Colbert Style

One of my favorite parts of the Colbert Report is "Tip of the Hat, Wag of the Finger."  So with that said...

Tip of the Hat to The United States of America for electing it's first black president Barack Obama.  How exciting to be a part of something so historic!  Three cheers for America for taking a giant leap forward!!!

And...

A Wag of the Finger to the state of Alaska.  Who on earth would reelect Sen. Ted Stevens...a convicted felon?!  Moral standards alone should prevent people from voting for him no matter what he has "done for Alaska."  So, a big slap "upside the head" (as they say in Texas) for the state of Alaska.

(Side note:  Yes, I am aware that all of the votes are not counted in Alaska yet, but this is just a preemptive post for the  inevitable and disheartening outcome.)
