In an effort to restore Americans’ faith in their government, President Obama has taken advantage of a little-known clause in the Constitution to sweep away the most unpopular Congress in history, replacing Senators and House members alike with movie stars, game show hosts, pop divas and kittens.
Slipped into the Constitution by Ben Franklin, the so-called “Kick Congress in the Arse Clause” had always been dismissed by Constitutional historians as “just the kind of shenanigans Franklin liked to pull when he was loaded.” Most scholars agree that Franklin was drunk and in a joking mood when he persuaded the rest of the founding fathers to support the clause, which enhances a President’s recess appointment powers, allowing him to replace Congress, “but only if said President is of African descent.”
Former members of Congress were quick to express outrage over what they deemed a power grab on the part of the President. Former House Speaker John Boehner branded Obama’s move, “the kind of dirty trick Republican Presidents are known for.” Democrats Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid released a joint statement condemning the President for “displaying extreme courage by turning his back on his own party and doing what’s best for the country, which is not how we do things in Washington.”
News of the President’s action dominated the airways. Fox News Political analyist Juan Williams reacted angrily, insisting that President Obama is not African at all. “What Obama has done is completely illegal! He’s no more African than I am! For God’s sake, look at his birth certificate. Any idiot knows Barack Obama is Hawaiian!”
I’d rather not think about it.

Year to you and yours!

My Daughter’s Moving Out
Last night, my daughter just walked into the living room and said, “Dad, cancel my allowance immediately, rent my room out, throw all my clothes out of the window, take my TV, stereo, iPhone, iPod, and my laptop. Please take all of my jewelry to the Salvation Army or Goodwill. Then sell my car.
Take my front door key away from me and throw me out of the house. Then disown me and never talk to me again. And don’t forget to write me out of
your will and leave my share to my sister.”
Well, she didn’t put it quite like that. She actually said...
‘Dad, I have decided to work for Obama’s re-election campaign.’”
Very subtle.

You have to be careful not to read that one too fast.

My Beeber is totally stuned!!
I am truly perplexed that so many of my friends are against a mosque being built at Ground Zero. I think it should be the goal of every American to be tolerant.Thus the Mosque should be allowed, in an effort to promote tolerance.
That is why I also propose that two nightclubs be opened next door to the mosque, thereby promoting tolerance from within the mosque. We could call one of the clubs, “The Turban Cowboy”,which would be gay, and the other a topless bar called “ You Mecca Me Hot.”
Next door should be a butcher shop that specializes in pork, and adjacent to that an open-pit barbeque pork restaurant, called “ Iraq o’ Ribs.”
Across the street there could be a lingerie store called “ Victoria Keeps Nothing Secret”, with sexy mannequins in the window modeling the goods.
Next door to the lingerie shop, a liquor store called “Morehammered.” All of this would encourage the Muslims to demonstrate the tolerance they demand of us, so the mosque problem would be solved.
