obama and the secret service

I have no idea what it is, but I’ve heard two stories about Obama and the Secret Service in the last week.

president stupid at it again…

Last night I was privileged to hear our president speak.By privileged, I mean the speech came on the radio after I got out of the shower.  I can think of no better place to signify the importance of a presidential address than the sanctity of one’s own bathroom.  (you can tell where this is going)
You […]
