A Nation Unhinged
Election spurs 'hundreds' of race threats, crimes
Cross burnings. Schoolchildren chanting "Assassinate Obama." Black figures hung from nooses. Racial epithets scrawled on homes and cars. Incidents around the country referring to President-elect Barack Obama are dampening the postelection glow of racial progress and harmony, highlighting the stubborn racism that remains in America.
From California to Maine, police have documented a range of alleged crimes, from vandalism and vague threats to at least one physical attack. Insults and taunts have been delivered by adults, college students and second-graders. There have been "hundreds" of incidents since the election, many more than usual, said Mark Potok, director of the Intelligence Project at the Southern Poverty Law Center, which monitors hate crimes....

Frank Rich slams the bailout:
Oh wait...that was David Brooks, talking about what Democrats from Barack Obama to Nancy Pelosi want, with regard to General Motors, Chrysler, and Ford. But by all means, if it helps you get your outrage on, imagine that it were Republicans and banks...
Republicans from George W. Bush to John Boehner want to grant immortality to Washington Mutual, Wachovia and AIG. They have decided to follow an earlier $25 billion loan with a $50 billion bailout, which would inevitably be followed by more billions later, because if these companies are not permitted to go bankrupt now, they never will be.

Fung with an Amstel Light...yeah, dude, sure we believe it was Photoshopped...
Eagles rookie Jack Ikegwuonu was identified in a photo on Facebook with what appears to be a "bong" and other possible drug-related items. The photo has since been removed from Facebook, but Profootballtalk has it. Ikegwuonu, who is spending his rookie year on IR, also appears to have a straw and white powder is visible on a glass table in front of him. The photo was on Ikewguonu's sister's Facebook page. She says she Photoshopped it.

Great Alaska Shootout struggles to attract elite teams
Years ago, the Great Alaska Shootout was one of the country's premier Thanksgiving basketball tournaments, attracting many of the nation's best teams.
Today, it's struggling to stay afloat.
High-profile teams earning more and more to play at a ballooning number of similar tournaments threaten the 30-year-old Shootout like never before. Since 2004, the number of exempt tournaments has nearly tripled from 28 to 82.
It's why UAF's Top of the World Classic folded last month. And it's why this year's Shootout has its weakest field ever, with San Diego State, Portland State, Hampton, Northern Illinois, Louisiana Tech and Western Carolina joining UAA...

Like many others who have served in President George W. Bush's administration -- among them former Secretary of State Colin Powell and former Treasury chief Paul O'Neill -- Paulson, 62, will leave office casting a smaller shadow than when he arrived.

5 million people to rehearse for California's big earthquake
At exactly 10 a.m. tomorrow, about 5 million people in Southern California will drop to the ground, take cover under a sturdy piece of furniture and hold on at the same time. Radio stations and school p.a. systems will play a sound track of rumbling and crashing, along with a man's voice declaring, "If this were the magnitude 7.8 earthquake we're practicing for today, you would be experiencing sudden and intense back-and-forth motions of up to 6 ft. per second. The floor or the ground would jerk sideways out from under you. Look around and imagine."....

[insert own joke here] (cont'd)
With the 2008 election season over, Rep. Jerry Moran wasted little time taking the next step in his likely bid for higher office.
The western Kansas Republican filed paperwork Friday that allows him to accept contributions for a U.S. Senate campaign.
Moran, of Hays, has been telling constituents for months that he plans to seek the seat being vacated in 2010 by Republican Sam Brownback.

Did anyone else notice that the backwards Bush clock counts down to midnight? I'm almost certain the handover happens later in the day. Perhaps morning, perhaps afternoon. But it's certainly not at midnight. Anyone want to tackle fixing that? The clock is ticking...

Obama win triggers run on guns
Buyers said to fear crackdown on their rights, civil unrest, darky
HOUSTON — A week after the election of Barack Obama, gun buyers across the country are voting with their feet, flocking to gun stores to stock up on assault rifles, handguns and ammunition.
Some say they are worried that the incoming Obama administration will attempt to reimpose the ban on assault weapons that expired in 2004. Others fear the loss of their right to own handguns. A few say they are preparing to protect themselves in the event of a race war.
But whatever the reason, gun dealers in red and blue states alike say they've never seen anything like the run on weaponry they've been experiencing since Election Day— surpassing even the panic buying in the days after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

Constitutional amendment could allow Vladimir Putin to stay in power for decades
MOSCOW -- As if to counter the mood of democratic change in the United States, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev yesterday launched a constitutional amendment that would allow him and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin to remain the legal leaders of Russia, with little chance for challenge, through the next two decades.
The change, introduced in the State Duma, raises the presidential term of office to six years from four, beginning with the next president. It would allow Mr. Putin, who stepped down from the presidency this year after he reached the constitutional two-consecutive-term limit, to run again in 2012 or 2016 for two more terms totalling 12 years. Officials close to Mr. Putin say he will likely do so.
That change, along with other proposals that would make it extremely difficult for political parties other than Mr. Putin's United Russia to put up top-level candidates in elections, virtually guarantees the reign of Mr. Putin - widely considered to be the true leader behind Mr. Medvedev's presidency - either as prime minister or president for a period that could last as long as 22 more years.

Survey: nearly a quarter of the people you meet exhibit almost no brain activity and are unresponsive to any external stimuli
News item: Seventy-six percent of those questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Monday disapprove of how George W. Bush is handling his job as President. That's an all-time high in CNN polling, or in Gallup polling dating back to World War II.

Scott Boras claims that free agent Mark Teixeira has generated interest from more teams than the super-agent "can negotiate with." "I'm going to have to sit down with Mark and Leigh, his wife," Boras said. "I'm going to have to limit the number of teams that we can actually deal with because there's that kind of interest in him." The free agent signing period begins Friday. Expect Boras to drag this one out all winter.
