Bob from The Minority Report is the sharp-eyed reader who noticed that my new employer, Asylum, appears to be giving Governor Mark Sanford some useful advice. The Trojan ad is a hilarious juxtaposition, but purely a coincidence. Still, it makes you want to go back and scour Larry Craig stories for Charmin ads, doesn’t it?
White House: Iran Can’t Come to Our Barbecue
