Afternoon funnies
Posted by on Wednesday, March 3, 2004 at 5:04 pm

Let’s end the workday on a humorous note. First, the official Bye-ku for Edwards — which, like one of mine, makes use of the “two Americas” concept — from James Taranto’s Best of the Web:

Two Americas:
One prefers President Bush;
One likes John Kerry

Heh. Then there’s this delightful write-up of Dean’s win in Vermont, also from today’s Best of the Web:

This has got to be the most anticlimactic campaign of all time. Howard Dean riled up the Angry Left, rocketed to first place in all the polls, then lost Iowa, screamed, and lost New Hampshire. Then he lost South Carolina and Oklahoma and Arizona and North Dakota and New Mexico! He lost California and Texas and New York! And he lost South Dakota and Oregon and Washington and Michigan! Somewhere along the line he also lost Wisconsin and dropped out of the race. Then he went home to Vermont! And he won!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

Hehehe. (Taranto does note, for accuracy’s sake, that “Dean hasn’t actually lost Texas, South Dakota or Oregon, which vote next Tuesday, June 1 and May 15 respectively. But journalism is the first draft of history, and we’re confident that by the time our final draft is due, history will have caught up to us.” Heh.)

Now that we’ve covered the blogosphere’s most cutting conservative, let’s turn to its snarkiest liberal, Wonkette. In response to Mickey Kaus’s criticisms of exit polling — in which Kaus applied his First Rule of Journalism: “Always Generalize Wildly from Your Own Experience Because You’re Not That Special” — Wonkette turns out a funny satire about, well, chicken.

It won’t make any sense if I excerpt it… so, first read the real thing, and then read Wonkette’s version.

I’m off for home now — but I plan to type up some new blog posts while riding on the bus, so stay tuned this evening! :)
