In case you’ve been living under a $25 billion bailout, you already know that the governors of America (including Sarah “I’m Not Going Back To Alaska” Palin) and Barack Obama are here, wreaking havoc on traffic patterns — NO PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC ON THE 500 BLOCK OF CHESTNUT WHATSOEVER, WHAT ARE YOU, A TERRORIST? — and falling over themselves to strike just the right tone of “We are all so very fucked.” The vibe we’re getting is Obama is basically like Dad sitting in the kitchen on the day before New Year’s Eve, with the governors basically being the at-home-on-break college kids, saying, “Hey Dad! Nice kitchen! Look, I was wondering if… well maybe… tomorrow night is the big party… and I could really use some money to go out… and… OH THANK YOU DAD!” Which is fine — and definitely necessary (NUTTER PLEASE YOU BETTER BE RUNNING THIS GAME ON THE SIDE, TOO, YOUNG MAN) — but we’re just wondering: How does this interaction go between Obama and Palin? After all, Obama “pals around with terrorists!” And Lil’ Sarah KNOWS IT! Does she have Uncle Eddy sit at the table as a go-between, even though everybody knows Uncle Eddy kinda hates her, too? Ah, family and the holidays. Let the healing begin. Or not.
