“City strewn with perverts” made me chuckle, and the Fox News/National Weather Service one made me roll me eyes. Onion-esque, to the max.

How much better can you get? The one about Extra-Terrestrials got me to thinking that is because they are all in the White House. Because they all look the same they don’t recognize each other.
Merry Christmas.

Wasn’t that an episode of “The Simpsons,” during the Clinton/Dole campaign, where they both turned out to be from the same faction of evil aliens?
Merry Christmas yourself!
