I'm not ready to characterize this Obama hype as “premature” but yesterday I saw his face on a $10 bill.

P.S. I felt guilty about doing a blog post with only one joke in it, so here's some more for you.

I spent a happy evening yesterday catching up with an infamous online publication called The Onion. If you're not familiar with The Onion you're in for a treat. Basically The Onion is a fake newspaper specializing in satirical news and observational humor.

I have become totally obsessed with the style of Onion headlines. Here are some I thought up in the shower this morning:

• Putin resumes Cold War after watching James Bond marathon
• Shamefaced hipster caught watching local news
• U.S. Post Office announces Obama stamp
• Clinton reserves space on 2008 Supreme Court docket
• Cheating husband sends love poem to Russian spammer
• Wonkette editor fired for non-ironic Drudge link
• Half-dead ivy plots revenge against neglectful owner
• Mayor forms commission to recall rain prayers
• Norse gods announce membership drive
• Snape estate sues Rowling for defamation, emotional distress
• Lubbock Online employee regrets Hot Pocket purchase
• MySpace becomes sentient, deletes self in shame
• Xbox profile interpreted as cry for help
• Neglected Warcraft character gains 40 pounds

And here's one that only works as a picture caption:

• Alien invaders compare teeth in Kzinti recognition ritual
