Humor Monday Update 6/16/08

 

This Monday the Humor Gang was a little slower on the draw than normal. I attribute this to the the fathers being tired from the rarity of being treated all day on Father's Day and their partners being tired from having to clean up the mess.

However, there's plenty here to get your week off to an amusing start plus excellent prose and poetry as well.

I am only featuring one article today because both the article and the writer are special: McCain Calls Obama Plan to Cap Rainy Weekends Impractical by Con Chapman who shines today. First for this piece from our faux news maven about campaign promises and Second because it was announced today that Con is one of the finalists in the Robert Benchley Humor contest. Bob Newhart will decide the winner. How about them apples? CONGRATULATIONS Con!
