Barack The President vs. Barack The Elephant
The night before President Barack Obama’s inauguration, most of the world was getting a good night’s sleep in preparation for a day of heavy celebratory drinking. But things were not so calm at the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Center for Elephant Conservation, because on January 19, they welcomed in the birth of a healthy male Asian elephant, who they named Barack in honor of our 44th President. As our tipster Adam writes in “Ringling Bros. names an elephant calf Barack, thus creating a hybrid democrat/republican animal that will lead us to zoopolitical salvation.”

I'd totally eat it. But I also have been known to eat unfridged tamales that sat on my desk overnight. I figure I'm creating a stronger immunity system?
without his suit jacket
Also!! How much do I love our president? I mean, didn't Bartlet not wear a suit jacket on occasion? And yes, I'm aware he's fictitious but still....
"He's from Hawaii, O.K.?" said Obama's senior adviser, David Axelrod, who occupies the small but strategically located office next door to his boss. "He likes it warm. You could grow orchids in there."
A man after my own heart! It's a really good way to keep people in your office no longer than they need to be there, too.
