oh, p.s. the guy who was selling stuff is in his late 20s, went to law school, but instead of becoming a lawyer he started manufacturing bondage clothing and sex toys. his latest product is a robot that gives handjobs. now he's moving to china.

Team of Ballers

Turns out Obama is staffing his cabinet full of "Ballers", in this case meaning basketball players. James Jones, Eric Holder, Timothy Geithner, and Susan Rice are all ballers to some extent.


While the obvious humorous next step not invoking racism is to talk about them settling international disputes with games of HORSE, there is a much larger opportunity here - having this team as a powerful force for good in the great robot war. The ability of basketball players to defeat robots has been proven long ago, namely in the famous documentary "The Harlem Globetrotter's on Gilligan's Island".



If this doesn't give a much-needed jolt to consumer/investor confidence in America, I don't know what will.
