Vice President Joe Biden denies that he gave away the secret location of Dick Cheney's bunker hideout at the recent Gridiron Dinner. He maintains that it can't be much of a secret when anyone can buy a map of Washington D.C. with the exact location of the Old Naval Observatory with a red arrow pointing to the bunker?
Of course, just to be safe, Biden will be bunking with some unnamed friends at undisclosed locations for the rest of his term.
He has already called the Speaker of the House for some pointers on backtracking public statements.
President Obama just shrugged off the latest Biden gaffe. He sees the Vice President as his number one key to job security.
While overseas, the President met with Israeli President Netanyahu and they discussed the Palestinian situation, Middle East peace and Iranian nuclear ambitions. Netanyahu was noncommittal on all the issues for fear of alienating his political base. It's hard to believe anyone would play politics with...uh... national security...um...issues...oh never mind.
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geither told the Nation's CEO's aren't going to have to worry about the government putting limits on the amount of money they can earn. It was a bad idea anyway. Who would want to serve a brunch of roasted Golden Goose?
A U.N. report has been issued warning that the poor will suffer more from global-warming-induced weather extremes. One example they cite is the 19 million people in greater Manilla living in shanty towns who would be swamped should the city be hit by a tsunami. Apparently, swamping 19 million people in nice homes would be preferable.
At the Cannes Film Festival controversial director Lars von Trier's disturbing film "Antichrist" shocked the jaded audience and drew boos and jeers when it ended. Von Trier was not bothered with the audience reaction. "I don't make movies for the audience. I make them for myself." he said. That should make it more challenging for him to find investors for his next film when ROI is DOA.
