DIVERSIONS

Not that they need it, but, a recent commentary suggested other ways that the present Administration can deflect public criticism from many of their more serious changes in the direction that this country is being taken. Although I believe that there are some really bad future consequences to these moves, a little light humor may prove to be useful. So, here are those 10 suggested diversions:

1. Do we know definitively how many licks it takes to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop?
2. Alitalia loses luggage like Drew Peterson loses wives. They need to be punished. Severely.
3. I was promised flying cars at some point in the new millennium.
4. Update Great Britain’s official DVD collection…oh, wait, never mind.
5. I hear the upstairs bathroom outside the Lincoln Bedroom is a pigsty.
6. Put a ShamWow, Chop Slap, and the Snuggie, that wizard-like blanket with sleeves, in every household across the country.
7. Stop neglecting Facebook page and Twitter — keep those presidential status updates fresh.
8. Take advantage of tanking airline industry, and go on that long overdue second honeymoon with Sandals Royal Bahamian all-inclusive “Romance Package.”
9. Pen second autobiography.
10. Get Rod Blagojevich his own NBC Variety Show.
