 Fairfax, VA, USA. Mark Twain said that the first of April is the day we remember what we are the other 365 days of the year. I don’t know much about that (or about history or geometry or the French I took), but I do know a news story when I see it.You might think I am an idiot, babbling and strewing flowers. Take with you the satisfaction that proceeds from a consciousness faithfully performed, dear readers. I have assembled a veritable triptych of curiosities I think you will find interesting. Or maybe not.
Read on.
But be aware all ye that enter here that this is not the Ides, not even close.
Curiosity #1: Beware The Vegans!
While the evil gay agenda appears to be nearly complete, the Topeka, Kansas based Westboro Baptist Church, which has been drawing national attention for staging anti-homosexuality demonstrations at military funerals (on the
 theory that fallen troops are God's punishment for a country tolerant of homosexuals), has found a new enemy for its righteous anger: the growing number of Godless Vegans. When asked why they will now be focusing on Vegans, Representatives of Westboro Baptist replied that
But why Vegans?
Curiosity #2: The President’s TelevisionAfter his successful appearances on the Tonight Show and others, President Obama has been offered numerous opportunities to extend his television career and further his political agenda. He is currently considering the following options.
In addition to the three publicly known offers, sources have confirmed that White House advisors pitched a dramedy about a young state assemblymen who runs for a vacant U. S. Senate seat and, when his opposition is caught in scandal, wins what is basically an unopposed contest. After two years in the Senate, the young senator finds himself running for president and, when none of the opposing candidates are articulate, he becomes President of the United States.
The series would split its focus between political events and war and his family life where he has two cute children and a muscular, professional wife who refers to him as my darling POTUS. Bill Cosby and Oprah have signed on as technical advisors.
Hollywood sources also indicate that the series so far has been rejected by studio suits as unbelievable. A Vice President responsible for multiple successful reality shows expressed off the record doubts that such a series would have any legs.
Curiosity #3: Twitter Me ThisTwitter is the new Facebook, the Cat’s Meow. Although many Twitter messages resemble the babblings of an obsessive narcissist --
— Twitter is attracting the clamoring attention of media, politicians, and avaristic entrepreneurs.
No one seems daunted by 140 character limitation of a Twitter message. Everyone seems to want a piece of the Twitter.
Even Rome.
The Roman Curia has begun publication of the Bible in Twitter Format, starting at the beginning with Genesis. Here is a bit of the Twitter Word of God, 140 characters at a time.
The Vatican expects to finish twittering the Old Testament sometime in 2012-13 at which point they will begin the New Testament. The number of individual 140 character messages needed to twitter the entire Bible is estimated at 2.37 billion.
