God bless America, and how’s everybody?

The Obama administra­tion paid a PR firm $1 million to lobby Hollywood TV shows to feature ObamaCare in their scripts. Hollywood is spooked about it. Andy Griffith did a TV commercial for ObamaCare, and he’ll never work in show business again.

President Obama went on David Letterman’s show Tuesday followed by a fundraiser at rap star Jay-Z’s nightclub in New York. He loves the celebrity life. Next week, he’s going to a chateau in France to sunbathe topless and get some free publicity in the French press.

Mitt Romney was taped last May saying that 47

percent of people pay no income taxes and feel entitled to free stuff. He breached a self-esteem protocol. This all began when Lyndon Johnson signed a law requiring that everybody in Little League gets a trophy.

Arnold Schwarzene­gger wrote a book about his affair with his maid. The man has to be nuts. Mel Gibson’s $300 million divorce settlement just set a new world record, prompting Maria Shriver to say that records were meant to be broken.

LA activists seeking to re-open medical pot stores turned in 130,000 signatures to get the measure on the ballot in March. The county wants to verify all the signatures. There can’t be that many Cheechs and Chongs in Los Angeles.
