GOVERNOR BROWN ORDERS WATER RESTRICTIONS IN CALIFORNIA BUT NOBODY BELIEVES HIM

Leave a comment

imageECHO LAKE, Calif. – California Gov. Jerry Brown ordered officials Wednesday to impose statewide mandatory water restrictions for the first time in history as surveyors found the lowest snow level in the Sierra Nevada snowpack in 65 years of record-keeping.

The problem is, no one in California believes him.

Brown chose the wrong day to issue the order : April Fools’ Day.

For many Californians, the news about Brown’s order was as believable as the news of  Mike Pence resigning as governor of Indiana today.

Perhaps Brown’s communications manager needs to be written up.

The 2015 Audi A8 Platinum edition

INGOLSTADT, Germany (The Adobo Chronicles) – Audi, the German automobile manufacturer that is well known for innovative luxury cars, has just unveiled a limited edition of its 2015 A8 model.

The Platinum edition has all the features of the A8 model, but it comes with a special built-in rice cooker in the rear seat console that would enable car owners to prepare the staple to be ready in time when they get home for dinner.

The special edition sedan will be available starting this summer but only in Japan and the Philippines, where rice consumption among the population is among the world’s highest.

This innovation is a very welcome news especially for the Philippines where heavy traffic is an everyday occurrence for the home commute.

The Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price (MRSP) is $77,400 for manual transmission.  The option for automatic transmission will cost extra.

BARACK OBAMA, HILLARY CLINTON REUNITED AT WHITE HOUSE MEETING

3 Comments

imageWASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles) – President Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton met privately at the White House for about an hour Monday afternoon.

The White House says the former rivals-turned-colleagues discussed “a range of issues” that included Clinton’s personal emails controversy.

The Adobo Chronicles can now confirm with certainty that 2016 was not among the issues discussed.

Our inside sources, however, confirmed that after the private meeting, Clinton was seen touring the various rooms at The White House, including the Lincoln Bedroom, the Oval Office and the State Banquet Hall with her private interior decorator.

In addition, she asked to be shown the White House room where the email server is located.

Finally, she was treated to a ‘taste test’ of sample menus from White House Executive Chef, Filipina American Cristeta Comerford.

You know, in the likely event that she and Bill will have a homecoming in 2017.
