IMAO Time Machine: Obama Fortune Cookies

I know Obama prefers burgers, but I’m guessing that he ate a lot of Chinese food on his recent trip.

I also assume that Chinese Chinese food comes with a fortune cookie, just like American Chinese food.

Which leads to the obvious speculative query: what fortunes did Obama get in his fortune cookies?

I speculate thusly:

  • You do good job! Take a bow!
  • If you have bad news to break, leave town and let Holder guy do it.
  • You look better wearing Mao jacket. Everyone look better wearing Mao jacket. Whole world wear Mao jacket soon!
  • You will try something new – a terrorist in New York City.
  • China cold like Chicago. Bring heavy coat.
  • Save lives. Make Biden walk.
  • Prosperity is coming. Just tax it until it go away.
  • Why you let wife go out in public dressed like that?
  • Today you meet friend from long ago. Tomorrow you throw him under bus.
  • Seriously, where birth certificate?

If you’ve gone through Obama’s trash recently and found any of his old fortune cookie fortunes, feel free to share in the comments.

Phonograph

On November 29, 1877, Thomas Edison demonstrated his phonograph for the first time. It was a very crude device, but it was the first thing that recorded and played back sound. And it didn’t look anything like what you normally think of when you hear someone mention a “phonograph.”

Now you know who to blame for all the noise you hear on the radio today.
