In the first major initiative of his presidency, President Barack Obama today dispatched Vice President Joe Biden on what he called “an important and special mission” to Antarctica.

[EveningStar]

It’s true! ;)

STAND UP CHUCK!!!!!!!!!

Now you’ve done it! The SS will be monitoring all Polar Bears to stave off a threat to feckless Joe.

President Obama noted the specialized nature of the mission of the Vice President.

“We are trying to find the existence of the last wild Dodo bird on the planet. The best way to find a Dodo bird is to send another Dodo bird to track it.

Through his long tenure in the US Senate, Joe Biden has proved he has what it takes to track the Dodo bird.

Yes, he can.”

Shucks, my “cancel post” request didn’t get noticed in time, but thank you. (note to self—always...check...source)

So this isn’t a joke?

It's a joke, and a really funny one. The sub-headline reads, "High-level Trip Could Last Four Years, President Hints." :)

It's a sly way of saying Obama will ignore Biden for the next four years.

You might try penguins, as there are no polar bears in Antarctica.

[yldstrk]

That is hilarious

[sheikdetailfeather]

Wow! Biden must feel important with a special mission so soon! Antartica, ha? That would definitely be a hot spot!

[Candor7]

Bye Bye Biden. Long may he rest with the penguins.

Al Gorp will go along to survey the glacier melt and predict the Globs Globbal swarming.

Frearmongerinng Clobal Warming PING!

" I went to Antarctica and saw the end of the world, WITH MY OWN EYES!"

These idjits have NO shame!

Here is a humorous article.

I have totally lost my sense of humor. To me, I feel foreboding taxation/global warming scaremongering claptrap UN intervention. It’s Sunday night in week one and he has already messed with the auto company’s fuel mileage requirements. I’m afraid its no joke.

Joes secret mission...

[Gabz]

A hint of truth is needed for good satire —— that was accomplished in this article!!!!

[antioscar]

“Biden in a box”!

[gidget7]

You and me too!! Oh my I needed a good laugh!!!!

[GOP_Lady]

Indeed, a job very well done.

[gidget7]

And that could take 4 years?????? This is some kind of satirical report isn't it?

[gidget7]

Had to be, we should be so fortunate! It was hysterically funny though.

You should follow the link and read the story about how 0bama refuses to answer reporter’s questions about the size of his package. It’s even funnier than the Biden one.
