Lot of people review the year at the end of it. We here at IMAO.US like to beat the rush.
2006 In Review, So Far.
Judge Samuel Alito was confirmed and sworn in as a Justice in the Supreme Court. For the first time in history the number of women on the bench went down. This after a long torturous series of Senate hearings during which Democrats on the committee felt dishonor bound to make major league donkeys out of themselves. A filibuster was attempted but was completely ineffective and many of us laughed heartily at them trying. HAH!
Iran announced they are developing ‘peaceful’ nuclear ‘power’. The reason they want this is obvious. There is practically no energy of any kind in that nation. I mean, the sun doesn’t even shine there. To top things off black sticky stuff runs out of the ground causing everybody’s feet to stick. Iranians admit a reactor meltdown could possible irradiate Israel. If this doesn’t happen in a reasonable time frame, other nuclear options are being refined.
At long last a crack team of “Where’s Waldo” enthusiasts located a photo that showed convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff in the same room with George W Bush, finally proving conclusively that they are, in fact, not the same person.

Cartoons published in the Danish pess depicting Mohammed have infuriated many members of the Religion Of Peace (ROP) causing a vast letter writing campaign across the Arab world which eventually led them to convene a Blue Ribbon panel to reconsider their nickname. On the list of proposed new nicknames:
* Religion of Irony
* Religion of Don’t Piss Us Off
* Religion of Death to Israel, Death to America, Death to all Who do not Submit to Sharia Law
The last one has wide appeal but most Muslims wouldn’t be able to afford the bumper sticker.
V.P.Richard Cheney shot a lawyer in the face. He compounded this mistake by failing to report the incident to the media, and instead selfishly sought medical treatment for this friend. The major media outlets felt robbed of a scoop, they got no pictures of cheney holding the gun. Despite heart trouble the media was not able to downgrade Cheney from mean and carelss and drunk to murderer.
Civil unrest in Iraq erupted when someone who wanted the Shia majority mad at the Sunni minority blew up a bomb at the golden dome. Sunni said what are you nuts? we know you have us outnumbered?, We’ll pay to repair it just quit killing us.” And civil war was averted.
Other things happened in politics but they are not listed here.
