Senators are pressing President-elect Obama to allow the Air Force to continue buying F-22 Raptor fighter jets…

A group of 44 senators — 25 Democrats and 19 Republicans — sent Obama a letter with the request. Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.), a defense authorizer who represents a state where Lockheed Martin builds the fighter plane, and Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), a defense appropriator whose state is home to Boeing’s operations, headlined the letter.

Hey, senators! Take my word on it. It's not gonna work. Trust me.

I am constantly trying to get people to buy F-22 Raptor fighter jets, but they always end up going for something "more reasonable." Like a Kia or somthing.

People are so fucking boring.

Garnering 57.5% of the two million Georganians who bothered to vote, incumbent Sen. Saxby Chambliss — according to incumbent Sen. Saxby Chambliss — represents the return to conservative values that America has so craved since the crushing defeat of conservative values one month ago…

"You have delivered tonight a strong message to the world that conservative Georgia values matter [in the state of Georgia]," he said.

"You have delivered a message that a balance of government in Washington is necessary, and that's not only what [2.9 percent of] the people of Georgia want but what [0.02 percent of] the people of America want."

You can't argue with numbers like that. Today truly is a great day for the conservative movement.

But why exactly did such an overwhelming fraction of the people of America reject the failed policies of the not-yet-inaugurated Obama administration?

"If you can't have a little back-and-forth arguing between the parties, then the party in power will make mistakes," said Ron Zukowski, a computer expert in Atlanta who voted for Mr. Chambliss. "This was my chance to say no, and I said no."

Luckily, now, thanks to Mr. Zukowski's "Power of No," the American people will be spared of four years of a government that makes any mistakes.

Welcome to the Golden Age.

"I am Jim Martin, and I'm sure I'm going to lose."

Update: I am not Jim Martin, and I am sure that he did lose.

Saxby Chambliss explains how this all-but-inevitable win for the GOP proves that America is already tired of Change and is tipping back toward social conservatotalitarianism.

* Saxby Chambliss and other guy somehow failing to capture voters' excitement.

* Fox News asks the question everyone else is afraid to ask: Can Sarah Palin still win this election for John McCain?

* Al Franken now poised to lose by even slimmer margin.

* George Bush refuses to set timetable for withdrawal from your crotch.

* White House Christmas tree weighs in, calls for Bush impeachment.

* Oh, wait. Nevermind.

You might think Chambliss's Senate challenger Jim Martin would be wise to pounce on this and insinuate the Georgia Republican is a child molester, but that would be classless. It would just lower the discourse.

No, Martin should take the high road here and just cut some ads associating Chambliss with Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein.

We'll have a very special Thanksgiving challenge up shortly.

* Lame duck sessions suck. But maybe if they were stuffed inside a chicken and a turkey… And then all wrapped up in bacon… Oh, that's the spot.

* Basil at IMAO: Bail out the Big Three up north or build a fence around the South to keep all the unemployed Democrats out.

* Mo Rocca: Who would make a better teacher for the Obama girls: Mrs. Garrett or Edna Krabappel?

* Asking, telling: Still frowned upon by upcoming Obama administration.

* 23/6's Lee Camp: Ten questions that must be asked of Barack Obama before he's sworn in.

* Saxby Chambliss is camera shy.

* Al Franken closing in on Norm Coleman, according to Franken's personal brand of math.

* Patton Oswalt speaks (briefly) about election night blogging here on Indy.

* SNL looking for an actual black guy to play the kind of black guy.

While Democratic challenger Jim Martin is forced to make due with a team of "Obama surrogates," Chambliss has mobilized so many A-List Republicans, you'd think Terri Schiavo had moved to Georgia.

Among the GOP stars due to appear…

John McCain
What He Brings to the Table: 52% of the Georgia vote.  Tell-all stories about Joe the Plumber.
What's in It for Him: Opportunity to prove he is still alive.

Sarah Palin
What She Brings to the Table: The concession speech she believed she'd get to deliver for McCain.
What's in It for Her: If she can destroy Chambliss's campaign as well, that's one less challenger for 2012.

Mike Huckabee
What He Brings to the Table: The TV star power of Oprah Winfrey, if Oprah were a white, southern ex-governor who built an entire career on weight loss.
What's in It for Him: The chance that someone might let him play "Free Bird" again.

Mitt Romney
What He Brings to the Table: Money. Otherwise he wouldn't be invited.
What's in It for Him: More press footage of himself he can masturbate to.

Rudy Giuliani
What He Brings to the Table: The missing link between Jim Martin and the 9/11 terrorists.
What's in It for Him: Doesn't matter. We already know he's willing to give up his reputation, his career and $59 million for one measly delegate.

And if for some reason the runoff drags all the way out to 2012, Chambliss will have no problem assembling the same cast of characters.  He can just set up a TV camera in Iowa and watch this crowd come racing like flies to a turd.
