Violent black radical Barack Hussein Obama X is learning about wind energy in Iowa, The Washington Post reports in a most unfortunate photo caption error.





It appears Obama and Malcolm X were actually slated for separate stories. The error has since been repaired. Here is what they meant to do:

The pastor entered his donkey in a race and it won.
The pastor was so pleased with the donkey
That he entered it in the Race
Again, and it won again.

The local paper read:

PASTOR'S
ASS OUT FRONT.


The Bishop was so upset with this kind of
Publicity that he ordered
The Pastor not to enter the donkey in another race.

The next day, the local paper headline
Read:

BISHOP
SCRATCHES
PASTOR'S
ASS.


This was too much for the bishop, so he
Ordered the pastor to get Rid Of the donkey.

The pastor decided to give it to a nun in a
Nearby convent. The local paper, hearing of the news, posted
The following headline The Next day:

NUN HAS BEST ASS IN TOWN.

The bishop fainted.
He informed the nun that she would have to
Get rid of the donkey, so She
Sold it to a farmer for $10.
The next day the paper read:

NUN
SELLS ASS FOR $10.


This was too much for the bishop, so he
Ordered the nun to buy back The
Donkey and lead it to the plains where it could run
Wild. The next day the headlines read:

NUN ANNOUNCES HER ASS IS WILD AND FREE.

The bishop was buried the next day.

The moral of the story is .. . . Being
Concerned about public opinion Can
Bring you much grief and misery . . Even shorten your
Life.
So be yourself and enjoy life.
Stop worrying about everyone else's ass and
You'll be a lot happier And
Live longer!
