If You Can’t Bedazzle With Brains, Baffle With Bacon Sandwich

Toward the end of a question-and-answer session with workers at an advanced battery technology manufacturer, a woman named Doris stood to ask the president whether it was a “wise decision to add more taxes to us with the health care” package.

“We are overtaxed as it is,” Doris said bluntly.
Obama started out feisty. “Well, let’s talk about that, because this is an area where there’s been just a whole lot of misinformation, and I’m going to have to work hard over the next several months to clean up a lot of the misapprehensions that people have,” the president said.

He then spent the next 17 minutes and 12 seconds lulling the crowd into a daze

POTUS: brevity.

In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.
Proverbs 10:19

Update: Teach had a good title, too, but I win the alliterative battle.

    I’ll have my employer stop misinforming my paycheck then.

    I believe that the book of Revelations in the Bible has been misinterpreted.

    Revelation 6:1-2 in fact.

    1 As I watched, the Lamb broke the first of the seven seals on the scroll.[a] Then I heard one of the four living beings say with a voice like thunder, “Come!” 2 I looked up and saw a white horse standing there. Its rider carried a bow, and a crown was placed on his head. He rode out to win many battles and gain the victory.

    After a little bit of studying, I think that was translated wrong. The correct version should be “It’s rider bowed a lot, and a crown of peace. . .”
