time White House staffers were<br />
not surprised and noted that due to<br />
a contract signed by then<br />
President, notoriously stingy<br />
Harry Truman decades ago, facilities<br />
at The White House are routinely<br />
stocked with a cheaply manufactured,<br />
extremely coarse and<br />
somewhat less than absorbent<br />
brand of paper, forcing both<br />
Republican and Democratic chief<br />
executives alike to employ alternative<br />
means of relief upon finishing<br />
the business of the people. In<br />
fact, previous President George W.<br />
Bush is known to have kept multiple<br />
copies of The Constitution on<br />
hand for just that purpose, a practice<br />
borrowed from The Nixon<br />
administration.<br />
The Secret Service detail posted<br />
outside the door, unable to monitor<br />
The President’s movements<br />
over the sound of running water,<br />
were understandably nervous and<br />
all breathed a sigh of relief when<br />
the senior agent on the scene finally<br />
spoke into his jacket sleeve proclaiming,<br />
”The Eagle has landed.”<br />
Though while hardly the first time<br />
in recent memory that a president<br />
has made headlines with his pants<br />
down, most agree that presidential<br />
bodily functions and fluids will be<br />
viewed in a light from here on. A<br />
beaming Rev. Al Sharpton when<br />
asked to comment on “The Dump<br />
Heard ‘Round the World” stated<br />
”At last a time has finally come in<br />
America when anyone, regardless<br />
of color, can ascend to the highest<br />
throne in the land and occupy a<br />
true seat of power, an incredibly<br />
historic day which should make all<br />
Americans flush with pride.”<br />
Others, however, are critical of<br />
what they see as “an over emphasis<br />
on the historic significance of a<br />
relatively mundane daily event.”<br />
One detractor, James ”Big Jim”<br />
Oakey Schmidt, regional director<br />
of The Coalition of Suburban<br />
White Christian Oil and Gas<br />
Executives- a racial separatist<br />
group- in an interview aired on the<br />
local cable access program “It’s 4<br />
A M Chicago” said ”This is exactly<br />
the kind of shit we’ve been<br />
afraid of from day one and<br />
amounts to nothing more than a<br />
big load of crap!”<br />
In a related item, The Tom Bosley<br />
Mint has announced that it will<br />
issue a limited addition commemorative<br />
coin marking the event<br />
featuring Abraham Lincoln’s outhouse<br />
on one side, a thumbs up<br />
relief of Obama on the other and<br />
bearing the legend ”We All Gotta<br />
Go Sometime.”<br />
BUZZLINGS<br />
THE MIRACLE ON<br />
THE HUDSON<br />
is beginning to look a lot more<br />
like flashback than miracle as <strong>new</strong><br />
details emerge involving an incident<br />
which was originally deemed<br />
a jet collision with a flock of birds<br />
but may have actually been a near<br />
miss with the British pop group<br />
Flock of Seagulls. Apparently a<br />
snippet from the bands’ 1982 hit “I<br />
Ran” was intercepted over<br />
U.S.airways flight 1549s cockpit<br />
radio just upon take off which<br />
caused an irresistible urge in pilot<br />
Chesley ”Sully” Sullenberger to<br />
nosedive the fully loaded Airbus<br />
A320 with 155 people on board<br />
into the ground. It was only<br />
through sheer determination to<br />
fight the urge and years of training<br />
and experience that Sullenberger<br />
was able to pull up at the last<br />
minute and execute the emergency<br />
landing on The Hudson River saving<br />
countless lives.<br />
NTSB spokesman, Archibald<br />
Crackers, later noted that encounters<br />
with defunct one-hit wonders<br />
are fairly common in commercial<br />
aviation and stated, ”As long as<br />
crappy 80’s bands are out there,<br />
we always run the risk of this kind<br />
of situation.” He added “We can<br />
only be thankful that this occur-<br />
rence did not involve, say, Soft<br />
Cells’ Tainted Love or anything by<br />
Cyndi Lauper. The results would<br />
have surely been catastrophic.”<br />
THE FLIGHT OF<br />
THE SNEAKER<br />
Back in December an irate Iraqi<br />
journalist made international <strong>new</strong>s<br />
by throwing his shoes at a surprisingly<br />
agile President George W<br />
Bush in protest of the outgoing<br />
leaders mid-east policies during a<br />
press conference in Baghdad. A<br />
second recent incident at<br />
Cambridge University in Great<br />
Britain involving Chinese Premier<br />
Wen Jlabao and a shoe armed protester<br />
has prompted sneaker giant<br />
Nike to begin work on a line of<br />
footwear aerodynamically<br />
designed for maximum flight<br />
potential which will be called “Air<br />
George” and marketed under the<br />
slogan “Just Throw It” Competitor<br />
Reebok is said to be thinking<br />
along similar lines with their “It’s<br />
Not a Shoe-It’s a Statement” prototype.<br />
FROM THE<br />
WHERE ARE<br />
THEY NOW FILE<br />
Al Queda chief Osama Bin Laden<br />
is rumored to have consulted with<br />
several Middle Eastern P.R. firms<br />
in an effort to update his image<br />
and make himself more <strong>new</strong>s worthy.<br />
Word has it that the terrorist<br />
king pin has exchanged his turban<br />
for a dew-rag, his trusty AK-47 for<br />
Tech-9 and will operate under the<br />
name of Osama Bin Hangin With<br />
Da Crips. Though a self-described<br />
“old-madrasa“ type terrorist he<br />
no<strong>net</strong>heless feels the need to modernize<br />
his profile. In response,<br />
Homeland Security has elevated<br />
the terrorist threat level to gold<br />
and black.<br />
AND FINALLY<br />
Not to be outdone by The White<br />
Sox who will be issuing a special<br />
edition cap in honor of Sox Fanin-Chief,<br />
President Barack<br />
Obama, The Cubs will, in turn,<br />
offer fans a commemorative jersey<br />
featuring blue prison pin-stripes<br />
and a much longer number than<br />
usual in tribute to uber-Cubs fan<br />
Rod Blagojevich. Play Ball!!!<br />
