Unsurprisingly the end of days for Bushco is also a time when a lot of old stories are suddenly resurfacing. Like the American missionary family shot down by Peruvian fighters in 2001. About which Congress has just learned that the CIA lied to them and withheld information from the DOJ.

Most of Congress is just now learning that Fr. Daniel Coughlin, the current House chaplain, “formerly oversaw a retreat outside Chicago where troubled priests were sent, including those accused of sexual misconduct.”  A more cynical person might not wonder if the Catholic Church in America wasn’t sending a pedophile enabler to Congress to quietly lobby for more tolerance for reformed buggerers.

The best new rumor to spread:

The American auto industry could be saved if automakers ran an email campaign warning that the dangerous socialist Barack Obama is going to outlaw the internal combustion engine. The goobers would be lined up at the dealers the next the morning trying to buy as many cars as they could park in their front yards… next to the ones already up on blocks.

Not to mention giving my creativity a workout by coming up with new strategies for inserting Nasser Kazeminy into the post.
