Kim’s enormous oiled posterior became an Internet sensation after the photo was released yesterday. It elicited mixed reactions of oohs and ahs as well as eews from netizens the world over.

OBAMA TO APPOINT A FUKUSHIMA RADIATION CZAR

Leave a comment

imageWashington, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles) – The Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant experienced a meltdown following the earthquake that hit Japan in March 2011, dumping cesium-134 into the Pacific Ocean and causing Armageddon-type concerns about what would happen when the radiation made its way over to North America.

That day has finally come, according to scientists at the Massachusetts-based Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI). Traces of the radiation have been detected 160 km (100 miles) off the coast of Northern California.

Upon being informed of the news, President Barack Obama immediately appointed a Fukushima Radiation Czar to coordinate efforts on dealing with the devastating effects of this impending disaster.  Obama will announce the appointment at ceremonies  to be held at the South Lawn of the White House on Monday.

Many will recall that three months ago, when Ebola threatened to create a pandemic in the U.S., Obama immediately appointed an Ebola Czar, Ron Klain. Today, thanks to the Ebola Czar, the U.S. has been declared ‘Ebola-free.’

Obama is confident that the appointment of a Fukishima Radiation Czar will protect Americans from the devastating effects of radiation.

Many are speculating that Obama will appoint former Transportation Secretary Norm Yoshio Mineta to this important post, having both the California and Japan connection.
