Jon Stewart said tonight that we've hung all our hopes on Barack Obama even though his last name is one letter away from the most hated man in America, and his middle name... He said it'd be like having a candidate like John F. Kennedy, only with the name of "Gaydolph Shitler."

We'll be all out of soldiers by then, I wich I could find a source other than Capital Hill Blue for this:
Pentagon planners this week warned President George W. Bush that his "troop surge" plan could double U.S. casualties in Iraq in the coming year and result in 10,000 or more American deaths by the end of 2008.
In a classified assessment memo, military experts predicted violence against U.S. troops will increase "at a sustained pace" and concluded that increasing the use of soldiers for house to house searches in Baghdad will "dramatically alter" the "ratio of casualties to actions" in that civil-war torn city, says a military source familiar with the memo.
The Pentagon report admitted battle weary soldiers are more prone to mistakes that lead to casualties and noted that military personnel sent to Iraq for third and possibly fourth tours increase the odds that those soldiers will become casualties of war.
The memo concluded that American military deaths could top 6,000 by the end of 2007 and exceed 10,000 or more in 2008 with more than 100,000 wounded and/or maimed for life ...

Oh my.
This year, no such insults will be directed at the President, because the correspondents’ association has hired as entertainment the impressionist Rich Little, who calls himself “basically a Republican,” and whose jokes are reminiscent of Ronald Reagan’s, though without the edge.
Rich Little, like Richard Cohen, assures us that he is funnier than most comedians living today.
If I put the tinfoil helmet on my prediction for 2012 is this: We will still be in Iraq but in some sort of mopping up operation. Something bad is going on about IRaq and some nonmilitary bad stuff is happening, perhaps an epidemic. - Now remove tinfoil helmet. But my earlier predictions from under one have all been correct so far.
