Honorable Mention

4) (Tom Blogical) – “Where’s the KA-Boom? There was supposed to be an earth-shattering KA-Boom!“

5) (Margo Demers) – “Using modern technology, wishful thinking and special rose-colored glasses, hundreds of liberals watch a re-broadcast of the 2000 election results. AlGore wins.“
