Updated edition of "Political Comedy for Dummies": now with McCain and Obama!

Comedians, start hacking today!

Politico reports that David Letterman's recent Top Ten List, "Top Ten Signs Barack Obama is Overconfident," (including such zingers as Obama proposing to change the name of Oklahoma to "Oklobama" and measuring his head for Mount Rushmore) is a sign that the Obama comedy barrier has been broken. His Achilles' heel has been found: he's cocky.

All right, political comedians. We have our comedy memes for the general election. McCain is old, Obama is cocky. The updated version of Political Humor for Dummies is being rushed into production, but we have an advance copy right here. Enjoy the old Table of Contents below, followed by the updated chapters for McCain and Obama.
