Best jokes so far about Art O’DeDeal pissing in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool:
“It looks like they’re brewing Yodas in there.” — David Roth, Defector
“Some poor unsuspecting person is going to trip and fall into that stuff and become a @Marvel supervillain.” — a commenter unearthed by Tom Sullivan at Digby’s place.
Actually, it’s too late for that: Marvel Comics already has the Green Goblin, one of Spider-Man’s earliest adversaries. Dude experimented on himself with an unstable chemical and developed an alternate, evil personality that became the president of the United States — twice.
OK, so I made that last part up. But it would explain a lot.

I suppose it will be quite humorous in the future when one of the next administrations refuses to sign off on an FAA flight certificate for one big giant gift from Qatar. “Sorry Mr. Ex-President but what you have there is a fine tax payer funded library, not a glorified limousine.
Ty-D-Bol. That’s something I hadn’t thought of in a while. But now I will forever think of it when contemplating the chicanery of our biggest loser president.
I’d forgotten it myself, and then suddenly, boom! There it was.
Odd what sticks in what remains of my mind. I can’t remember where I left my reading glasses (on top of my head) but I can dredge up memories like that.
