...several years now, JibJab has put together a year in review video, full of the most memorable (and song-friendly) highlights of the previous 365 days. There was 2006's wonderfully titled Nuckin' Futs!, set to the tune of "Jingle Bells." 2007's version was performed to the tune of Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire." And 2008 continues the streak with yet another kinda creepy video starring marionette-like hinged-mouth characters...

They have attacked our rallies and murdered our supporters, and people in the West think we will go easy on them?

But the Bush Administration relied on such supplemental appropriations to fund the wars until 2008, seven years after invading Afghanistan and five years after...
...previous days had the President-elect reliving the pastimes of his youth. On Sunday he joined three friends at 12:30 p.m. for a round of golf at the Olomana Golf Links, a public course near the beachfront vacation home where he is staying. Peter K. Yamashita, general manager of the golf course, said Obama's childhood friend Bobby Titcomb called and told him the President-elect wanted to play a round. Yamashita was worried that the recent wet weather that brought 14 inches of rain to Oahu in one 12-hour period would make it an unattractive place...
