PETA Wishes Obama Hadn't Swatted That Fly

During an interview for CNBC at the White House on Tuesday, a fly intruded on Obama's conversation with correspondent John Harwood.

''Get out of here,'' the president told the pesky insect. When it didn't, he waited for the fly to settle, put his hand up and then smacked it dead.

''Now, where were we?'' Obama asked Harwood. Then he added: ''That was pretty impressive, wasn't it? I got the sucker.''

This is a children's picture book waiting to happen.

The Pirates! In An Adventure With Barack Obama

I know that this is a very serious situation and no laughing matter, but I have to say, this headline did fill my childish heart with glee:

Obama Pledges to Fight Piracy; Pirates Vow Revenge

Yar, there's an adventure afoot!

"Twirl me, Mr. President"


What the New York Times didn't cover about Obama's appearance before Congress tonight was the hint of a tender romance blossoming between the new President and Supreme Court Justice Ruth "Kiki" Bader Ginsburg (I'm sure Liz Smith would have covered it if she hadn't been fired for not serving any function in society).

Obama's affair with an SCJ is a misstep familiar to Presidential historians, who still remember that famous incident in 1903, when Theodore Roosevelt attempted to unhook Oliver Wendell Holmes' bra.

Presidents are just like us

Turns out even Obama can't take those ignorant motherfuckers sometimes. Check out this collection of risque clips from his reading of Dreams From My Father.

(Try to ignore the fact that comedian April Winchell didn't like the book. That bitch ain't shit. Except good job compiling these.)

Second and a half course

They were followed by pureed sweet potatoes and then miniature corn muffins, into which a small piece of corn husk had been baked. A 2005 Goldeneye Pinot Noir accompanied the main course.

Dessert service was interrupted when Senator Ted Kennedy, who is undergoing treatment for brain cancer, had a seizure and was rushed to the hospital.

But the show must go on and a cinnamon apple cake with vanilla bean ice cream, sautéed apple cubes and sauce was served with Korbel champagne.
That description of the post-inaugural luncheon can by found on the New York Times blog. Apparently, the food section of the inaugural website was the most visited leading up to the big day. The site offers views of the china (replicas of the Lincoln china) and centerpieces (hideous clashing pink and red roses) that were used at the luncheon. You can also download the recipes from the last three inaugural luncheons so that you and your American Girl Doll can experience this Great Moment in American History at home.

What they don't tell you is that Kennedy's seizure was accompanied by a 2007 Sauvignon Blanc from Napa Valley.

This is too adorable


Look at how excited and proud he is! Like an abandoned puppy on its way to live in the White House!
