You know, I was thinking that one of the downsides of the Obama presidency is that there won't be the "oh my god what now" excitement of the Clinton years or the late-night snarkiness and cheapshots we've become used to with Bush and Cheney. Comics will be afraid to mock - too easy to step over the PC line - and Obama won't be doing just plain stupid or irresponsible things to allow easy hits.
Maybe we need a good dose of dull. Better we should make fun of Britanny and Paris. Or Chris Matthews and Olberman ...

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
