Its a challenge keeping up with all the grand schemes, goofy gaffes, and outright stupidity emanating from Washington lately. Add to that challenge the ongoing world turmoil and international inanities, my job and purpose in life become somewhat daunting, but I can deal. Nevertheless, its good to take a break once in a while from all that and focus on the comedic activities of the human species.
This first humorous story ties in with previous articles here on racism. (Humor in racism? Actually, sometimes, yep.) It seems that even food can be interpreted as racist, such as German company Sprehes frozen Obama Fingers which AOLs Black Voices perceives as Obama Finger Food, With Curry Sauce and a Side of Racism. And how can frozen chicken be racist? Well, fool, obviously because it perpetuates the stereotype that Black people like fried chicken! (/blogs/2009/03/16/obama-finger-food-with-curry-sauce-and-a-side-of-racism/) Sprehe had better bone up on Americas PC rules before it attempts to market frozen watermelon popsicles here.
Meanwhile, over in Merry Ol England, the family of Phillip Chawnerwife and 2 daughters, one of whom is seen here with her mum
must be consuming a whole lot of chicken or shepherd pie or bangers and theyre not very happy. All four have been unable to work and have been on Britains dole for 11 years because of their morbid obesity and the bloody government gives them a measly $45,000. a year! As Phillip complained, that barely covers the bills and puts food on the table. Its not our fault we cant work. We deserve more (emphasis added): /2009/03/17/can-you-be-too-fat-to-work/. Maybe a little less food on the table or, gawd forbid, moving off their fat arses and getting a job would be better ideas for the Family Chawners?
Okay, time to get a little serious, but only a little with this jail tale about a Texas version of Animal House Arizonas much-besieged Sheriff Joe Arpaio, (see /blog1/?p=885, et al.), could give some much needed lessons in jail-keeping to the folks in Montague, Texas and its former sheriff, Bill Keating, who ran a jail from which no prisoners ever escaped. Thats the good part. The bad part is that the county hoosegow offered all the comforts of home, and then some: /article/texas-jail-called-animal-house/384443. Those comforts included the run of the place, having sex with their jailer girlfriends, bringing in recliners, taking drugs and chatting on cell phones supplied by friends or guards... They also disabled some of the surveillance cameras and made weapons out of nails. Blocks of cells were unlocked, but who cared? Bluto would be one happy camper in Montague!
Next, as we all get ready to cough up more money to the IRS by April 15thall except for our Secretary of the Treasury and admitted tax cheat, Timmy Geithnerits good to know that all our hard earned bucks arent being wasted. Bailout recipient Bank of America demonstrated both a sense of humor and an effort to perk up the economy with some of its $45,000,000,000 gift from the American taxpayer by offering free ticket upgrades to Dreamworks 3-D version of Monsters vs. Aliens when it opens next Friday. Just coincidentally, Dreamworks president, Jeffrey Katzenberg, is the former CFO and vice chairman of the bank: /whaaat-bailed-out-bank-of-america-paying-for-consumers-to-see-hollywood-toon/. Purely as a public service, I offer the website address at which any and all can get those upgrades. Why not? All of us are paying for them!

Finally, word is that President Obama was either looking for an honest man, or woman in his administration or perhaps looking for a snack of Obama Fingers in this picture:
