The Election Comes to Ben's Chili Bowl
Not to be left out, Washington institution Ben's Chili Bowl has gotten into the election spirit. Last night, a sign on the front door read "PLEASE VOTE," and inside the sign behind the counter that used to read "Who eats free at Ben's: Bill Cosby / No one else" now reads "Bill Cosby / The Obama Family." Is the Ali family calling the election early? Do you suppose Michelle would let little Sasha and Malia partake of a free half-smoke?

I see that "Orange Juice" was also added, way down at the bottom. Too bad O.J. will probably never get another chance to enjoy a half smoke.

News flash: free iced tea at Teaism with an "I Voted" sticker.

I don't know if chili half smokes are FDA approved for children under 12.

The job of Commander-in-Chief is tough enough. How's he supposed to handle the economy, a multi-front war, and violet, explosive diarrhea?

I think violet diarrhea would be a sign of blood...might want to get that checked, Monkey.

Not only does the man fart rainbows, but he has florid feces. Truly, a candidate of destiny.

A little cholera never hurt anyone. Just ask Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

Michelle certainly shouldn't take her kids there unless she wants them to get sick.
and... BCB food would only be vaguely worthwhile if it was free. That place is dirty and a rip off.

A bit awkward that they waited for the white grandmother to pass on before they put the sign up. Most of all, our elderly need fiber; this need knows no race, gender or creed.

As a secret muslim, wouldn't Obama pass on the halfsmokes anyway? I mean, pigs eat, sleep, and root in $h!t. He ain't eatin nothing that ain't got the sense to disregard his own feces. He don't eat hotdogs neither. Now, I wouldn't go so far as to call Bens hotdogs filthy, but it definitely dirty. Anyway, hotdogs got personality. Personality goes a long way.

Cosby is going to be the new Secretary of Buck Buck.
