when I arose this afternoon and was told by John P. McCann* that Obama had finally announced his VP pick: Frodo Baggins.

"That's perfect," I exclaimed. "Baggins really balances out his lack of experience, and nearly overshadows McCain's record of war heroism. It's freakin' brilliant."

I was also happy that Frodo comes from an agricultural area (the "flyover country" of Middle Earth, really).

Alas, it was a cruel joke. According to Taranto, there are a lot of these "fake VP reports" going around. (No permalinks in "The Best of the Web"--scroll down to "Biden His Time"). Though why anyone believed Obama had picked Mickey Mouse is beyond me . . . that's just silly.

* He really did say that, though it was yesterday, and it just made me giggle.
