Obama Says, “Here Is Lame Duck All Will Appreciate”

He is talking about the large inflated rubber duck floating in Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour.

The concept is from Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman.  The duck is taller than Obama towering 16.5 meters high.  Soon teenagers will be attempting to climb to the top of the duck which will result in the biggest belly flops seen since the “Splash” show premiered.

President Obama Puts The Pedal To The Medal

It is not every day you get to see how productive a President can be.

President Barack Obama pedals bicycle-powered emergency water-sanitation station for Payton Karr, 16, left, and Kiona Elliott, 18, center, both from Oakland Park, Fla., to help demonstrate their invention, Monday, April 22, 2103, in the East Garden of the White House in Washington, where the president hosted the White House Science Fair to celebrate the student winners of a broad range of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) competitions from across the country. The bicycle filters E. Coli and other harmful pathogens from contaminated water. (AP Photo/Pablo Martinez Monsivais)

President Obama is filtering water for drinking.  See this article for more information.

NASA Wants To Change Name To LASSO

The new acronym would stand for the Lasso Asteroids Space System Organization or better yet the Lasso Asteroids Space System for Obama.  Which do you like better?

lasso_satellite

The new organization’s main purpose is to fly an Orion spacecraft with an astronaut aboard to an asteroid, perform a tethering maneuver and tow the asteroid home.

CBS News has also learned that the new organization, LASSO, is seeking permission  to use its technology to lift Louie Anderson of the Splash show out of the pool.

Scientists agree this is better than having NASA wait around for the next President named Kennedy to give them a goal.

 

 

 

Kim Jung and Obama Play Ping Pong

Okay not physically. Not like what Nixon and Kissinger did to open relations with China.  We are talking about verbal ping pong.  It all started when Obama made sure he had bigger binoculars.  NEWS ALERT – KIM GETS NEW BINOCULARS – See below.

UPDATE AT BOTTOM.

Several days ago President Obama visited the Korean demilitarized zone and said, “It’s like looking across 50 years into a country that has missed 40 years or 50 years of progress.”  For more information see the following website. http://www.theatlanticwire.com/global/2012/03/Obama-Issues-North-Korea-Warning-Relatively-Safe-Distance/50301/

North Korea announced “the time has come to settle accounts with the US imperialists.”  See the following for more details. http://www.presstv.ir/usdetail/295615.html

US Defense Secretary Hagel admitted that “several B-2 bombers dropped dummy bombs on a South Korea island.”  Here is more: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/mar/28/b-2-stealth-bombers-drill-south-korea-defense-secr/

North Korea stated through it news agency that it has entered a “state of war” with South Korea as seen at the following website. http://news.yahoo.com/north-korea-issued-ultimate-definite-last-totally-final-022720835.html

Now North Korea has stated it has approved a nuclear attack on the United States.  Here are details. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/world/north-korea-gives-final-approval-for-nuclear-attack-on-united-states/story-fnd134gw-1226612136732

White House Petition

The US has responded to aggressive talk by the North Koreans by further participating in drills with South Korea, positioning ships in the area and beefing up defenses in Guam.

We need to balance that strong defense with political gestures.  The perfect gesture is to mail 2 NY Knicks Tickets to the homes of the Supreme Leader Kim Jung Un and His Generals.  This way they know we know their home addresses and at the same time offer a gift to resume talks.  Please sign the petition at https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/reduce-n-korea-tensions-mailing-2-ny-knicks-tickets-homes-kim-jung-un-and-his-generals/4lYgFmxH

NEWS ALERT – KIM GETS NEW BINOCULARS

We will monitor this tense situation and see if Kim Jong Un gets his NY Knicks tickets..

Interstellar Program Is Out of This World

We are not talking about a space program with visits to Mars.

None

This is a national competition with the support of the American Mathematics Competition (AMC) which is sponsored by the Mathematical Association of America (MAA).

Whew!  Enough of the acronyms already!

The idea is to test the mathematical prowess of every high school and create the equivalent of the NCAA brackets.  Only for math instead of basketball.

You could say it is going where no one has gone before.
