No, Obama Didn’t Show Up at Zeitgeist

It turns out Obama and his gang of tech moguls (and big Democratic campaign donors) dined in a private home in Woodside last night, not at a restaurant as we’d hoped. But that did not stop a prankster on Twitter from posting an old photo of Obama in a North Carolina bar with a beer, asking “Is this Obama at Zeitgeist?” and setting off a twitstorm of fake sightings. Why, we ask you, would this ever make sense to anyone? In other news, Steve Jobs sat next to the President and toasted with water, even though the National Enquirer claims he only has six weeks to live.
