Aging Americans

Heh.

WASHINGTON—Recent side-by-side photographic comparisons of Americans before and after he assumed the presidency have confirmed the stress of Barack Obama’s time in the White House has taken a significant toll on the U.S. populace, dramatically accelerating the nation’s signs of aging.

“It’s striking, really, to see how, after just three years of being president, Barack Obama has markedly aged the country,” Beltway ob­server Andrew Soisson said Wednesday, adding that the stress of watching Obama deal with a stagnant economy, multiple wars, and other crises at home and abroad has left the country with more pronounced wrinkles and significantly grayer hair. “It’s a far cry from inauguration day, when a younger, healthier, and more vibrant populace watched Obama take the oath of office.”

“Remember Obama’s 2008 campaign?” Soisson added. “People were energized and full of spunk and vigor. But you look at pictures of Americans then compared to now and it’s like night and day.”

    Soccer Fan

    To each his own.

    WILMINGTON, DE—As the 2010 World Cup approaches, friends, family, and coworkers of 32-year-old Brad Janovich are growing less tolerant of the exuberant behavior of the United States’ lone soccer fan.

    “Who’s got World Cup fever?” Janovich asked his officemates at Credit Solutions Friday, failing to notice their silent stares as he reported for work clad in the sole Team USA jersey sold this year. “I do! I’ve got World Cup fever!”

    “Check out this World Cup wall chart I just bought,” added Janovich, who is the only American citizen currently aware that the World Cup begins June 11.

    Obama’s Rap Video Debut

    I agree with Adrian Chen at Gawker.  This is the coolest Barack Obama conspiracy theory ev-ah. 

    A tipster sent in a link to the music video for Tag Team’s 1993 smash hit “Whoomp (There It Is)” along with the note:

    Barack [is] in the Tag Team “Whoomp there it is” video. Don’t believe me? Judge for yourself.

    We were highly skeptical, since “Judge for yourself” sounds like something that precedes one of those multi-colored ALL CAPS emails that proves Barack Obama is the Anti-Christ, as predicted in THE BIBLE. But after watching the video, we had to admit that at 1:01 there is a guy who does resemble Barack Obama, talking on a cell phone! Seriously! Look for yourself!

    Here he is:

    And for the memories… here’s the video.

    Bears Everywhere

    A reader pointed out this riveting TV coverage picking up on the MJS’ daily bear sighting stories.  Probably NSFW - depending on where you work.

    Feed Where You Please


    Advocacy Group: Mothers Have Right To Expose Milk-Engorged Breasts In Public

    UPDATE: I should probably tell y’all my actual opinion on breast feeding in public before I get accused of all sorts of crap that I don’t actually think. 

    Breast feeding is perfectly natural and healthy for babies.  Mothers still need to live their lives and do things in public.  There are also other options available for mothers to give their children breast milk without exposing their breasts in public (pumping and using bottles), but sometimes circumstances intervene and those options aren’t available.  So, what do I think?

    Should breast feeding be legal in public?  Absolutely. 

    Should private businesses be allowed to require women to conceal themselves or go to a private area in order to breast feed?  Yes.

    In short, I come down to this: breast feeding is fine and necessary, but it can be done with some decorum in respect of surrounding people.  The same is true for most necessary biological functions.

    Drunk People Demonstrating Yoga Positions

    Personally, my favorite is the Setu Bandha Sarvangasana.

    I think I saw Jeff Wood in one of those.
