now, that really is a teflon candidate.
I have to say, if I were an Alaskan, that sort of thing makes sense: sure, he's a crook, but look at all the benefits he got the state over the years. They are swimming in pork he got them...the man is a go-getter for his state. So pragmatically, it makes sense. Still. ROFL.
Also, this The Onion article made me laugh and laugh:
Black Man Given Nation's Worst Job
WASHINGTON-African-American man Barack Obama, 47, was given the least-desirable job in the entire country Tuesday when he was elected president of the United States of America. In his new high-stress, low-reward position, Obama will be charged with such tasks as completely overhauling the nation's broken-down economy, repairing the crumbling infrastructure, and generally having to please more than 300 million Americans and cater to their every whim on a daily basis. As part of his duties, the black man will have to spend four to eight years cleaning up the messes other people left behind. The job comes with such intense scrutiny and so certain a guarantee of failure that only one other person even bothered applying for it. Said scholar and activist Mark L. Denton, "It just goes to show you that, in this country, a black man still can't catch a break."
