Report: Majority Of Government Doesn't Trust Citizens Either [theonion.com]
One typical respondent, President Barack Obama, said he found it hard to trust the judgment of U.S. citizens after recent events, including their decision to elect a president who promised health care reform and then come out against health care reform.

"How can I have hope for a nation that regularly protests tax cuts that directly benefit them?" Obama said. "Look, I'm not always perfect at my job, either, but I think I could make a halfway coherent comment on a YouTube video if I had to. Isn't that basically all they do?

Added Obama, "At this point, the only positive thing I can say about the American people is that I'm pretty sure they've never rigged an election in their favor."

Smoove Is Waiting [wwww.theonion.com]
We were like two love prospectors who discovered richer and richer veins of pure ecstasy. We would bump and grind in the dimly lit tunnels as shining white donkeys would carry wagons of our love to be washed off and then smelted down into fine pieces of jewelry, which I would place on your naked chocolate body while you slept. When you awoke, we would freak again.

...

I would, at this point, like to ask any women that I am currently dating to stop reading this column.
Stop Making Movies About My Books by Dr. Seuss [www.theonion.com]
Why it's simply an outrage—a crime, you must judge!—

Not commercialous slop for Jim Carrey to ruin.
