Romney Software Upgrade Nears Release Date

Romney Software Upgrade Nears Release Date
One of the Romney prototypes discusses the upgrade with the lead developer at Romney's Boston headquarters.

BOSTON (CAP) - Sources inside the Mitt Romney software development team confirmed today that the animatronic presidential candidate is about to receive a major software upgrade.

"We've finally licked the hardware issues and Mitt's movements and facial expressions are now almost human," stated one of the developers. "Also, the new gyro helped stop him from veering to the far right all the time. But the software bugs have been a nightmare."

Industry experts agreed, noting that "the Romneytronic software hasn't been delivering the goods," according to Dale Friesner, a senior technology editor at cnet.com.

"The inside story is that they outsourced most of the development work on the previous release to China at Mitt's request because he refused to pay U.S. rates for the work," Friesner said. "Unfortunately, these Chinese software developers have a very limited knowledge of American society.

"For example, apparently they believe that Russia is our greatest threat and that almost half of Americans - about 47% - are lazy freeloaders while the other half are all job creators," he noted.

Romney campaign manager Matt Rhoades confirmed Freisner's concerns, telling CAP News the entire situation was just a software glitch and that "Mitt has often remarked about what a wonderful, hard-working population we have here in the U.S because he admires his maid Consuela so much."

"And he knows that the international terrorist threat is our biggest national security concern because he used to watch 24," Rhoades pointed out. "But those software bugs were distorting his message and really messing up his head. It's why he couldn't make up his mind about his positions and looked like a deer in the bright headlights of a runaway tractor-trailer whenever he was put under pressure.

"This upgrade will help him change course and steer his way right into the White House," Rhoades added.

NBC News political director Chuck Todd said he believes Romney will try to steer that course right down the middle of the road. "This upgrade seems to coincide with a moment in his troubled campaign when Romney desperately needs to recast himself as a moderate centrist rather than a far-right ideologue," he said.

The Obama camp is taking a wait and see attitude about the Romney software upgrade. "We're not concerned," said one senior advisor. "Windows 98 was supposed to be an upgrade, too. And just like that 20th-century software disaster, we strongly suspect that Mitt Romney is going to freeze and crash again very soon."

Obama Pushes For "Taco Tuesdays" During Day Trips

AUSTIN, Tex. (CAP) - As President Obama marked the first stop on his Middle Class Jobs & Opportunity Tour with rhetoric about boosting jobs and opportunities, he waited until the cameras stopped rolling to get down to brass tacks with the residents who had gathered to hear him speak.

"Listen, you told me you needed help getting jobs, I told you to wear slacks," Obama said. "You told me it was raining out, I got you ponchos.

"Now you're worried about everything you've worked for all falling apart, so I have a simple solution," he added. "Taco Tuesdays."

WASHINGTON (CAP) - President Obama has announced his support of the Pentagon's latest plan to provide a missile defense system for the United States, even though it does not include lasers, invisible jets, or invisible jets with lasers.

The Strategic Dome Initiative offers $1 billion in funding to erect a translucent, impenetrable dome over the continental United States that would not only deflect missiles launched from anywhere in the world, but also meteors falling from the sky and other as yet unidentified apocalyptic events.

"I prefer to think of it as more of a, uhh, force field than a dome," Obama told reporters. "Think Star Wars, not New Orleans Saints."

President Obama has announced that Hispanics will be the next ethnic group unfairly targeted with racial profiling by federal law enforcement agencies. "We've done a pretty good number on Muslims over the past decade," Obama said. "I think it's time America took on a new challenge and broadened our horizons." «» The FBI has intercepted a chain letter sent to President Obama promising money in the mail if he adds his name to the list and sends it to five friends. "We're still investigating the source," said an agent. "But the fourth name is Joe Biden, so we have an idea." «» With the White House under fire from numerous directions, press secretary Jay Carney dropped his usual demeanor to tell reporters to "fucking back the fuck off" and that he was "sick of answering dumb-ass questions." He then threatened to have the IRS "personally audit every single one of you fucks." «» The FBI is investigating who wiretapped Sen. Mitch McConnell's office, tapes of which show him slandering one-time opponent Ashley Judd. "I have a right to be devious and unethical in a private setting," he said. "I'm sure I'll say plenty of stupid things publicly during this campaign, just be patient." «» President Obama may spend the foreseeable future sleeping in the Oval Office after returning five percent of his salary in solidarity with furloughed federal workers. Sources say that portion was budgeted for Michelle's clothing allowance and "I'll be damned if I go the next six months dressing like Hillary Clinton." «» The NSA says U.S. currency is more difficult to counterfeit than ever before thanks to Treasury Secretary Jack Lew's inimitable new signature. "The risk of counterfeiting by kindergarteners dropped dramatically when he stopped scribbling doodled circles for his name," said one official. "America is safe in the arms of illiteracy." «» In the wake of stellar ratings for this year's NHL playoffs, Commissioner Gary Bettman has announced plans to kick off next season with another lockout. "We clearly created some sort of artificial demand last time," said Bettman. "So let's do it again. But next year, I'm thinking Finals in July!" «» Kanye West has canceled the release of his new album and pulled all existing copies in the wake of the birth of his daughter. "Oh my God, have you heard those lyrics I wrote?" he said. "I'm a dad now. I can't be all rapping about breasts 'n shit anymore." «» With the recent flight of its fifth manned space mission, China is poised to become the first nation to successfully launch a fully operational orbiting forced labor camp. Astronauts on board the country's space station module will spend two years testing the effects of weightlessness on human rights abuses. «» New data released from the leaked NSA telephone surveillance tapes reveals that Americans are ordering out for pizza at an alarming rate yet not calling their mothers nearly as much as they should. However, hour-long conversations with fathers explaining how to open a Word document remain at an all-time high. «»
