Fun with the News: Repubs & More

James Bond will change his drink to Heineken’s Beer in the new movie Sky Fall. For fifty years he’s ordered a martini, shaken not stirred. In the new movie he meets half the number of girls Bond used to meet in the bar because he must make twice as many trips to the bathroom.

Tim Tebow arranged to be photographed getting a pedicure and a manicure at a West Hollywood salon. He had his nails painted with white crosses on black polish. Evangelicals have made up their mind if they’re going to campaign for Romney they’d better look good in flip-flops.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Thursday that U.S. citizens can be strip-searched by authorities for any reason that the authorities deem necessary. The courts want to give the police plenty of latitude. If you don’t take off the hoodie, you can’t make a rational decision.

O.J. Simpson did not murder his wife, Nicole Brown, eighteen years ago, according to an investigator’s book, which says O.J.’s son did it. The revelation and controversy is right on time. If Los Angeles doesn’t burn itself down every eighteen years the trees don’t bear fruit.

North Korea vowed to go ahead with its long-range missile launch of a satellite into orbit Thursday risking U.S. reprisal. Long-range missiles are no longer necessary to destroy another nation. You just borrow money from the country and refuse to pay it back.

The Agriculture Department warned Friday that the U.S. faces a shortage of younger farmers. The secretary told reporters the average age of a farmer in New Mexico, Texas and Arizona is nearly sixty. The department should have factored in California where thanks to its perfect growing climate for marijuana the average age of a farmer is fifteen.
