Beware of ballet teacher through Parks and Rec

Just a heads up post for all the parents in my area ... the ballet instructor is frightening. I pulled S from the class after she was treated like a criminal for tossing a plastic shaker into the center of the circle. Uhh, lady these are two year olds and I, the mom, was on top of correcting the potentially wild behavior. Didn't need you chiming in and sharing that lovely ice queen glare at my two year old (you have that down, by the way. I'd call some casting directors and get back in the biz).

Barack Obama is invited to meet with the Pope while he is vacationing in Venice.

The conservative press reluctantly watches the semi-private audience, hoping
they will be able to allot minimal coverage, if any.

The Pope asks Senator Obama to join him on a gondola ride through the canals of
Venice.

They're admiring the sights and agreeing on moral issues when, all of a sudden,
the Pope's hat (zucchetto) blows off his head and out into the water.

The gondolier starts to reach for the Pontiff's cap with his pole, but this move
threatens to overturn the floating craft.

Barack waves the tour guide off, saying, "Wait, wait. I'll take care of this.
Don't worry."

He steps off the gondola onto the surface of the water and walks out to the
Pope's hat, bends over and picks it up. He walks back across the water to the
gondola and steps aboard.

He hands the hat to the Pope amid stunned silence.

The next morning the buzz among Republicans in Congress & on Fox News was like,

"Guess what? Have you heard, Obama can't swim!"
