you who are residents of California, you can stop stockpiling food and water.
You can unlock your doors again. Miss California is keeping her crown! So
California is no longer rudderless. We have a leader.

Obama Shrugs Off Snub At ASU
President Barack Obama
says Arizona State University officials aren't the only ones who think he needs
to accomplish more to earn an honorary degree.
Add his wife Michelle to that list.
"I come here not to dispute the suggestion that I haven't yet achieved enough in
my life," Obama said in a commencement speech Wednesday. With a smile he added:
"First of all, Michelle (Obama) concurs with that assessment.
She has a long list of things that I have not yet done waiting for me when I get
home."
"Dick
Cheney, the former vice president, said that President Obama went too far with
the jokes at the correspondents' dinner. By too far, does Cheney mean like
waterboarding a guy 183 times?" --David Letterman

How about
this? Anybody ever mail anything any more? Well, the price of a stamp is going
up to 44 cents. Pretty soon, it will actually be cheaper and easier to just put
a little glue on a dollar bill and stick it to an envelope.

What a scandal we’ve had brewing here in the Golden State. You’re not going to believe this, but Miss California, a beauty contestant, posed for naked pictures. Her fate was decided by Donald Trump, who owns the Miss USA pageant. Trump says Miss California can keep her crown. Actually, her trouble started when she stated her opposition to same-sex marriage. And after noting that even President Obama does not support same-sex marriage, Trump pointed out that he personally believes that marriage is a sacred institution between a man and a series of progressively younger women.- Jimmy Kimmel

Cleaning Up Bush's Mess
The Obama administration is asking Congress to extend its oversight of the financial system to include the shadowy market of derivatives, the kind of complex financial instruments that helped catapult the world into an economic crisis.
"The price
of a postage stamp went up to 44 cents this week. Isn't that unbelievable? They
said they had to raise the price because fewer and fewer people are using the
mail these days. That's government thinking, isn't it? 'Hey, nobody's buying our
product. Let's raise the price.'" --Jay Leno
