Via 109:

At a press conference in Washington today, President Barack Obama repeatedly refused to answer questions about the size of his package.

"If I tell you the size of my package, some of you will think that it sounds too small, " he said. "And others will be uncomfortable with how big it is."

The President seemed to indicate, however, that the size of his package may vary according to the circumstances.

"Depending on what is going on, my package could grow significantly larger," he said. "It all comes down to the amount of stimulus."

Вдогонку к дискуссии о размере пакета дорогой ktotam подогнал очередное горе луковое:

According to witnesses, a loud black man approached a crowd of some 4,000 strangers in downtown Chicago Tuesday and made repeated demands for change.

<…>

"I've already seen this guy four times today," Chicago-area ad salesman Blake Gordon said. "Every time, it's the same exact spiel. 'I need change.' 'I want change.' Why's he so eager for all this change? What's he going to do with it, anyway?"

А мне сразу вспомнилась прекрасная открытка, полученная мной когда-то в NYC.
