Comment of the week

From Jim Treacher to President Obama: “Maybe you should ask one of the brainiacs on your staff to explain your approval ratings to you. Note: You’re not supposed to try for the lowest score possible. It’s not like golf.”

Update: I just don’t know how much more unprecedented super-smartness I can take from this administration:
To show her support for American workers, President Obama's labor secretary, Hilda Solis, has junked the standard black limo and purchased a new Chevrolet Equinox to ride around Washington in. The problem: the crossover SUV is built and assembled in Canada from parts also made in Canada.

I have no idea what's the problem with Mme Secretary's choice of conveyance.

Cheers

Captain: Of course, it's good news, from your perspective!

It isn't the choice of vehicle. It's the blatant hypocrisy. And/or the blatant ignorance.

Jim Treacher would be correct about the golf scores if Obama kept score. We must keep in mind that everyone plays and everyone gets a trophy. Keeping score would only harm the self-esteem. Of course, Obama could use his self-esteem readjusted down a few pegs.

Why isn't Hilda driving a fashionable electric car that the president is pushing? Perhaps she could get one of those two wheeled thingies. Isn't called a Transporter. Mall cops seem to like them.
