Obama at the All-Star Game

Obama threw the first pitch at the All-Star game tonight. Shortly after that:
  • Price of hot dogs went up to $29.95.
  • Congress set all players' batting averages at .025.
  • Balls hit out of the park now called "homeless runs".
  • Massive influx of players named Rocko, Luigi, and Lefty.
  • Nachos and sodas outlawed for not being "carbon-neutral".
  • Teams will be disqualified for having any right-handed pitchers or batters.
  • Any fans rooting for the home team will be ridiculed by commentators.
  • National Anthem: out. Jeremiah Wright: in.
  • Sensitivity training requires that "stolen" bases now be called "alternatively-acquired".
  • Only fans in odd-numbered seats may stretch in the 7th inning. Fans in even-numbered seats must wait until the 8th.
  • Fidel is finally drafted!
  • Women allowed in both mens' and womens' restrooms. Men allowed to relieve themselves outside the stadium, after getting the necessary permits from the EPA.
  • Strike zone expanded by 75 feet to the left.
  • The next four World Series will be between the Cubs and White Sox. Each of these games will end in a tie.
  • Rainchecks: out. Universal Ticket Coverage: in.
Can you think of any more?
