Memorable news with a touch of humor

I like how people can learn their news from late-night television. There's something about humor that makes things memorable. Why? If only newswriting could tap into emotions more (preferably more positive), news would be memorable.

For example, I know that Sarah Palin is from Alaska, is pro-gun and pro-hunting from reading a dozen or so stories about her. But these bullet points aren't exactly meaningful until they are spelled out in a skit, or a rap. In case you didn't see SNL, enjoy. (The moose is my favorite.)
