Sirens at Obama's presser a distraction, imho.

Beautiful location, but is it next to a hospital?

And, how about the helicopters earlier in the presser?

3. The Sirens of Titan?

"Bergeron's epitaph for the planet, I remember, which he said should be carved in big letters in a wall of the Grand Canyon for the flying-saucer people to find, was this:

WE COULD HAVE SAVED IT BUT WE WERE TOO DOGGONE CHEAP

Only he didn't say 'doggone.'"

6. Reminds me of a story about God after the Apocalypse.

There was a short, biblically-written short story about God bringing about the apocalypse after man caused a devastating nuclear war. God was not able to raise any souls of the dead. He came down to Earth with his host of angels to see what happened. He caused the rocks to offer evidence. On the side of a wall, someone had carved letters which an exploding machine had somehow filled with gold-colored letters.

And God read the words written on the wall.

"We were here. Where were YOU?"

5. I thought it was well placed. "Waaaah" = "Another body found" or "Drug cartel shooting"
