LAS VEGAS – Major League Baseball got yet another black eye today when Sports Illustrated published excerpts from a book due to be released next week showing that former Cincinnati Reds superstar Pete Rose, banned from baseball for life for betting on games while he was the Reds’ manager, started placing bets as early as 1997 that St. Louis Cardinals superstar Mark McGwire was using performance-enhancing drugs. This information comes just a day after McGwire admitted using steroids in the 1980s and 90s.
McGwire lashed out at Rose following the revelation. “It is misconduct such as Rose’s gambling that engenders disrepute of our national pastime.”
Later, reporters caught up with Rose in a Las Vegas airport and asked him to comment on the revelations about McGwire. Baseball’s all-time hit leader smiled and said, “It’s tragic. And I win.”
WASHINGTON - President Obama today today credited the late acting guru Lee Stasberg with teaching him how to do a “negro dialect.” Mr. Obama made the revelation in response to queries about Sen. Harry Reid’s comment that Obama does not have a “negro dialect unless he wants to have one.”
“I am gratified that Senator Reid recognized my acting skills. I studied under Lee [Strasberg] for five years, perfecting the [negro] dialect,” said Obama.
“For the longest time, I just couldn’t get it, and I begged Lee to let me do a British dialect instead. But Lee held firm and taught me to call upon my ’affective memory,’ where I would summon up memories from my own experience to help me do the dialect.” Obama said he “summoned up memories of black people I’d seen on television growing up, and that’s what really enabled me to do the dialect.”
NEW YORK – Frito-Lay, a division of Pepsi-Co, announced yesterday that it will sponsor this February’s U.N. Conference on Genocide. The Conference, which will now be known as “The Tostitos U.N. Conference on Genocide,” will be hosted by popular emcee Ryan Seacrest.
The sponsorship gives Frito-Lay exclusive rights to all Genocide Conference hearings broadcast from U.N. Headquarters, along with an unspecified percentage of gross sales from the distribution of Genocide Conference apparel and merchandise.
U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and Frito-Lay CFO Joseph Dunn touted the sponsorship deal during a noon press conference yesterday. Both men were wearing 2010 Genocide Conference hooded sweatshirts.
WASHINGTON – Senate majority leader Harry M. Reid has apologized to Amos ‘n’ Andy, the lead characters in a racially offensive radio situation comedy that has been off the air for 50 years, for remarks he made during the 2008 presidential campaign about Barack Obama.
In the remarks in question, Reid said that Obama was “a light-skinned African American with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.”
Reid explained this morning that he would have apologized to Rev. Jesse Jackson, except “I can’t understand his dialect.”

Scientists at Hoboken State University reached a breakthrough by building a broken clock that is right not twice but three times a day.
The so-called Swayne Clock, named after the scientist in charge of the “broken clock project,” Dr. Noah Swayne, took two years and $5 million to build.
“It is our hope that in two to four years, we will be able to perfect a broken clock that is right multiple times a day,” explained Dr. Swayne. “Our ultimate goal is to build a broken clock that is right all the time.”
President promises “I’ll do my best,” reminds reporters, “Hey, I inherited this mess.”

WASHINGTON – United States Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano said that “the system worked” on December 7, 1941 when the Japanese military attacked the American naval fleet at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
“The Pearl Harbor attack couldn’t have gone any better,” she gushed on CNN. “The way that our men who survived the attack scrambled to avoid being killed, the fact that California wasn’t also attacked, our clean-up effort to dispose of the bodies — you name it, it was just a rip-roaring success all around.”
