I guess I forgot to mention. The son, Andrew Mizsak, is 28. And a political consultant and a school board member. And here's what I'm guessing is his biography - it's the right age and the right town and the right job and Mizsak isn't exactly Smith, and both the senior and junior are named Andrew.
Did I mention that Andrew Mizsak lives in his parents' basement?
And did I mention that Mommy and Daddy are both judges? At least, I think that's what it means when your name is preceded by Honorable.
Oh, and did I mention this little child who's less capable of controlling his temper than the average six year old is a "Member of the Ohio Campus Security Task Force following the shootings at Virginia Tech"? And very active in his state political party?
Daddy doesn't want to ruin Andrew Mizsak's political career with this. Daddy is doing a good job of teaching his son that little Andy never ever has to take responsibility for his own actions - instead he can have hysterical fits because he doesn't want to clean his room and he doesn't want Daddy to tell him what to do. I fully expect Andrew Mizsak to be rolling around on the floor, kicking his feet and pounding his fists on the ground and if that doesn't work, holding his breath until his face turns blue.
Go get a real job, Andy. Your temperament doesn't lend itself to a career leading others.

"Our entire Philosophy department is sitting in front of the Bijou now," said one college president. "And they're not even first in line, because most of the Women's Studies majors were already all there. The only students and teachers who show up any more are the so-called 'hard sciences', like Math or Physics. And I hardly think that the purpose of college is to teach people things like that."
The film is the first of two which will focus on the First Lady, with the second, Left Arm, set to open on July 4th weekend. They were directed by Yoko Ono and narrated by James Earl Jones, and will spend three hours and forty minutes "traversing the perfect space between Michelle's right shoulder and the tip of her right middle finger, which have been called the most perfect right arm in the history of humanity."
"It really is a unique journey," said Ono in an interview. "What's it like, to see this arm up close, through a variety of different lenses? What are its peaks, its valleys, its highs, its lows? I think that it's a very affirming film. It's the story of humanity, really, distilled in one perfect arm. But I'm urging people to watch the director's cut, which is two hours longer and includes outtakes narrated by Tom Hanks and a special 'the making of' feature."
The soundtrack also includes previously-undiscovered tracks by John Lennon, but has been embroiled in controversy following a lawsuit by Paul McCarthy because he needs money to pay off his angry ex-wife.
Some journalists were concerned, though, with one noting that "almost four hours may not be enough time to properly appreciate the perfection that is Michelle's right arm. It would be better if we replicated them in marble and put them on the Venus de Milo, where they could be appreciated by art patrons for the rest of time."

But I can offer you this: mad wordsmithing skillz. Case in point? Here are ways that the GOP could describe how bad the budget is:
"Barrackruptcy is like normal bankruptcy, only you spend trillions and trillions in one last ditch effort to kill the economy in order to save it."
"Obanomics: The perfect fusion of fiscal and public health policies, which forces citizens to exercise by bending over and getting screwed by the government again and again."
"Unless you're a member of a parasitic union or the child of a prominent member of congress, it's likely that you will soon pay a massive amount of taxes to subsidize the lavish lifestyle of do-nothings who will drive your cost of living ever higher. It'll be like the 70's without the rabbit attacks."
"You know why the communists have been so quiet lately? They're busy taking notes from our President on how you really redistribute wealth."
"While we appreciate the President's desire to scrimp and save by using second-rate comediennes at his White House galas, perhaps he should concentrate on cutting a bit more out of the largest budget ever proposed by any government in the history of the world."
"Don't worry: according to Obama's friend Hugo Chavez, all Americans will officially be humans by the end of 2010."

1) Wouldn't it make more sense to have the word Celebrity in quotes in 'Apprentice' Celebrity Edition? I mean, like Apprentice 'Celebrity' Edition.
2) Doesn't it seem strange that Wanda Sykes was the headliner at the Correspondent's Dinner? What, Kathy Griffin was booked?
3) Isn't Dragonball Z best left as a cartoon? How, exactly, can the show be enriched by making a poor movie of it?
4) Aren't we well past time for a TV show where a small group of humans fends of zombies in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, eating nothing but bacon and wearing nothing but tight T-shirts?
5) Wouldn't David Hasselhoff be perfect for the lead in said TV show?
6) I don't know what the letters really stand for, but when somebody told me MSNBC stood for "Milks Some Nuts for Barack's Cream" I nodded.
7) Doesn't synergy demand Tea Party T-Shirts?
8 ) Will I get seventy comments if I say I agreed with Patterico in the infamous Patterico-PW feud?
9) Is everyone else amused by the horrified Boston fans, who apparently believed that all the other teams juiced, but their victories were "pure." Yeah, that explains the sudden tailoff of players after they left Boston. Just keep telling yourself that.
10) Okay, if #8 doesn't work, how about if I say I agreed with Goldstein. Will that work?

My favorite:

And in another example of Actions Have Consequences...

