12:09 - Sense of humor sighted off the port bow

Okay, gotta give credit where it's due. This latest entry in MoveOn.org's blitz is actually rather funny:
"Dear" MoveOn member,
I've commandeered the MoveOn email system to deliver an urgent message from the White House: DO NOT go to one of these MoveOn Pre-Halloween phone parties this weekend!
According to my intelligence briefings, MoveOn members will be calling progressive voters in key congressional districts and asking them to vote. That could tip the election!
These insidious phone parties are all over the place. There's even one right near you. So whatever you do, DO NOT follow the link below to find and R.S.V.P. for a phone party this weekend.

Heck, nobody loves Halloween more than Dubya and myself. We usually like to sit on the White House stoop and hand out subsidies to neighborhood oil companies. But this year, it's is a different story. This is a Code Red emergency!
If these lunatics get their way, you won't even recognize America: Everyone walking around with guaranteed health care, clean energy as far as the eye can see, and big corporations cruelly denied their right to pick who wins elections. Halliburton is so mad they've threatened to cut off my stipend!
So DON'T go to a Call for Change party this weekend and DON'T make any more calls! In fact, if you even think of going to one these parties, I'll take you quail hunting.
See, at least this is so silly that I have to imagine the guys writing it realize they're having fun and reality isn't actually quite this bad. We've been hearing all these same grim accusations delivered with a sullen glower for so long, just hearing them spoken around a tongue planted in-cheek almost qualifies as a relief.
