FUNNY THINGS

Remember the lady who had octuplets?

There was an old woman who lived in a shoe.
She had so many children, she didn't know what to do.
She gave them some broth without any bread,
Then whipped them all soundly and put them to bed.

by Nick Newman (The TimesOnline)

Commentary
The cartoon connects the  birth of octuplets to a Californian mother earlier in the week with Obama's hectic first week in office. The babies represent Obama's policy initiatives. The joke comes from the play on the word "deliver". When someone delivers a baby, they help the woman who is giving birth. However, if someone "delivers", they do what they said they would do: This administration doesn't promise what it can't deliver.
