So Here's to you, Mrs. Robinson

I don't know what the writers were thinking.

Usually you don't bring in the wacky in-laws until second season, or maybe for the late season doldrums.

Look at how that ruined a perennial Neverwas like "The King of Queens". To quote from the Bard (Weird Al)

"The King of Queens jumped the shark the first minute!
I can't believe Richard Simmons ain't in it!"

Yet, here they go, dragging in Michelle's wacky mommy. She can't help but be wacky. After all she raised a daughter who was never proud of her country until her hubby was annointed by the DNC. The daughter that Little O claims was really attending all those sermons from Rev. Wright. Considering the content of her college writings I believe him. She was already seeing white sheets behind every liberal professor at Harvard.

Nevertheless I feel this is a real mistake for the writers of "The Obamas of Pennsylvania Avenue". They are bringing in the new characters too early. The show hasn't even made it's premier airing! We've just had the web teasers on YouMustObeyTube.

We all know the show's main star got a four year contract. They could have arranged to dump batty Michelle so that Little O could go on a soulful quest. To see life as his father saw it. From between the legs of several dozen women, leaving babies everywhere.

Let "The Tudors" put THAT in their greensleeves and smoke it!

Even if they kept it strictly PG without going for some of that T&A that makes cable so much fun we could be treated to double entendres and frisky innuendo. That way Little O would be REALLY recycling the Clinton Years.

"I hear the President gave up smoking."

"No, just Marlboros. Now he's doing cigars!"

{Cue the audience for a "Whoooooaaaaa!"}

If Little O is out there reading I hope he keeps in mind that I can be hired on to help write this schlock. I promise to not be so derviative as his current writers.

Bookies suspend bets on alien landing

Oct 13 2008

WORRIED bookmakers have stopped taking bets on aliens showing up on Earth.

It follows a flurry of bets amid internet buzz that a massive intergalactic spaceship will appear tomorrow.

Videos and messages on YouTube, blogs and UFO websites are buzzing with predictions that a vessel from the alien Federation Of Light will be visible in our skies for three days.

It may all sound more oddball than odds-on - but bookies William Hill are taking it seriously enough to temporarily suspend betting on proof of the existence of intelligent alien life being confirmed by PM Gordon Brown.

...

The rumour is believed to have been started by "channeler" Blossom Goodchild, who claimed to have received a psychic tip-off.

The stories have spread, along with a warning it would "cause panic among the masses".

One message claims: "They have carefully selected this time to show up and are doing it out of goodwill because of the great evils behind this world.

"It is time to become free from wars, pestilence, famine, poverty, sickness, disease, rich and poor and all the world sufferings."

Spokespersons for the Obama campaign confirm that Obama plans to declare war on the aliens.

"Obama is here to free us from wars, pestilence, famine, poverty, sickness, disease, rich and poor. Well, he's certainly going to free us from the burden of being rich!" Spokesperson Gwen Ifill stated.

MSNBC has gone to full 24 hour coverage of the alien crisis. Tune in this evening as Kieth Olbermann announces that the aliens are "THE WORST PERSONS IN THE UNIVERSE!" for daring to try and co-opt the message of Hope and Change brought to you only by Obama.

Remember, you can't spell Berkinow without B.O.

UPDATE!

The Obama campaign has learned that the aliens have arrived without the required visas. They have made a hasty about-face on the issue, giving them promises of full citizenship and instant status as welfare recipients.

"When others say we can't welcome invaders to our planet I say 'Yes we can!'" Obama is quoted as saying.

Spokesperson for the aliens, Ron Paul, says that the offer is proof there is no intelligent life on this planet and they visit has been canceled.
