If you are doing "indictment watch" like I am, you will most definitely find this not only amusing, but full belly laugh hilarious...

Hey, did you hear how USNews is reporting on rumors that Cheney will be resigning?

And, did ya hear about John Hannah???  No, not that one.

And, hey, did you know RawStory is such a tease? And Judy is a whore?

And, did you know that we're just hours (all right,maybe a couple days) away from FITZMAS????  Doesn't it feel like the hap-happiest time of the year?? 

And...and...don't 'cha just feel like you're going to exploooooooooooode?

"Ten Tips For Dealing With Fitzmas" in the post continuation, only because it contains some "possibly offensive" language and I'd hate to offend anyone ;)

TEN TIPS FOR DEALING WITH FITZMAS
  1. Put down the caffeine:
    For the next 48 hours, cleanse your body of java, aspartame, splenda,
    and whatever other shit you've been putting in your system. Your body
    will be producing more adrenaline during Fitzmas than it did when you
    were a hormone-crazed teenager, so don't fuel the fire.
  2.   "Refresh" is the AntiChrist:
    Resist the urge to press "refresh" every TWO SECONDS. Checking into
    Drudge every minute won't make any indictments come any faster..it'll
    just give him hits and make Drudge's head swell even more. Eww. I put
    "Drudge" and "swell" and "head" in the same sentence. I just grossed
    myself out.
  3.   Gossip Folks:
    Don't believe anything in the next 24-48 hours. Guess what!! I can
    report on my blog that Condi will be VP when Dick resigns...and because
    it's on a blog, it must be true! And my scoop will
    fly through the internets at twice the speed of sound and I'll be so
    convincing, Condi herself will hear my scoop and think "Shit. I need new shoes!"
    and next thing you know New York Daily News will be reporting that
    Condi was in NY shopping for Jimmy Choo shoes that look
    "Vice-Presidential" and Teresa Heinz passed her by and called her a
    "bitch." Get my point?
  4. Turn off the TV:  Why submit yourself to the torture of watching The Situation Room
    and listening to Wolf's
    "I'm-reading-a-script-but-I'm-trying-to-make-it-sound-live" voice in
    the hopes that some pundit will throw out something like "Rove will be
    indicted"? You all KNOW that the talking heads don't know shit, and
    that their dirty little secret is that they really get their info from
    the, gasp!, blogs, so why waste your time? So, Kristol says
    Rove and Libby will be indicted. Um...99% of the pajamajadeen have said
    the same thing for the last couple months. Give your blood pressure a
    break and turn off the TV.
  5. Don't listen to Tip #7:
    Well, do turn off the TV, but turn it on for Scotty's press
    conferences. Nothing eases the nerves and apprehension of indictments
    than watching Puffy McMoonface squirm as he fends off a resuscitated
    press corps. With Scotty spinning so fast, you KNOW there's some
    serious shit going down.
  1. Don't take off of work tomorrow:
    Yes, there are some of you who would actually skip work or school to
    stay home and catch the indictments breaking live. I've confessed to
    being a Plamegate junkie, but please. Those of you who view CSPAN as
    political porn need to put things into perspective. The indictments may
    not break tomorrow...and then what? You spent a whole day, one
    hand repeatedly refreshing dkos and drudge, the other hand holding a
    remote and flipping channels between CNN and MSNBC and, gulp,
    FOX, flipping and flipping and flipping and it'll all be for naught. So
    treat tomorrow just like any other day, use school and work as a
    distraction...and, um, did you hear blogging more than once a day can
    make you go blind?
  2. Visit Freeperville:
    Watch the tension melt away as you read about how Wilson was the
    leaker, how Fitzgerald is really a closet Dem fucking Hillary at the
    Watergate hotel, and how Plame orchestrated all this just to get name
    recognition for 2008. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you might even throw up
    in your mouth a little bit. But it'll be a great distraction from the
    anticipation of Fitzmas.
  3. Lower Your Expectations:
    Hey, it worked for Laura Bush. Don't expect too much from this. We
    don't know what was said in that grand jury room; about all we know
    definitively is that Karl Rove has a "typical" garage. Fantasies of
    Cheney being indicted and Bush as unindicted coconspirator are just
    that at this point--fantasies. Trust the Fitz to do what's right based
    on the evidence, and trust that the result will be as far as he was
    legally able to go.
  4. Stockpile the Booze:
    Ok, you've lowered your expectations, but sheesh, don't be downer. No
    matter what comes down, these next days couple be explosive. So chill
    the Cristal (or the Guiness) and get ready. Also, compile a list of all
    the emails of your most die-hard GOP friends. Plan on sending them
    emails after the indictments, preferably after you've depleted your liquor reserves.
  5. Enjoy the moment:
    Take a DEEP breath, and savor the fact that you're witnessing history
    being made. The outing of Plame was a vicious act, but nothing will be
    as sweet as watching justice being served.

As usual, Georgia10, always makes me smile! Thank you!
