28 NOV 08: I'VE GOT SOME SPAM FOR OBAMA

Did I miss it - or did Barack Obama NOT hold a news conference Thursday? I saw his taped Thanksgiving message. But I almost expected the President-elect to be on live TV again - to keep showing conservatives he's not lazy and shiftless.

SPAM-A-RAMA: In this election year, we've received all sorts of spam messages with political themes. Today we salute the victor - with TRUE titles of e-mails about Barack Obama, and how we reacted to them....

"LATEST POLLS SHOW OBAMA IN LEAD"

There's still three weeks left to persuade those Electoral College delegates.

"OBAMA RECOMMENDS POWER ENLARGE"

Well, he IS a Democrat - and John McCain practically declared him a Socialist.

"SCANDAL ROCKS OBAMA AS LURID SEX VIDEO LEAKED"

Aw, c'mon - I do NOT think Oprah Winfrey is competing to be First Lady.

"OBAMA'S KARMA OVER SLIP OF TONGUE"

Really? When did he call God "Allah?"

"DEMOCRATS WITHDRAW OBAMA FROM RACE"

If Mrs. Clinton could be a U.S. Senator, why not the President's wife?

"TICKER: GIULIANI SAYS OBAMA SHOWS INEXPERIENCE"

At least he has more experience in winning Presidential primaries.

"McCAIN ACCUSES MEDIA OF BIAS TOWARD OBAMA"

This must have reached us before Election Day -- because Sarah Palin has received much more coverage since then.

"OBAMA ENGAGES RAPPERS IN ELECTION AID"

Imagine if one of them had been named White House Press Secretary. Now THAT would a briefing worth watching.

"CLINTON NAMED TO TOP POST BY OBAMA"

In the summer, this would have been a funny joke.

"OBAMA HAS MIDDLE EASTERN DESCENT"

Well, he had to get off the plane in Iraq somehow.

"OBAMA SLINGS MUD AT McCAIN"

I didn't know they played basketball together in the Capitol gym.

"BRITNEY SPEARS APPLIES FOR BARACK OBAMA MASSEUSE JOB"

Now hold on - I thought I read the President-elect's daughters were going to do chores at the White House.

"EXCLUSIVE: BARACK OBAMA CAN FLY THROUGH THE AIR LIKE THAT GUY ON HER...."

Then why didn't he do it when the race was close, to prove he's the superior candidate?

"OBAMA FOUND DEAD IN SHOCK ACCIDENT"

So all you Democrats should remain in mourning until Tuesday night, then vote on Wednesday.

"OBAMA CAUGHT HOT"

He really should wear a T-shirt, when he's body-surfing in Hawaii.

BIG PREDICTIONS: Georgia Tech surprises Georgia this weekend. Alabama beats Auburn in the Iron Bowl. And sadly, Missouri will beat Kansas - so the K.U. Orange Bowl T-shirt from my brother will no longer be worn simply merely for special events.
