From The Onion, America's Finest News Source, come two reports of the Obama victory.
The first:
November 5, 2008
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."
And the second: "Nation Finally Shitty Enough To Make Social Progress."
Such brilliant satire. Suitable for framing.
