9. And this is news?
I'm not shooting the messenger but the media have been talking about it all day and I don't get it. Some say he is getting too much exposure and things like this don't help.

16. And who speaks for the rights of the fly?
On the other hand, it does show that it's better to be a fly on the wall. (And with Obama, that other hand proved to be pretty fast.)

21. In other news...
Edited on Thu Jun-18-09 10:53 AM by Javaman
It was announced today that the President of the United States moved his bowels.

Defenders of Toilets for equal rights were up in arms by this flagrant use of a toilet.

Mr. John, president of DTER was quoted as saying, "How dare he soil the porcelain god!!"

The Presidents press office had no comment.
