Happy Hour at the White House

Thursday, July 30th, 2009

Wal-Mart is in discussions with The Centers for Disease Control. The retailer may put swine flu vaccination sites in some of its stores due to Wal-Mart being the center of disease.

President Obama got together for happy hour in the rose garden with Henry Louis Gates and the officer who arrested him. They all had a beer. When Obama got home Michelle checked his breath and jumped down his throat about hanging out with his bum friends drinking beer on a weeknight when they have two young children at home.

Many states are experiencing shortages in their budget. They’re trying to find creative ways to make up for the shortfall. Kentucky has put a tax on cell phone ring tones. There is one exception: the banjo theme from “Deliverance.”

A police officer in Boston has apologized for sending a mass e-mail referring to Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates as a “banana-eating jungle monkey” and says he is not a racist. I’m sure the apology from this mayonnaise-eating white honky will convince everyone he’s not a racist.

Police in Georgia investigating a noise complaint at the home of a 28-year-old woman say she was operating an illegal strip club in her basement and garage. Police got suspicious when she charged them a two drink minimum.

A man in South Carolina was charged with having sex with a horse. The horses owner caught it on videotape. This sounds like the worst episode of “Mr.Ed” ever.

I’ll tell you, e-harmony has just gone too far.

The horse is his “mane” squeeze.

The horse said “He’s hung like me.”

The horse is sad and misses the man. It’s walking around with a long face.

The guy is crushed. Well that happens when the horse is on top.

Results from a major study by the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine says that organic food has no nutritional or health benefits over ordinary food. And if there is anything the British are known for its their ability to judge cuisine.

Scientists are now discovering that the top hundredth-inch of the ocean is like a sheet of jelly and home to a menagerie of microbes. Especially the surf around Fire Island.

A new national survey says that one in three adults admit that on any typical day they take a nap. The other two have jobs.

International cancer experts now say that tanning beds are a top cancer risk, deeming them as deadly as arsenic and mustard gas. The good news is the tanning bed can double as a casket.

Tweets, Texts, Stolen Specs

19 people were arrested in Connecticut for allegedly running a finch and canary fighting ring. Police were tipped off when they received an anonymous tweet.

A new study shows that when people text while driving their collision risk is 23 times greater than when not texting. That’s nothing compared to the 100 times greater risk seen in the 60’s when people were typing while driving.

A 67-year-old woman in Australia spent a week wedged between her toilet and the bathroom door. A neighbor heard her scream that she had fallen Down-Under and can’t get up.

In an interview with a U.S. newspaper Vice President Joe Biden made remarks giving the impression that Russia is a weakened nation. Russians are upset. No worries, Obama will invite them to the White House for a beer.

The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation found that HBO scored highest among 15 networks for its representation of gay characters last season. The alliance is requesting that HBO not Curb it’s Enthusiasm.

After serving 18 months in prison for running a dogfighting ring, Michael Vick is back in the NFL. Now all he needs is a team to sign him and keep him on a very short leash.

New research shows that medical spending for someone who is obese costs $1,400 more per patient on average than someone who is of normal weight. So that’s Rush Limbaugh’s plan. To take down health care single-handedly.

An electronic sign at the U.S. diplomatic mission in Havana that had displayed pro-democracy messages has been turned off by the Obama administration. The sign is now used to advertise inner-tubes.

A man from Illinois was accused of stealing more than $45,000 worth of eyeglasses from stores near Milwaukee. He told investigators he tries them on in front of a mirror and then discards them. Sort of the same thing Larry King does with wives.

The mayor of Barre, Vermont who agreed in fun to a jousting match with padded sticks and helmets was toppled in less than 15 seconds and ended up in the emergency room with broken ribs. President Obama feels sorry for the jousting mayor and may invite him to the White House for a flagon of mead.

Britain will withdraw its remaining forces from Iraq by month’s end because the Iraqi Parliament failed to pass a deal allowing them to stay. Won’t let the British troops stay? Who do they think they are? These Iraqi’s are acting like they own the country.
