Quickies: Thanksgiving Break Edition

I'm on break so this is all you're getting...

• Former Republican House Majority Leader, Tom DeLay, convicted on all counts.  This should come as a shock to no one.
• Fox News, the beacon of journalistic excellence that it is, runs with a story from The Onion about President Obama without mentioning anywhere in the article that The Onion is a satire site and the story about the president was fake.  
• Republican Senator Jon Kyl slipped $200 million into a bill meant to have nothing to do with Kyl's earmarked funding.  Don't call it an earmark though.  Remember Republicans redefined what an earmark was shortly after promising to ban all earmarks.
• More proof the Obama stimulus package rescued America from the brink of economic disaster.
• This week's Thanksgiving edition of the right wing conspiracy theory in America: Pilgrims came to America to flee the satanic evils of socialism.  [not a link to The Onion either]
