Or, "Lie back and think of Chicago"

When I went to the newspaper page to read about the Secret Service members getting secretly serviced, a Meebo bar appeared at the bottom of the screen. Barack needs your help! I'll say.
It’s one of those helpful geegaws sites use to say “hey, we know you came here for something else, but let us make your experience annoying by giving you something to click so it will go away. Thanks!” Seems an odd thing for a newspaper to do; makes it look as if they’ve decided to drop all pretenses and help the president.
I thought this was apt:
Couldn’t have put it better myself.

Perhaps he has more in common with Clinton than we first thought?

I guess Meebo thought James was Israel.

That is some serious malware. I bet it takes away half your hard drive and then chastises you for having a faster PC than 99% of the country.

I can't think of a worse catchphrase for Dear Leader (right now) than "I'm in"....as in "said one SS agent to another." Hope this isn't a CoC violation. It's such an amazingly bad piece of timing for OFA. (grin)

I was rolling over laughing at Lileks.
We still want to know why this isn't released for Kindle.

Duane: "Falling up the Stairs" should be in the Kindle store by June, along with my new novel, "Graveyard Special." After that I'll be releasing two more, six months apart; it's a series. And a popular prices, too. Thanks!

The geegaw misspelled the word "bend" there, I think.

It's morning time. Can we pay the Obama admin to leave the room with no fuss? It seems to me this president is doing to me what the soiled doves were doing to our Secret Service.

Run, don't walk to Amazon, everyone. I will be buying "Falling up the Stairs" to read for the third time. And I will laugh out loud this time as well.
Everyone who has ever wanted to toss Michael Jacobson of CSPI off a cliff when he tried to outlaw your movie popcorn will feel great relief.

Obama inherited Secret Service licentiousness from the Bush administration.

Perhaps Clinton contributed by some small measure.

Hold your breath for breaking intel that W and Cheney's influence are at least somewhat responsible for Clinton's problems. New scientific findings suggest that the Bush Administration was so toxic its effects seeped backwards.

Is this a new tongue twister:She secretly services secret service men at the seashore.