A study by the White House Counsel on Psychiatric Health and Well-Being has revealed what many feared: the Obama presidency has caused a massive upsurge in depression among Washington residents, with the number of people seeking treatment for clinical depression more than quadrupling since President Obama took office.
"You have to understand something about your average Washington Beltway insider," said mental health expert Christopher Buckley "they live a life of wretched self-loathing. When a paragon of virtue like Barack Obama enters their lives, it's like shining a light on a cockroach: it brings nothing but agony. Seeing such a perfect specimen makes them realize their own hollowness. It's pathetic, really."
Experts said that the problem was especially grave among Republicans, who are either abandoning the party or simply giving up on their past pursuits, like torturing prisoners or stealing from the poor to give to the rich. "They've realized we don't need a two-party system," said one Congressional staffer. "since one party is headed up by the ultimate in human evolution."
In the true spirit of politics and the NFL, though, more and more Washington residents are joining Be Like Barack clubs, which give seminars on how to emulate the popular president. In fact, the New York Times has recently announced it is changing its format, from having a Lifestyle section to have a BLB Encounter page dedicated to following the popular groups.
Not everyone is so sanguine about Obama's perfection, though, with some wondering its long-term impacts on Washington mental health. "My main concern," said one White House pool reporter "is that we only have three years, seven months, and seven days guaranteed for us to observe this model of latter-day perfection. Is it enough? Or should we begin amending the constitution now to appoint him our King for perpetuity?"

Despite outward appearances of calm and detachment, sources close to the First Couple reveal that the first 100+ days of presidency have brought unimaginable stress to Barack and Michelle Obama. What is different than past presidencies, though, is their response to this stress. Instead of crumbling, their marriage has grown ever stronger, as if blessed by Nietzsche himself.
"Responses to White House stress have ranged from alcoholism to lawbreaking to suicide," said presidential historian Andrew Sullivan. "But this time around we're seeing a change that makes us hope we're finally past the era of mentally unstable presidents. This time, we're being inspired by a couple who are not just better partners because of this stress. They're better parents. Better people."
Insiders close to the Obamas agreed. One longtime aide said that said that "from time to time in the past they might have a reasoned, calm disagreement over something trivial, like where to vacation or how many pairs of six-hundred-dollar shoes they really needed. But now those disagreements have vanished as they focus on more important things, like the best way to carve up GM between the UAW and ACORN."
"And I've never seen them closer, happier, or more inspiring to those around them," another staffer said. "I only wish that I could find a sliver of their happiness in my drab, meaningless, everyday life."
Many are hoping that the Obamas don't keep their relationship skills a secret, and are encouraging them to share. Talk show host Larry King has offered Michelle an open microphone any time she wants it. "She's like the wisdom of Dr. Joyce Brothers meets the sexiness of Dr. Ruth Westheimer. I think more people would listen to Michelle Obama talk relationships than listen to Rush Limbaugh and Oprah Winfrey combined."
Not everyone is so sanguine about the Obama's relationship, though, with some wondering how long it can last. "My main concern," said one White House pool reporter "is that we only have three years, seven months, and eight days guaranteed for us to observe this model of latter-day marital perfection. Is it enough? Or should we begin amending the constitution now to appoint them our King and Queen for perpetuity?"

Barack Obama is so awesome that…
1 He doesn't molycoddle New Yorkers; instead, he scares them straight, just like juvenile delinquents
2 The PBA changed their rules: now the lowest score wins
3 He wears his sunglasses at night
4 Treasury Department? He don't need no stinkin' Treasury Department
5 The cynical hearts of teenagers sing with joy unfurled at his coming to hand them mountains of debt they can never hope to repay
6 Nine out of 10 reporters agree: he tastes great and he's less filling
7 He blows off allies, prostrates himself to kings, and sucks up to dictators in the name of "smart diplomacy"
8 And he looks damn good doing it, too
9 His dog's not only from Portugal, but it's from underwater, too
10 Turkey's not just for Thanksgiving, but for the EU, too
11 When he fights the law, he wins
12 When his wife twisted off the Queen of England's head like a beer cap, he reattached it with nothing more than the sweat of his brow
13 You can see his awesomeness from space
14 He fires CEOs like other presidents change socks
15 He can hold two contradictory opinions and still be the model of consistency
16 White House maids report that the Presidential Toilet smells like roses and honey even when he forgets to flush
17 He encourages hate-mongers to moderate themselves via his silent presence, like he did at the Summit of the Americas. Or in his church.
18 His Teleprompter has a blog that's more popular than this one
19 North Korea launched a satellite to confirm #13
20 Iran did, too
21 Even gravity's not a constant when he smiles at it
22 When he gets a haircut, his awesomeness actually diminishes by 0.0027%
23 Yes, that's right: even his trimmed hairs are more awesome than you are
24 That's why he needs his barber flown in from Illinois. Lesser barbers might trim his awesomeness by even more than that
25 He is the walrus
