When will the Labor Department finally bust CNN for employing a dimly lit room full of second-graders to write the news stories on its website?
Former President George H.W. Bush returned to his old office on Tuesday for a brief meeting with President Obama.
Yes, he did used to be president. Very good.
Bush, the 41st President of the United States is in Washington to recieve the Presidential Medal of Freedom later this afternoon in the East Room.
Sure, that’s a detail.
Today’s meeting is not the first for the two presidents.
A+. Now, any idea what these two men talked about or what it has to do with politics? Or any idea why George Bush is giving Obama that look he gave Barbara when he was trying to figure out how to kill Saddam Hussein and she shoved that fetus jar in his face?
Never mind. Leave that stuff to the wonks at the Weekly Reader. [CNN]

This kind of reporting is why HuffPost is worth more than regular media – that and the stupidity of AOL.
Not to mention the Iranian protester's buttcrack shot that's been up all day.
Well Jack, at least they didn't call it the Offal Office which it wuz called when Shrub and Rummy were around. But then again, the same wars are still kinda around…
Surely you don't expect CNN to admit that they don't know what the fuck is going on?
Fucking typos. that should read "President's Meat in Oval Office." there, fixed.
Beat me to it.
Presidents beat the meat in oval office? Wasn't that a different era?
I think you're right…however, the circle jerk has since moved to the house of representatives.
And another thing: the crotch, down where your nuts hang, is always a little too tight. So when you make them up, give me a inch that I can let out there, because they cut me. They're just like riding a wire fence.
LBJ would have loved that one.
"Nothing get's by Crank!"
Yes, but which president's meat? One of those guys forgot to bring his meat.
They must have meant "Presidents' meat …"
Actually, I'm pretty sure that's supposed to read "President's Meat in Oval Orifice."
Inn other new's, son goze up, some gose downs sindrum. Al'so, two.
Still Breaking :
How'd d'moon get dere ? How'd it get dere ?
Who put it dere ?
How'd it get dere ? Huh?
Why don't Mars hab a moon?
Why dun Venus get a sun?
How d'moon get dere? C'mon.
Do people actually read CNN.com? I thought that if you were smart enough to get your news online to avoid the 24-hour hackfests we call "news channels," you were smart enough to realize that CNN's website is utter shit.
This is just lamestream lie-beral CNN goofing & admitting Obama is, in fact, possessed.
Something evil this way comes.
B.O: Man, your kid fucked up huh?
B.O: Man, your kid fucked up huh?
That's right, President Obama. We should have never let him defile his Yale Education by going on to *cough* *spit* Hahvahd.

G.H.W.B.: Yes, in retrospect, we should have kept him as owner of the Texas Rangers no matter how much it cost to bail him out year after year.
They are just using the archaic noun form of "meet", meaning an assembly of persons. Thou complaint hast not validity Master Jack.
"thine" complaint, sirrah!
"thy" complaint! ("thine" argument!)
"Your son was kind of a tool when he was president."
"He takes after his mother."
Obama:
Say George, that son of yours really left me a mess around here.
Bush:
Yeah, he never lifted the toilet seat when pissed at home either.
Obama:
????????
Now, now, I'm sure they just happened to bump into each other while Barry was going about the business of running a country and George was going about the business of pretending he never had a son, and they merely paused to exchange a few pleasantries in the room that is symbolic of the seat of our nation's power. That's all.
They do the wanton apostrophizations of K /
K'sKs in bazebawl. They do it a lot."beisbol"
But they're sports"writers". The standards are lower in the toy department.
Fux News' headline:
"President and Obama's meet in the Oval Office"
"recieve"?
Do the second graders not know how to use spell check?
You know, I was prepared to be cute and consider that "President's meet" was adjective-noun in Hollywoodspeak, but "recieve" is just oh fuck it. I mean, that won't even get past a fucking spellchecker.
Obama is all like, "Jeeze, what's the deal with your kid?" and George is like, "OMG, I know right!" So Obama says, "Where's he been? He's suppose to be a kind of a goodwill ambassador thingie now, but all I hear about him is that some drunk guy was cutting doughnuts in his lawn." So George says, "Well the drunk dude was really Junior. So yeah, that's what he's been doing."
Obama, "OMGROTFLMAO!"
Maybe "meet" was being used not as a verb, but as noun, such as a short-hand for "meet-and-greet". And maybe the person he was meeting just happened to be another President, but not one entitled to have collective possession of the meet because he is a former President. Thus the apostrophe was in precisely the right location???
Ref: "recieve" above.
Meet is a noun — like a track meet. This is a president's meet, where they are debating over whose predecessor was more dimwitted. ("Yours was," "No, yours was.")
"Barry, read my lips: no new taxes (on the rich)."
Clearly an error here. Buddy Knox did not organize the meetup.
The President’s meet for a brief meeting
One wears boxers and the other, thongs.
Wrong Bush?
Shrub is Bush, Jr. Rummy, like love and herpes, is forever.
True, true. Sometimes I get a little braindead before I have my 5th cup of coffee.
Rummy is definitely just like herpes, not that I would know what herpes is like.
Obama: The guy who I replaced was a mess. He just wasn't brought up right.
Apostrophe FAIL. Second graders might get that right.
WP needs a spell checker. That would be 'President's meat in the Oval Office'. The way they have it now just doesn't make any sense.
Compared to current reporting, The Weekly Reader is hard-hitting journalism.
I'm so used to the random apostrophe that I didn't even notice. I'm so ashamed.
Maybe Obama just wanted to learn something about raising taxes, the peace dividend, and finishing a military campaign in the Middle East.
You don't need the fuckin' apostrophe there. Whoever is responsible at the CNN Web central, home of the best God-Damned Reporting In the World, ought to know that.
