June 2, 2012 -- A spokeswoman for Gov. Jerry Brown confirmed Thursday that rock singer Linda Ronstadt has visited the governor several times in Sacramento in the last six weeks.
Ronstadt, 65, has been sighted by reporters three times near the Capitol since May 1, most recently wearing a halter top, hoop earrings and cut-off denim shorts. Brown himself has been photographed wearing bell-bottom pants and platform shoes, while sporting a new mustache.
Brown spokeswoman Brenda Dooley warned reporters not to read too much into Ronstadt's visits. "Don't be buggin' out," she said. "The guv has always felt that Linda was a real righteous chick and just wanted to chill with her a while. Everything's copacetic."
Fifteen minutes into her remarks, Dooley took off her mirrored sunglasses and Angela Davis wig and said, "Look, we didn't anticipate things would be this awful in Sacramento. The governor -- and, frankly, the whole Democratic Party -- is feeling just a bit nostalgic for when things were just merely bad and not apocalyptic."
Brown was not available for comment. He was at a campaign stop with presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Jimmy Carter.
Your favorite daily newspaper not only can give you the news of today, we've figured out a way patent pending to deliver the news of the future:
Feb. 8, 2012 -- A group of Republican Party leaders held a press conference Tuesday, announcing that U.S. debt has now been officially retired and the federal budget has been balanced, all without touching defense spending, Social Security or tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans.
House Speaker John Boehner made the announcement sitting astride an enormous lavender-colored unicorn, while leprechauns and wood nymphs danced around him. Senate leader Mitch McConnell was escorted to the podium sitting atop pillows carried by angels.
The press conference was broadcast on a live feed from GOP headquarters in Candyland.
Boehner said that voters' decision to turn to the Republicans in the 2010 elections has now been vindicated. "We knew," he said, "that once we eliminated the National Endowment for the Arts and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting that everything else would fall into place, and America would be restored to glory."
McConnell said that the Republican decision to keep President Obama locked in the White House basement without his Blackberry for the past 10 months was crucial in meeting the party's agenda. He also said that the GOP's conviction to stick to its principles was the catalyst for several unanticipated turning points of the last year including 30 million gay Americans waking
up one day to learn that they had been denying their innate heterosexuality, millions of Latinos peacefully forming caravans of buses to return to Latin America and California slipping into the ocean.

May 29, 2015 -- Former presidential candidate Sarah Palin declared herself "back in the game" Tuesday in the wake of a highly publicized made-for-TV spectacle that set a new record for a pay-per-view event.
Palin spoke at a rally of more than 10,000 supporters outside the Circus Circus casino in Las Vegas, a day after the broadcast of "Mama Grizzly Smackdown," which featured Palin and members of her family in an hourlong wrestling match against the Kardashian sisters.
Palin, using the stage name the "Killa from Wasilla," was unanimously declared the winner of the match, after her husband Todd, dressed in a bear costume, joined her in the ring and tossed two Kardashians into the celebrity-studded crowd.
"I think we showed the lamestream media how we Palins can get up off the mat," said Palin who, as the Republican nominee for president in 2012, lost 47 states to President Obama who refused even to campaign. Since then, said her agent and daughter Bristol Palin, the former governor of Alaska has been looking for "a new platform from which to relaunch her brand and professional wrestling scores big with our key demographics."
In her remarks at the rally, Sarah Palin could not resist taking a shot at Obama. "How's that classy dignity working out for you?" she said sarcastically to the cheering crowd.
The Kardashian sisters were inexplicably popular tabloid celebrities in the last decade, but largely disappeared from the public spotlight after TMZ in 2011 suggested that they were secretly Muslim.
Jan. 16, 2017 -- President Obama today expressed frustration that his farewell address Sunday night after eight years in the White House was aired nationally only on C-SPAN2 and the History Channel.
"What are you going to do?" shrugged the outgoing president hosting a White House visit from president-elect Chelsea Clinton. "You'd think we could have at least made it to basic cable."
Ever since 2013, when CBS declared bankruptcy and media mogul Rupert Murdoch purchased NBC and ABC, Obama -- despite administration claims that he has averted six national catastrophes, including the Great Depression twice -- has had to depend mostly on the White House website and YouTube to address the public.
Overnight ratings indicate that the president's address was seen by 38 people, most of those in the recreation lounge of a suburban Cleveland senior center, which had misplaced its remote earlier that afternoon.
Fox News spokesman James O'Keefe blasted the president's claim that the Fox empire had ignored the president's address. "Hey, get off our backs, we aired the thing," he said. The Nielsens TV ratings service today said that Fox's broadcast of the speech was not counted in the final ratings numbers since the network aired only the Arabic translation of the address and superimposed a Muslim head-scarf on the president's head.
