I'd Rather He Spend Time On BBall

This is too funny. Duke’s Coach K tells Obama to focus on the economy, not filling out his March Madness brackets. Of course, every minute he spends on mundane junk is another minute he's not destroying American freedom and capitalism. Even HuffPo approves of his spending time picking a bracket.

UPDATE - Obama is cruising along with a 53% rate on his picks after a disastrous first round, despite few upsets. At least it's higher than his rate of picking suitable cabinet nominees.


Why Is This Funny?

The second rate comedian/actor from Borat dresses up as a foreign documentary maker, complete with crew and cameras, and gains access to non-secured areas of an Alabama National Guard base. Somehow, this has been recognized as comedy.

I think the funniest thing about this story is that the "actor" was able to go so long without being recognized. That speaks volumes about his talent and appeal.


Supply Your Own Punchline

You just can’t make this stuff up

So, Obama is Irish now. So, the good folks at NBC traced his roots to a small town in the Irish countryside and sent Al Roker there to do a report.

The town’s name? Moneygall.
