Our president, the current one, is not very bright. This is something that could be debated, but evidence clearly exists.

Was he snowed into giving the shocker? Photoshop, you say, and I reply with, “This photo is on whitehouse.gov. Not .com where it’s a porn site, but the actual White House site.” He’s a dingle. Now if Clinton had done this, you’d know it was on purpose.

Cracked writes something of substance… world in deeper peril than previously imagined, read the headline that morning.

I wanted to try a really long headline. Like my resume site, ChristopherElst.com, this site will be getting an overhaul shortly, both in design and usage. I intend to make my blog more amenable to the passing user, although I doubt I will be able to resist the LiveJournal-ly overly personal diary entries now and again. I’ve been making most of those private, so that only my hacker friends are bored with me.

If you can stick to the text and ignore the Cracked.com shell, there’s actually a point to be made in there, particularly toward the top of the list — which in our times comes at the bottom of the article. The interwebs inverted our inverted pyramid, Journalism majors!
