HOLLYWOOD — God bless America, and how’s everybody?
President Barack Obama arrived at the wealthy retreat Martha’s Vineyard Thursday. The locals weren’t so glad to see him at the rate he wants to tax the rich.
A year from now cops will be pulling over NBA players and arresting them for possession of money.
Obama wasn’t allowed to swim in Martha’s Vineyard Friday because the water is contaminated with noxious fecal bacteria. No one can swim in it. It was just British Petroleum’s luck that last week they opened an egg farm in Massachusetts.
Obama played golf on Martha’s Vineyard and then went for a leisurely stroll on the island Friday.
At one point he stopped and tossed rocks into a scenic pond.
Passersby just assumed that he was a Muslim and the pond had committed adultery.   
The White House shrugged off a Time poll Friday saying one- fourth of Americans believe Obama’s a Muslim. It’s a real concern.
Most Americans feel the only thing he can do to alter their perception is to change his name back to Cassius Clay.   
The White House insisted Friday that Obama is a Christian.
He honors all religions.
Obama had a dinner on Ramadan, he set up a Christmas tree, and for Yom Kippur he’s going to give the Israelis permission to cross Iraqi airspace.   
Ground Zero mosque backer Imam Rauf’s wife Daisy Khan said that American Muslims must fight for a bigger society and support the Ground Zero mosque. She wants us to be more tolerant of the people who attacked the World Trade Center.
Next they will be demanding affirmative action and that every fourth person on a plane must have a boxcutter.    
The FDA recalled 400 million eggs on Friday after a national outbreak of salmonella poisoning caused thousands to get sick.
People took precautions. Every Denny’s served the Grand Slam Breakfast with an airsickness bag as a place mat.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced she will host Palestinian-Israeli peace talks in Washington D.C. Observers were surprised the Israelis agreed to come to the United States for the talks. You’d think they would insist on a neutral country.
Larry King’s CNN exit stalled because Englishman Piers Morgan can’t get a work visa to replace King. Foreign work visas are hard to get. There are thousands of softball teams in America and surely one of them has a pitcher who could do that job.
Roger Clemens was indicted Thursday for telling the U.S. government he never did steroids.
The very same day the Iraq War ended, which began when the U.S. government told Roger Clemens that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.
Let’s just call it even.
