jenny's thoughts

The University of Jenny announced today that the Center for Socio-political Craziness has been awarded 25 cents (USD) for their recent application to study any linkage between the wave of small, online political donations that are said to have won Obama his democratic nomination and the recent outbreak of pet owners cuing in front of charities for free pet food and discounted services.

University president Dr. Wilsen believes the center’s findings will be enlightening. “We’re going to see the priorities of American domestic spending. This weekend I listened to a “Wait Wait Don’t tell me” podcast from MPR/NPR where Minnesota Governer Jesse Ventura answered questions for the game “Not my job.” The governor make some interesting remarks about how taxpayers are paying Obama and Clinton salaries to campaign, and all the while they’re not doing the job they’re being paid for. When the Center’s research proposal came across my desk, I just couldn’t say no.”

Center director Mr. Clint Bama said he was inspired while reading the news articles. He wondered why the journalists didn’t ask better questions. “Wouldn’t it have been smarter if, when interviewing the woman who couldn’t afford her bloodpressure meds because of her ailing pets, the journalist asked how much money she contributed to an election campaign? Those are the cold, hard facts. Maybe FoxNews did something like this. We’re going to use our graciously-funded quarter ($0.25) to look deeper into the situation. Thank you, President Jenny.”

Findings will hopefully be available before the end of the week. The Center for Socio-political Craziness proposal originally requested $0.20, but were granted the extra $0.05 because the president was in such a great mood.
