I thought it would be good to have a thread for election and political humour, of all types, as a break from all the other stuff. (Not to displace Don's wonderful story thread, though.)

Twenty-twenty-twenty four hours to go I wanna be sedated

Apparently there have been big problems in Japanese banks recently. In the last 7 days:

 Origami Bank has folded.
 Sumo Bank has gone belly up.
 Bonsai Bank announced plans to cut some of its branches.
 It was announced that Karaoke Bank is up for sale and will likely go for a song.
 Shares in Kamikaze Bank were suspended after they nose-dived.
 500 staff at Karate Bank got the chop.
 Analysts report that there is something fishy going on at Sushi Bank, where it is feared that staff may get a raw deal.

Postponed - Tami's husband was unwell yesterday. All excited about the election, perhaps, as he's a U.S. citizen.

___

"Right now it's a toss up between Barack and Obama." — Jimmy Kimmel on ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"

___

"This is my first election, not sure what supposed do on Election Eve. Are there traditions? So you hang your `chads' over the fireplace? Leave stuff out for your favorite candidate? Maybe a sandwich for Obama. That is a thin man .... McCain, leave him some food, nice warm mug of creamed corn ... Tasty. And you don't need to chew." — Craig Ferguson, CBS'"Late Late Show."

___

"Who are the real winners in this election? Don't ask me. Ask Joe the Plumber's agent." — Stephen Colbert, Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report."

___

"Congratulations to everybody who ran the New York City Marathon yesterday. Good to have you here. And a special congratulations to this year's winner, Joe the Runner." — Letterman.

___

"Did you get any of those annoying robo calls? You know, those phone call recorded messages from the candidates. I got them all weekend. I even got one from Ralph Nader's campaign. Turns out it wasn't recorded. It was Ralph calling personally from a pay phone." — Leno.

___

"Sarah Palin is going to celebrate the end of the campaign. She charged one last $1500 blouse to the campaign. So, got that out of the way." — Letterman.

___

"This weekend at a John McCain rally, Arnold Schwarzenegger said that Barack Obama needs to exercise more because his legs are too skinny. Then he said: `Now behold, the awesome physical specimen that is John McCain!'" — O'Brien.
