Snark: It's What's for Dinner
Above all else here at the Daily Aneurysm, we love being snarky. So here's an all-snark post to get it out of our system for the weekend.
Be sure to read Wonkette's report from the White House Press Corps Christmas party, and a commentary from Wonkette's stand-in, "Joe Klein," who presents his list of five things he wishes she had said to the president.
Nothing makes a better snark target than America's sexual obsessions. If you'd like to start looking back at 2004 a few days early, here's Salon's Rebecca Traister on "a year of monumentally bad sex."
Each year, The Onion presents its annual Cheap Toy Roundup, which is utterly snark-o-riffic. Wonder Woman Crazy Foam and the WWE Septic Sludge Medical Mess will leave you in awe, but of what I can't say. Either the creative capabilities of the human species, or the utter gall required to think that somebody could be persuaded to part with actual spendin' cabbage for the stuff.
Our final snarky link comes thanks to my brother Dan (who is not the White House flack of the same name, because if he was, I'd have had to kill him years ago). It's an extensive comparison of red state culture versus blue. Blue states have better drivers, better educated populations, and better sports teams, among other things. Snarky mostly in its cumulative effect.
One More Thing: If you haven't voted in the semifinals of the Most Loathsome Conservative of the Year contest, please do. Votes don't carry over from the quarterfinals, so it's a whole new game.
