It’s getting downright biblical out there. The Weekend Desk is on-hand to monitor the developments.
Exodus
America’s troubles deepened this week with news that we face a massive downturn in the previously thriving cheap plastic women sector. Fortunately, the crisis has yet to impact related industries such as tactless douche bags.
Judges
We’d let you write your own punch line on this one, but it’d be awfully hard to improve on the original.
Lamentations
Yes, yes, yes. The Weekend Desk is excited by the prospect of Change and its attendant pageantry like everyone else. But let’s face it. Our job is about to get much more difficult.
Acts
Or perhaps not, as president-elect Obama used his weekly radio address to announce an ambitious scheme to rebuild America’s crumbling infrastructure using Ron Huberman’s magical pony. Hub for Transportation Secretary, anyone?
Revelations

A. Merger
B. Concession
C. Incompetence
D. Sandy Levin
