From the desk of John Podesta,

Presidential Elect Barak Obama Transition Team

Position of Secretary of State

For immediate release

Everyone here has been discussing and speculating on

the purpose of Senator Clintons visits and consultations

with the President-elect and the likely possibility

that she will be asked and nominated to become the next

Secretary of State. The conservative media and the

Republican attack machine has come out embracing the

questions of effectiveness in the light of her husbands,

the former Presidents, own philanthropy and fully legal

dealings as both an individual and effective representative

called upon time and time again by the current President

to both represent the United States and spearhead disaster

relief and awareness efforts on this governments behalf.

While fully appreciating the International appeal and

reputation of Senator Clinton and the obvious strength and

deportment she would be bring to any and all international

efforts, the President elect is also loathe to lose her

vitality and strength of commitment to championing causes

as the voice of reason in the Senate that she should have

to resign that seat to become Secretary of State.

To that end and with those requirements in mind,

President Elect Obama, after careful thought and quiet

deliberation, will propose Senator Clinton as the

FIRST ANIMATED SECRETARY OF STATE.

Bringing both the Voice talents of Hillary Clinton and the

animation genius of Matt Groenig together in service to their

country. After consultation with esteemed constitutional lawyers,

it has been established that “while it’s nice to have a human being

in the position, you don’t really have to.” And that being a voice

actor, even if it’s the “voice behind the office”, there would be

NO constitutional requirement for Senator Clinton to give up

her Senate seat. Esteemed constitutional lawyers contacted for

their opinion were even of the opinion that

“Animated Representatives” would not even have to be

confirmed by the Senate.

Senator Clinton and Mr. Groenig will be meeting shortly to

design a character to the Senator’s liking.

The Senator has stated a fondness for a “leala” kind of Kick-butte

type of character while the Former President has been effusive

in his praise for “that amy wong, WOW”.

More to follow.

Hello, I am BP jr of the USGS, you have

-excuse me. Andrew Revkin New York Times. Your paper says “for immediate release, July 3 2008” and today is September 13, would you care to comment? Huh?

BP jr -thank you Mr. Revnik, in geological time, 2 months is a drop in the bucket.

You have all been

-Me Me Me. Denise Gellens Los Angeles Times? Yes. thank you. I notice throughout your reports the USGS continues to use the aniquated form of measure the English Unit. What do you think this says to our European Allies that once again we throwing American hegenomy in their faces by refusing to adapt our measures to those units that the majority of the rest of the world that matters is using in their everyday lives? How do you think it makes them feel? Really?

Small children included.

BP jr- thank you Ms. Gellens. The report is in the form of standard scientific notation that relevant international organizations would find comfortable to read. It is probably written above the level of most small children.

You have all been given

-thank you for calling on me. Juliet Eiperin, Washington Post. THE Washington Post. uh huh.

that’s correct. When all else is said and done, and the billions and billions and billions of barrels of oil have been extricated from the pristine environnment and the land has been raped and plundered; what is going to have happened to that smallest and most delicate of god’s creature:

the wood frog? What plans have you made to salvage even the smallest part of his environment?

WHAT are you going to DO!?

BP jr- thank you Ms. Eiperin. As it is my understanding that wood frogs are fundamental to the diet of caribou, I would anticipate we will be feeding them to the deer.

If I may continue: You have all been given a packet

-Right. If I have to come down here you’ll damn well answer my questions. Antonio Regelado.

WSJ. Would you care to elaborate on your relation to ‘Big Oil’ as it applies to the exploitation of our national resources in relation to stable commodity pricing, FIFO, LIFO and what the FO and venture capitalism’s inherent instability when dealing with the possible current extraction technology problems drilling in reallyreallyreally cold weather and why are the initials in your name the same as “british petroleum”. BP.? quickly now, I’m on deadline. ticktock, ticktock.

BP jr- FO indeed Mr. Regelado

One last time, You have all been given a packet with relevant information

-I’m really sorry. Elizabeth Weise, USA today. This isn’t the Bernstein bar mitzvah?

BP jr-Down the hall and to the left dear.

Thank you and goodbye.

Department of State

Select questions Nov 7, 2008 on the transition

Q- can you comment on the transition from the Bush to the Obama administration?

Mr. W- Yes, and thank you for that question: We initially thought that we would be able to use most of the existing stationary, and just white out the “ush”, and type the “O” and “ama” around the existing “B”. But after prolonged and substantive discussions with the transition team, it was decided that having to have ALL of the President-elects surname in capitals, as would be required “O-B-A-M-A” as the currents Presidents first letter in his last name is capitalized “B-u-s-h” would neccessitate the President-elects christian name being capitalized also “B-A-R-A-K” and that is not the message the President-elect wants to send; ALL the stationary will be new and with the President-elects full name with only the initial letters capitalized: “B-a-r-a-k O-b-a-m-a”

Q- we understand that you have a team of..

Mr.W- that is a team of 24 State Department employees ready to assist the transition team.

Q- Can you tell us their make-up?

Mr. W- yes: they are broken up evenly into 4 teams with one center, two point guards, two forwards, and the rest utility players. They will be available through out the transition period for one on one or a “round robin” type of play whenever required. The teams are made up of career state department basketball players so the transition team will get the very best the state department has to offer.

Q-is it true that Secretary Rice might…?

Mr. W- anytime. Secretary Rice can play with the big dawgs and she’s never been shy about showing the kids how the “pro’s” put the moves on the floor.

thank you.

It is the opinion of the Fermi LLG that the probability that the LHC will produce a world ending cataclysmic event are well within the ‘but this is really exiciting stuff’ range of error that we Physicists use when deciding whether or not to go ahead with these things.
