Bob McCarty Writes

In  the video clip below, President Barack Obama is shown making several quips about Mel Brooks, 83, the Jewish actor-director-comedian honored during the 32nd Kennedy Center Honors last night. Two and a half minutes into the clip, the president describes how a fake ID helped him overcome being too young to gain admission to a theater showing Brooks’ 1974 comedy film, “Blazing Saddles.”  Fake ID?  Sounds like an Al-Qaeda tactic to me.
