Get the Great News! mug.A phrase describing something that is so obviously bad for someone that it is sarcastically described as being great news. Derived from the 2008 Election where FOX news tried to make any news pertaining to the election, especially bad news, as a positive some how for John McCain!
Fox News Anchor: "Today photos were found of John McCain sodomizing his illegal immigrant lawn boy Juan."
Fox News Pundit: "This is Great news! For John McCain!."
or
Fox News Anchor: "Barack Obama leads in polls 99% to 1% with only 2 days before the election.

Get the This is Great News! For John McCain! mug.Usually used in sports related situations (but also applicable to all life situations), conservation of greatness describes a situation where a person has just done something earth shatteringly amazing, and then immediately proceeds to attempt another amazing action. The second action has 1% chance of doubling the glory, and a 99% chance of failure, which includes a 50% chance of making the person look like an absolute fool.
Popularly used in the game of ultimate frisbee, but possibly originating elsewhere.