The Highway of Death is a war crime. Just as Dresden is a war crime. Only no-one wants to prosecute because it's the higher-ups who would get their asses burned.
War crimes are only committed by people who lose wars, silly.
GHWB: "Those fellows over there, the europe thingy, talking about indictments, my boy couldn't go to Switzerland, wouldn't be prudent,, can you talk to those guys over there, next they'll be indicting you and me, can't have that kind of thing. . ."
Where is Poppy getting his hair cut these days, Floyd's of Kennebunkport?
He got some BedHead goin' on.
He's too cheap. Babs does it, right after happy hour starts and she is out of her 'beautiful mind'.
Obama: George, what can I do to be a better Republican President?
Bush: I don't know man, you're doing a pretty good job of it now.
"When will the Labor Department finally bust CNN for employing a dimly lit room full of second-graders to write the news stories on its website?"
Please don't talk about second-graders like that.
When describing a member of the Bush clan, "I" goes before any other vowel, especially "U".
Maybe they meant "meet" as in "Suitable, fit, proper for some purpose or occasion, expressed or implied." (OED). The Presidents are suitable persons to occupy the Oval Office.
So that's why the Mormon Jeebus Bible refers to the plural wives as help-meets. I always thought it was a typo.
BO: But why didn't you have Jeb run instead? He's supposed to be the smart one.
GHWB: Cheney wouldn't have it. He wanted someone more malleable.
They corrected the apostrophe error
Barry totally blew it by going with with the bowl of fruit instead of pretzels.
It's that same bowl of wax apples he's had since his inauguration. WH needs more/newer ghey decorators, obvs.
Obama: George, no other President has had his manhood placed in a blind trust like you did. I am envious. What can I do to be more like you?
Bush: I don't know man, you're doing a pretty good job of it now.
South Dakota House Bill 1171 legalizes killing abortion doctors! Yay!
FOR AN ACT ENTITLED, An Act to expand the definition of justifiable homicide to provide for the protection of certain unborn children.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF SOUTH DAKOTA:
Section 1. That § 22-16-34 be amended to read as follows:
22-16-34. Homicide is justifiable if committed by any person while resisting any attempt to murder such person, or to harm the unborn child of such person in a manner and to a degree likely to result in the death of the unborn child, or to commit any felony upon him or her, or upon or in any dwelling house in which such person is.
Section 2. That § 22-16-35 be amended to read as follows:
22-16-35. Homicide is justifiable if committed by any person in the lawful defense of such person, or of his or her husband, wife, parent, child, master, mistress, or servant, or the unborn child of any such enumerated person, if there is reasonable ground to apprehend a design to commit a felony, or to do some great personal injury, and imminent danger of such design being
accomplished.
Fuckin' "Real Amurkins"
The crux of the biscuit is the Apostrophe.
I salute both your cultural literacy and your superior reaction time.
"The crux of the biscuit is the apostrophe" – FZ, 1974
After the meeting, former President George H. W. Bush announced he now has a second son he is more proud of than his own, thus joining President Obama with former President and world class horn dog, Bill Clinton.
GB – "You remind me of my son"
OB – "Huh? Jeb? W? Neal??!?"
GB – "No no – Bill. You know, the one who was president after me."
"Presidents' meat: Bush trimmed"
"Jamie," (why would an adult male use that as his professional name?) is quite a creative speller and grammarian. In an earlier post on the Presidential Medal of Honor, he uses the British spelling "endeavours," instead of "endeavors." Why not go all the way and report on "Ye Olde Presidential Medal of Honour?"
unnecessary possessive "'s" much?
HW-"Barry, I wish you were my son."
Barry-"Yes, I've had that nightmare too."
Plus they call it a "meet in" instead of a "meeting". Did Jethro Bodean take up journalism?
H.W. – "Barry, I'd just like to apologize for the mess my sonny W. made. He always was the stupid one."
Barry – "Apology accepted George….now GTFU so I can go back to getting my birth certificate out for the 47 thousandth time."
Is a President's meet like a swim meet but for presidents?
Or since Bush is there, is that make it more like the special olympics?
"Say George, you were the last reasonable Republican to hold office in this festering septic tank of a country. Think you could maybe start explaining to your partymates that they have turned into a bunch of democracy-destroying shitheads? Maybe mention that you were Reagan's VP for eight years and they have his legacy all wrong? Or do you figure you'll be dead before the barbarian hordes storm the gates at Kennebunkport so you can just go fishing and STFU?"
On the topic of wandering apostrophes (not entirely OT, then). I've mentioned before that I now live in a small town in the Sierra foothills. It's an old Boise Cascade vacation/retirement place, and it's on one of the highways to Yosemite, so we have a quite decent market/grocery store. Like pretty much every market everywhere, they use plastic bags. The bag is covered with printing that — aside from the store's logo — is aimed at persuading the consumer to recycle the bag. (And the market provides containers to do the recycling. And I don't know if the contents are actually recycled or just sent to the landfill — right now, the amount of petroleum in one of those bags is an insignificant fraction of what I burn driving to the store, and our landfill is about four thousand years away from being filled. (San Jose, where I lived for many years, has a phenomenally comprehensive recycling program, but it exists primarily because they've run out of nearby places to dump garbage). ).
Anyhow, on the back side of the bag from the logo, they have printed suggestions for reusing the bag. They're perfectly reasonable, if trite. But the headline reads
THIS BAG IS REUSABLE
SIX IDEA'S TO REUSE YOUR BAG
I love how 41 basically adopted Clinton as his favorite son. I bet Clinton sees more of 41 than Dubya.
Beware the Ide's.
