I gotta go with Dave Barry on this one

Wilma, Rita, Katrina: No matter how you stack it up, 2005 blew

You need to read this! It includes such highlights as:

February:
In other hopeful news, President Bush, seeking to patch up the troubled relationship between the United States and its European allies, embarks on a four-nation tour. When critics note that two of the nations are not actually located in Europe, the White House responds that the president was ''acting on the best intelligence available at the time.''

March:
But the economy gets a boost when the jobless rate plummets, as hundreds of thousands of unemployed cable-TV legal experts are hired to comment on the trial of Michael Jackson. Jackson is charged with 10 counts of being a space-alien freakadelic weirdo. Everybody agrees this will be very difficult to prove in California.

June:
In disturbing medical news, a new study of 1,000 Americans finds that obesity in the United States has gotten so bad that there actually were, upon closer scrutiny, only 600 Americans involved in the study.

July:
In book news, millions of youngsters snap up the latest in the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter Must Be Like 32 Years Old By Now.

Be careful, though. It's kind of long and can cause pain if you're reading it at work and drinking bottled water and you try to stifle a laugh (becuase the newsletter article you just finished writing is really not funny) and you have to try very hard to keep water from shooting out your nose or mouth or both.
