Land of the Free Time
Saturday, March 28th, 2009Whether chatting with Jay Leno, watching Stevie Wonder perform or filling out a basketball bracket, Barack Obama has been busy balancing his obligations as Preslebrident (a celebrity President). Here are a few of the other activites receiving less media attention that occupy his days.
Training the new puppy to pee on pictures of Rush Limbaugh.
Planting the seeds of hope…and tomatoes and cucumbers and radishes. Clearly, he marches to the beet of his own drummer.
Barry, Barry, dignitary, how does your garden grow?
Creating acronyms for MSNBC (his best one so far: Matthews Swoons Noting Barack’s Charisma).
Picking out more DVDs to give to the many prime ministers he has yet to meet (to save money, he’s buying them all from the $5 bin at Wal-Mart). Wonder if Gordon Brown liked “Jackie Brown?”
Inventing excuses to not bowl against a Special Olympics champion. Top 2: 1. Sorry, I don’t have a moment to spare. 2. I’ll have to split before I can finish a full frame.
Finishing writing joke for speech on economy about how the deficit and Sen. Robert Byrd will both make it to 1 trillion this year.
Calling Tyler Hansbrough to come over so the President can climb on his shoulders and dunk over former hoopster and current special aid, Reggie Love. Yes, even the Commander-in-Chief relishes sticking it to Duke. The image of a white man helping a black man jump will usher in an era of racial harmony. Hansbrough may even land a position in the White House if he manages to execute a 360 jam or brings the President a carton of smokes.
Buying inmates wrongfully held at Guantanamo Bay handles of Parrot Bay and a commemorative shot glasses that read “Rum for Your Lives.” For those not easily pleased, throw in T-shirts with the slogan front/back: “Surfing’s for Sissies. / U.S. Waterboarding Pro.”
