Blog Guy, I get ALL of my news from your blog!

You must be an interesting guest at dinner parties.

Yes, I am. So can you give us the inside scoop on the Pittsburgh G20 meeting?

Oh, you mean the Pittsburgh Prom… They just try to make it sound like a G20 meeting so people don’t complain so much about the cost.

it was really a gathering of a bunch of world leaders who love ballroom dancing, as you can see in these random news photos.

They show each other new dance steps, practice their manners and stuff like that. Sort of a debutante kind of deal.

I think that’s a big fat lie. You know why? Because NOBODY would want to dance with…

Hey! Stifle yourself! If you can’t say something nice about a world leader, then don’t say anything at all!

Bob, the fact that you can turn the most important news into the most trivial blog is what makes us love you so much.

Obama will continue to show the world that he is just a shame weak and an incapiable of running anything but the most corrupt state in the USA. Shame on America for voting this man into office.

That pic of Obama and Merkel looks out of a 70’s movie poster… dontcha think? (batting eyelids)

It kind of does look like Merkel is going the pash on Obama…

And that is why Michelle Obama is about to introduce Mrs. Merkel to the pointed part of her pink pump.
