It’s safe to say it’s been an emotional week for Washington.

This week on Friday Funnies, we share an unfortunate video that may or may not have been the highlight of our morning staff meeting.

Congress finally reached a deal to avert the Fiscal Cliff – but what are we to make of a “fix” with no real spending cuts that avoids our underlying fiscal problems?

“After the election, 20 states said they’ve got to get out. They said, ‘We can’t take it anymore,’ so 20 states are working on seceding from the United States. We’re facing real economic problems, so take those 20 states that want to leave and charge them $10,000 apiece.” –David Letterman

“Some more good news – the president announced today he is not going to raise taxes on the entire 1 percent, just Donald Trump.” –Jay Leno

“Economists say rebuilding after Hurricane Sandy will give the ailing construction industry a huge boost. In fact, the storm has already created more jobs than President Obama.” –Jay Leno

“Last night the debate was all about the undecideds, but here’s what happened. The undecideds decided not to watch.” –David Letterman

“They agreed the subjects for the debate were foreign and domestic issues. Which pretty much covers everything, doesn’t it? Where else is there besides foreign and domestic issues? Space, I guess?” –Jimmy Kimmel

“This week the Obamas’ dog, Bo, turned 4 years old. He spent the day the way he always does – digging holes, chasing squirrels, and coaching Obama for the debates.” –Jimmy Fallon
