I'm going to say it because nobody else will...

Alexander McQueen, MILTF, M.I.L.T.F., Anna Wintour, Barbra Streisand, Jackie Kennedy, Michelle Obama, Political Satire
Anna Wintour and Michelle Obama
Is Michelle Obama hot, or what? That's Mrs. Obama wearing designer Alexander McQueen to the state dinner for Chinese President Hu Jintao and looking like a Ph.D. in M.I.L.T.F.sciences. And that's Anna Wintour on the left doing her best Barbra Streisand imitation, or wait, that's Barbra Streisand doing her best Anna Wintour imitation. Whatever. The first lady is to today what Jackie Kennedy was to her day. Stellar.

Shut Up: Larry King Retires





"I never learned a thing while I was talking," - Larry King


Shut up, Larry King, CNN, Political Satire,Retirement, Satire, Humor,


Larry King will retire as host of CNN's "Larry King Live" after 25 years. That will make King nearly 100 and by then he will have had roughly 9 wives, if judging by past performance.

But seriously folks, King will be retiring in the fall and I must say I will miss him. He's conducted over 50,000 interviews in his career and in that business, he is a master. His disarming appeal to guests stems from his candor and genuine likability, preferring to give them just enough rope to hang themselves, if the situation warrants it. In my time overseas I've enjoyed King as a barometer of who's important and what is really going on. Can anyone replace him? CNN might look towards actor Billy Bob Thornton. He's had 5 wives so far.

Take a break, Larry. I'll miss you.

How (NOT) To Write The Best Damn Blog In The World III

I had done a post back in December of last year called "How To Write The Best Damn Blog In The World" and it's high time for an update because I have new info. I now have the secret to "how (NOT) to write that blog" and here it is, with a plain graphic to explain it all to you.


Don't write at all.



It's that simple. The chart here illustrates quite clearly what happens when I don't write at all, which is what has happened over the last week due to things I'll discuss later, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this out. People like consistency and frequency, and without critiquing my own writing too much, it doesn't seem to matter what I write at all. In fact, the more I write, and the shorter I write, the more traffic I generate, and the more time people spend on the site. A week of 5 quick soundbites sells better than my usual diet of three a week with two short and one long. It's now a 140 character world folks. Get used to it.


But keep writing.

I'll get back to my snarky satirical political commentary, my mawkish poetry and my unabashed romantic reflections with a dash of marketing and social networking thrown in, but I've learned my lesson. I will keep writing. You do too.

Obama Slams Walmart Black Barbie Scam!

Black Barbie, Advertising, Obama, Sex, Political Satire, Tiger Woods, WalMartPresident Obama came out today in firm defiance of the Walmart Black Barbie discount scam. "How dare they cut the bitch by 50%", he said. "She's plastic, for chrissakes!". President Obama was pissed.

A Walmart store in Louisiana caused a stir for selling a Black Barbie at half the price of White Barbie last week. The Black Barbie was $3 and the White, $5.93. A spokesperson for Walmart said the dolls weren't selling well, hence the price cut. "Shit I gotta get on the street and get me a black girl", said Tiger Woods. Turned out he had been spending way too much money on white schwag.

But sociologists and analysts are taking issue with the retailers sale and say it sends the wrong message about Blackness. "The implication of the lowering of the price is that's devaluing the Black doll," Thelma Dye of the Northside Center for Child Development in Harlem told ABC News. Retail analyst Lori Wachs says Walmart needed to look at the bigger picture. "I think there are certain things companies have to be sensitive about and clearly this was one of them," retail she told ABC.

The Obama administration on Saturday called for a broad overhaul of President George W. Bush’s No Bitch Left Behind law, proposing to reshape divisive provisions that encouraged instructors to teach that white girls are better arm candy, narrowed the sexual curriculum, and labeled one in three American schools as pretty much no fun. It was tough.

By announcing that he would send his sexual blueprint to Congress on Monday, President Obama returned to a campaign promise to repair the sprawling federal law, which affects each of the nation’s nearly 100,000 public schools, and Tiger Woods too. His plan strikes a careful balance, retaining some key features of the Bush-era law, including its requirement for annual body tests, while proposing far-reaching inter-cultural changes. Tiger said it was cool.

White House party crashers board plane for Yemen with champagne strapped to their underwear. Homeland security says the system works!



Champaign, Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano, Michaele and Tariq Salahi, Obama, Party Crashers, Political Satire, Polo, White HouseHomeland Security Czar Janet Napolitano shrugged off security lapses on ABC this week defending the work of her agency and associated law enforcement agencies with the statement, "The system worked". Never the less noted White House party crashers Michaele and Tariq Salahi were able to board a flight to Yemen with little tiny airline sized bottles of Corbel stuffed into their underwear this week with nary a peep from security personnel at the airport. "She's one hot biotch", said a security guard who spoke on the condition of anonymity. "I wanted to get a peek down her panties, but we just used that magnetometer instead. I was way disappointed, for sure.", he added.

Vice President Joe Biden was also quick to come to the Salahi's defense. "Look people", he said, "All they did at the White House was swipe a couple of ashtrays. I don't know why you all have to make a Federal case out of this stuff." But a Federal case it has become as it seemed that between the two Salahis, they were able to stuff a case exactly of the tiny bottles around and possibly in their respective private parts. (See skanky underwear photo.) "This crap has got to stop", said another unnamed security official. "Cabin pressure goes up and dem teeny corks start poppin - they coulda put somebody's eye out up there!"' Yemeni officials were quick to confiscate the champagne once the Salahis deplaned and were off to the back room for a big rippin' staff party.

