“Wow,” you may be saying to yourself. “Stilt certainly went a long way to set up that joke.” But not as far, we hasten to point out, as Barack Obama himself has gone for his joke of a visit to Alaska – spewing tons of planet-killing gasses from Air Force One the entire way.
The president has journeyed to the 57th state (or is it the 56th?) in order to take credit for new oil drilling and to decry the imminent environmental disaster the world faces from, uh, new oil drilling. Say what you will about the man, but he does have a gift for hypocrisy.
Speaking of which, while in Alaska Mr. Obama will also be taping a guest appearance on the popular reality series “Running Wild with Bear Grylls” in which the president will demonstrate the wilderness survival skills he’s honed during multiple visits to Martha’s Vineyard.
Scheduled events include discussing climate change while hiking along a glacier which has shrunken by a terrifying 1.25 miles “in recent decades” and, if circumstances allow, killing and devouring a wild dog topped with Indonesian “Soetoro sauce.”
