resignation.

OK, I made all that up. Sorry. But with everything I'm reading I wouldn't be surprised to see that next. Jeeeeezuz, I do believe I've finally gone through the looking glass, and it's not nearly as cool as I thought it would be.

You may now return to you regularly scheduled pogram.

19. Lol. Well, I'll have to disagree with Superduperleftishness below. That *was* funny! And apparently
I'm not alone in finding it so. My post wasn't intended to be funny as much as "WTF is next?" Truly, these days I feel like Alice through the looking glass.*

But had I tried, I couldn't have written anything as good as the Borowitz piece. Thanks for the link. The front page there today:

Obama Agrees to Extend Republicans’ Custody of his Balls
Formalizes Existing Arrangement, President Says


WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report) – In an effort to end what he called “the bickering and rancor in Washington,” President Barack Obama agreed today to extend Republicans’ custody of his balls for an additional two years.

“I know my critics are going to make a big deal out of this,” the President told reporters at the White House. “But all this does is formalize an arrangement that was already in place.”

Mr. Obama said that extending Republican custody of his balls through 2012 “was like the Holy Grail for them, but I’m keeping my eyes on the North Star,” adding, “I have no idea what any of that means.”

Moments after the two-year transfer of Mr. Obama’s family jewels was announced, Vice President Joe Biden defended the President against critics from his own party: “I know he’s going to catch a lot of heat for this, but what he did took cojones.”

Read the last two paragraphs here: http://www.borowitzreport.com/
The closing line is worth it. (At least it'll be funny to those who were amused by the previous piece.)
*******************************************************************************************************************

*By this time it was getting light. `The crow must have flown away, I think,' said Alice: `I'm so glad it's gone. I thought it was the night coming on.'

`I wish I could manage to be glad!' the Queen said. `Only I never can remember the rule. You must be very happy, living in this wood, and being glad whenever you like!'

`Only it is so very lonely here!' Alice said in a melancholy voice; and, at the thought of her loneliness, two large tears came rolling down her cheeks.

`Oh, don't go on like that!' cried the poor Queen, wringing her hands in despair. `Consider what a great girl you are. Consider what a long way you've come to-day. Consider what o'clock it is. Consider anything, only don't cry!'

Alice could not help laughing at this, even in the midst of her tears. `Can you keep from crying by considering things?' she asked.

`That's the way it's done,' the Queen said with great decision: `nobody can do two things at once, you know. Let's consider your age to begin with -- how old are you?'

`I'm seven and a half, exactly.'

`You needn't say "exactly",' the Queen remarked. `I can believe it without that. Now I'll give you something to believe. I'm just one hundred and one, five months and a day.'

`I ca'n't believe that!' said Alice.

`Ca'n't you?' the Queen said in a pitying tone. `Try again: draw a long breath, and shut your eyes.'

Alice laughed. `There's no use trying,' she said `one ca'n't believe impossible things.'

`I daresay you haven't had much practice,' said the Queen. `When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast

20. We came to a compromise. I was now born in Kenya.
In exchange, the Republicans have agreed to admit that babies come from women for 13 months.
