Stranger than Fiction

Just when you think you have read every conceivable type of story in the news you come across something like this. What in the world?

A Little Humor Makes an Election Year Tolerable

I came across the list below on the 101 Funny Jokes website and thought it entirely appropriate for this election season as just about every other ridiculous statement has been made about or by the candidates.

Top Ten Things Never Before Said by a Presidential Candidate
10. "Vote for me or I'll slash your tires"
9. "Forget universal health care -- I'm buying every American an XBox"
8. "In a crisis I ask myself, 'What would Tony Danza do?'
7. "I'd give you my plan for economic recovery if I wasn't rip stinkin' drunk"
6. "If your last name begins with 'M' through 'Z,' sorry -- your taxes are doubling"
5. "We're gonna cut the deficit by selling North Dakota to Canada"
4. "I have tons of experience from being president of the Burt Reynolds fan club"
3. "Lady, that is one ugly baby"
2. "When I'm president, I'm putting Regis on Mt. Rushmore"
1. "Read my lips: no new wardrobe malfunctions"

I voted #5 for comment most likely to be made by McCain, #9 for Obama, and #10 for Hillary. Just joking folks. Well mostly.

Governor Spitzer's downfall

Earlier today the governor of the state of New York, Eliot Spitzer, admitted that he was involved in a prostitution ring. So much for the man who took on crime and corruption. This sort of hypocrisy no longer surprises me.

I feel very sorry for his wife and family. The next few weeks and months will be terrible for them. It won't be so great for the citizens of New York state either. Is it too much to expect that elected officals obey the law?
