Obama, Angelina Jolie, and the Doctor of all scammers

A Texas doctor is facing charges for allegedly scamming Medicare out of almost $375 million over 5 years for bogus medical services, the largest healthcare fraud operation in history.  The old record was whatever you paid in health insurance premiums last year.
The doctor’s justification for the entire scam was explaining how expensive greens’ fees have gotten.
The scam was based on billing Medicare for services for thousands of elderly, poor, and homeless people who never really received services, needed or not.  Or as that’s usually called, Medicare.

After Angelina Jolie prominently displayed her right leg through the slit in her dress while presenting at the Oscars on Sunday, the image of her striking the pose has gone viral.  Even her ex-husband Billy Bob Thornton, whose blood she used to wear in a tiny vial around hr neck said, “Yeah, she’s gotten weird.”.
The pose has been named “Jolie-ing,” a la ‘planking’ or ‘Tebowing’, and it’s definition is “standing in a pose that makes Jennifer Aniston feel inferior.”

President Obama has pledged to buy a Chevy Volt.  Didn’t he already bail General Motors out once?
He says he is going to buy a Volt.  So, that’s his plan to lower gas prices.
Chevrolet is worried, because since the president promised to buy a Volt, that means he’ll change his mind and not do it.
The president said he would buy the Volt in 5 years, when he isn’t president anymore.  It’s a dark prediction for the economy when the president is already forecasting that he’ll need to buy a 5-year-old car after leaving office.
For having a “5 Year Plan,” Republicans immediately labeled Obama a Stalinist Commie.

“The New Car Pool” or “Fuel for Thought”


Students from Virginia Tech University won a U.S. Department of Energy contest by engineering a Chevy that gets 82 miles per gallon.  The students could also get a huge cash prize, if they accept Big Oil’s offer to destroy the eco-technology.

For the students, it’s the best of both worlds: they are good mechanics, but they’re still nerds.

Students from Ohio State, and U. of Waterloo, Ontario came in 2nd and 3rd place for their eco-car innovations.  Last place went to a community college, whose only fuel-efficiency modification to their car was to paint it red.