Polo matches in Yemen, an extremely poor country described as a failed state', are rare but the Salahis pointed out that they were on a diplomatic mission from President Barack Obama and the Yemenis bought it. "Yeah, Obama, he's black, you can come in." was heard as the Salahis flashed their American Express cards and cruised right through customs.

Obama Sends 30,000 Troops to Tiger Woods' House - Woods: "I won't come out!"


West Point, Obama,  Tiger Woods, Political Satire, Orlando, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Elin Woods, West Point, New York (CNN) -- President Obama said Tuesday that the deployment of 30,000 U.S. troops to Florida is part of a strategy to reverse Tiger Wood's 'transgressions' with cocktail waitresses and stabilize the country's government.
.
In regard to the polo playing party crashers from Virginia and Woods being linked he further stated, "There is no imminent threat of the government being overthrown, but this crap has gone far enough," Obama said at the U.S. Military Academy. "Tiger has not re-emerged but I feel the need to protect the national security of all cocktail waitresses". Obama said he'd begin sending the additional troops "at the fastest pace possible" starting like yesterday "with a goal of getting Woods to withdraw all his wood from all cocktail waitresses by July 2011."

Woods, responding from his bunker-buster-proof 3 million dollar home near Orlando, Re-Tweeted, about 10 times,
"For the last week, my family and I have been hounded to expose intimate details of our personal lives - now my brotha's sending in the fucking #Army. Jeeziz." - "How many characters is 140, @Elin?"

The president said additional U.S. forces bolstered by NATO troops "will allow us to accelerate Tiger's removal from the home." Senior administration officials said Tuesday that Obama has a goal of withdrawing most U.S. forces from Woods' home by the end of his current term, which ends in January 2013.
.
"Do you have any idea how many golf tournaments this guy's won? If he turns that weapon on all the hostesses and barmaids on this planet, we'll have a pandemic on our hands.", he reiterated. Secretary of state Hillary Clinton backed up Obama. "I've seen this shit before with Bill. You've gotta nip it in the bud!"
.
The Rev. Jesse Jackson offered to counsel the Woods, as he did the Clintons, but calls from his office were not immediately returned by Woods.

Did Sarah Palin Just Nuke Herself? The Vietnamese Nuclear Physics Quiz VI

In a departure from our normal Vietnamese Nuclear Physics Quiz we have given our customary Vietnamese Ph.D.s, a break (and boy did they need it) and invited, soon to be, ex-governor of Alaska, the honorable Sarah Palin to be our guest physicist for the day. She quits her job tomorrow, you know. Oh, sure, we know she's not Vietnamese and a little older than our usually tasty authorities but hell, look at the bazoombas on that girl. We think she can handle the atoms around here. So let's let this soccer mom rip! Below, you'll find a question in Bold Faced Type. Consider the question, come up with your answer, and then "mouse over" (just roll the cursor over it - don't click) the question to reveal our physicist's answer. Should you disagree with it, we'll be more than happy to have Sarah check that harpoon you're holding all by yourself.

Presidential Puppy In Rehab After Just A Week!

Alcoholic, Drinking, Family, Malia, Michelle, Obama, Political Satire, Puppy, Rehab, Sasha, Ted KennedyNews of the Obama's new puppy, Bo, spread like wildfire last week and easily beat the crap out of any stories from the G20 summit or the prez's recent South American trip. But news of the pooch's drinking problem was considered classified and received a "no comment" from Secret Service contacts deep inside the White House. President Obama promised his daughters Malia and Sasha that they'd be getting a puppy on the night he won the election back in November 2008 - he's six months old and is a Portuguese water dog - but what the Obama's didn't count on were hereditary traits passed on in the same lineage as Sen. Ted Kennedy's canine compatriots.
.
"He's a complete lush", said a staffer who wished to remain anonymous, "From sun-up to sun-down he hangs around the White House bar in the basement, plays Amy Winehouse, and can kill a fifth of Scotch easily by noon. His afternoons are spent sleeping it off, usually".

Alcoholic, Drinking, Family, Malia, Michelle, Obama, Political Satire, Puppy, Rehab, Sasha, Ted KennedyThe dog's drinking has been a huge news story in America, and even on Friday President Obama was being asked about it. Some websites were reporting the Obamas found the dog passed out on day one and when a journalist asked the President about it he said: "Oh, man, now, that's top secret." The Betty Fido clinic will be the site of the dog's rehabilitation plan and the Obama's hope to retain posession of a "clean and sober" Bo after a thorough twelve step program. Looking years into the future one can also see a resemblance between the puppy and Kennedy once his hair, the puppy's that is, turns grey. No plans for Kennedy's rehabilitation have been announced.

Banks, Bombs and Babes: The Vietnamese Nuclear Physics Quiz III

http://www.facebook.com/groups/edit.php?members&new&saved&gid=Response to our first Vietnamese Nuclear Physics Quiz was amazing. Our second, off the charts. But now the world has fallen into a global economic crisis and we had to ask ourselves if all the talent we've got prancing around here couldn't be used to alleviate some of the throbbing stress we're all feeling in our financial members - and the answer is of course, yes. This month's physicist is Dr. Kim Loan My Moni and she's ready to probe this financial thing until we all just have a cigarette and doze off. So ... time for the quiz. Below, you'll find a question in Bold Faced Type. Consider the question, come up with your answer, and then "mouse over" (just roll the cursor over it - don't click) the question to reveal our physicist's answer. Should you disagree with it, we'll be more than happy to lock your sorry assets in the safe deposit vault until Dr. Kim can liquidate them.

"Can't we just nuke all the bad banks with suitcase bombs?"
