George Washington owes $300,000 in library late fees

By GottaLaff

The Father of Our Country stiffed a public library? What kind of example will this set for the kiddies? First he chops down a cherry tree, now this?

What next, we find out his teeth were his own and he hated wigs? What's happening to this great country of ours?! Say it ain't so!

Oh no. I just had a thought. The Tea Baggers. Just think of the chopped liver they'll make with this:

A New York library is pretty sure that long-deceased President George Washington owes about $300,000 in late fees.

Staff at the New York Society Library discovered papers recently that showed Washington in 1789 borrowed the 12th volume of the "Commons Debates" and a copy of "Law of Nations," yet never returned either tome.

Next thing you know, we'll see signs at Tea Tantrum rallies that say, "Washington's team didn't pay fines! Why should we?

The New York Daily News has more.

Quote-O'-The-Day: Obama playing which card?

By GottaLaff

I heard this excellent snark on the radio today, regarding Obama's line about not looking like "all those other presidents on the dollar bill", and accusations that he was playing the race card:

"Playing the race card? Have you seen all those guys on our currency? He was playing the powdered wig card!"

How dare he.
