News, but not the serious kind

The White House can’t afford plates?

Blog Guy, I’m disappointed in you.

Most of my readers usually are. What did I do now?

Easter came and went and you didn’t offer up your usual Goofiest Easter Photo. What gives?

I’m still waiting for our panel of judges. It’s down to two finalists.

One shows President Barack Obama talking to the Easter Bunny. The other shows television personality Kelly Ripa doing something very weird with a crêpe.

Is that pronounced creep?

I’m not sure.

I don’t think I’d care to see that.

Yeah, it doesn’t look like Michelle Obama really wants to see it, either.

Have yourself a chocolate little Easter…

Blog Guy, I thought maybe you could run some photos to help get us in the mood for Easter tomorrow.

Sure. Now up here at the top, a guy is spreading chocolate to make Easter treats in…

I’ll NEVER do that again, I promise!

Blog Guy, every year at Easter time I see lots of photos of “penitents” from different places, which I gather has to do with repenting for sins and stuff like that. I was hoping you could elaborate a bit for your readers.

But I was hoping you could just make up stuff, as usual.

Okay. It appears some penitents have to wear hooded outfits which are VERY unfortunate in design, if you catch my meaning.
