Jewish World Review August 17, 2011 / 17 Menachem-Av, 5771 And now for the important news .... By Argus Hamilton
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | President Obama flew to Minnesota Monday where he began a three-day bus tour of the heartland on two new buses. The Secret Service received special training for the Midwestern bus tour. They have to learn how to change a tire now that we've lost our AAA.
GOP candidate Michele Bachmann won the Iowa straw poll Saturday, edging Ron Paul in the day-long election at the Iowa fairgrounds. It's a leisurely event. The straw poll allows people to pick the next president or buy an ice cream cone, whichever line's shorter.
Washington D.C. had nine inches of rain Monday which stranded cab drivers in their cabs. Arriving lawmakers were stranded at the airport. DC cab drivers refuse to pick up congressmen because they won't pick up riders who are statistically likely to rob them.
Texas Governor Rick Perry announced his candidacy for president Saturday in South Carolina. He's a fervent evangelical Christian. The Democrats are already demanding to know why, if he loves Jesus so much, is he trying to kick him out of the White House.
The New York Times reported Monday the White House was considering creating a cabinet-level Department of Jobs. We know how this ends. In six months you won't be able to get into a job interview without a naked full-body scan and taking your laptop out of the case.
