	&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In his 6,523rd career game, EDGARTRON-3000 led the Robot Mariners to their landmark 65,536th consecutive win Friday night against the Los Angeles Sheep-Clone Angels.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As usual, the team scored precisely 23,145.0 runs in a perfectly precise execution of baseball.  The nine-inning romp included an average of 642.9167 home runs by each of the nine electronic players as the team extended its league-leading record to 3.91*10&lt;sup&gt;75&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr style="clear: both;"&gt;

	&lt;img src="http://nakedloon.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/tax-the-rich-to-death-thumb.jpg" alt="Oppressive Tax on Loathed Minority Set for Easy Passage" /&gt;
	&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Facing an unprecedented $9 billion budget shortfall, legislators in Olympia are scrambling to find new sources of revenue to sustain the drunken spending spree of the past four years.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Now thanks to some quick thinking by Senate Majority Leader Lisa Brown, cuts in popular programs such as after school basket weaving for inner-city toddlers will likely be avoided as an oppressive tax on an unpopular minority heads for easy passage.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr style="clear: both;"&gt;

	&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After having houses languish unsold on the market for over a year, the marketer of Grove Cypress, a 15-home development in south Snohomish County, has discovered the key to finding buyers for the remaining $500,000 houses: street balloons.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;"We've tried banners, flags, sandwich boards, arrow sign wavers... the works," said Ron Freeman, Grove Cypress lead marketer.  "I think the balloons will really do the trick."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr style="clear: both;"&gt;

	&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At the conclusion of a specially-convened 48-hour summit this weekend, the United Nations narrowly passed a resolution declaring an official end to the worldwide economic crisis.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The resolution states that if the complete and utter collapse of the world economy refuses to cease all its financial destruction programs and allow UN inspectors to verify the termination thereof, it runs the risk of bearing the full brunt of further resolutions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr style="clear: both;"&gt;

	&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In a decisive and timely move during an emergency special session Saturday night, the Kirkland city council voted unanimously to pass Ordinance 4188, which prohibits any further layoffs at any company within the city limits.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;"As the economic crisis continues deepen, Kirkland simply cannot afford to be marred by the destructive connotations associated with layoffs," said Kirkland Mayor James Lauinger in a prepared statement.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr style="clear: both;"&gt;

	&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;BELLEVUE, WA — 38-year-old Joe Millar of Bellevue experienced a satisfying surge of adrenaline Friday upon his discovery of Twitter, the so-called "micro-blogging" internet service founded in March 2006.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When he received the new account email from Twitter, Millar was completely overwhelmed by a totally undeserved sense of tech savvy.   According to internet experts (i.e. teenagers), over six million users managed to discover Twitter before Millar.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr style="clear: both;"&gt;

	&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Every week, tens of thousands of Seattleites find themselves facing a familiar situation: the weekend is fast-approaching, and they have absolutely no plans due to an unfortunate combination of social anxiety disorders, crippling agoraphobia, and a complete lack of spending money thanks to "the economy."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For those readers considering turning yet again to the old standby "sitting at home alone," here's a look at what you have to look forward to.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr style="clear: both;"&gt;

	&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Today at noon Eastern, in a magnificent ceremony overflowing with more majesty and splendor than a human mind is capable of comprehending, President-elect Barack Obama will be sworn in as the forty-fourth President of the United States of America, ushering in a new age of eternal peace, prosperity, and oneness for all mankind.&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You know what?  I have had it with all the gloomy, depressing talk about the economy.  I think it is time for us to stop whining, get off our butts, and do something about this mess we find ourselves in.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There is nothing we can do to change the past.  We should not dwell on the fact that George W. Bush has personally ruined our careers, destroyed our hard-earned home equity, and driven us into suffocating credit card debt.  Now is not the time for that.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr style="clear: both;"&gt;

	&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With something like eleven out of every ten companies in the Seattle area laying people off these days, it's probably about time for those of you who still have a job to plan your layoff apocalypse survival strategy.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Intrepid Naked Loon staff members have endured a grueling schedule packed full of interviews with firing managers, library visits to scour the internets, and hour after hour crunching HR statistics&amp;#8212;all to help you keep your job.  Aren't we great.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr style="clear: both;"&gt;

	&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Friday's news that the Hearst Corporation will cease all printing operations at the Seattle P-I if a buyer for the paper is not found within 60 days shocked journalism enthusiasts across the Puget Sound.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;While some crazy rumors have circulated that the impending closure is due to the fact that the paper has been bleeding money for years, The Naked Loon has obtained an exclusive interview with a high-ranking Hearst executive who reveals the real reason for the sale.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr style="clear: both;"&gt;

	&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Illinois' incoming junior senator Roland Burris' no holds barred brawl with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid drew over one hundred and eighty million viewers Wednesday, with political beatdown enthusiasts from every state in the nation tuning into the brutal five hour match.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Political observers were treated to the first such fight in over one hundred years thanks to an obscure Senate rule requiring disputed seats to be settled in the boxing ring.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr style="clear: both;"&gt;

	&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels' extended his recent streak of secreting pure, unfiltered awesomeness on Wednesday by officially declaring Seattle as the "Number One Bestest City in the Entire Universe—For All Time."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The bold call comes hot on the heels of his proclamation that the city's response to the Colossal Blizzard Whiteout of Aught-Eight deserves a "B," widely considered by critics to be his most delightfully bizarre move to date.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr style="clear: both;"&gt;

	&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As brutally low temperatures and relentless treacherous snowfall beat down on the Puget Sound for the sixth consecutive day Thursday, weather soothsayers prophesied a sustained assault on the Northwest with icy blasts and perilous precipitation continuing into next week.&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Enforcement agents from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) put a sudden and decisive stop to a flagrant violation of intellectual property rights in the Bothell area on Tuesday.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The RIAA legal department—which makes up 97% of the organization—learned of the notorious "Northshore Christmas Biker" thanks to &lt;a href="http://www.citizenrain.com/2008/12/north-shore-christmas-biker-ri.html" title="North Shore Christmas Biker rides again"&gt;a tip from Citizen Rain&lt;/a&gt;, a Seattle-area community blog operated by KING 5 Television.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr style="clear: both;"&gt;

	&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Stupid bugs. They think they're so much better than us.  Always lording their six legs and their wings and their thoraxes over us.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What gives them the right to crawl on my dirt, and fly through my air?  Nothing, that's what.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;They're so arrogant; they act like they own the planet or something.  Like as if just because they outnumber us humans 42 billion to one, they think deserve some kind of respect.  Not hardly.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr style="clear: both;"&gt;
