“According to sources in the White House, President Barack Obama has been uncharacteristically distant and withdrawn ever since last month’s two-hour series finale of Battlestar Galactica.

“‘The president seems to be someplace else lately,’ said one high-level official, speaking on condition of anonymity. ‘Yesterday we were all being briefed on the encroachment of Iranian drone planes into Iraq, when he just looked up from the table and blurted out, “What am I supposed to watch on Fridays at 10 p.m. now? Numb3rs?”‘”

It’s from The Onion. Therefore it’s not real. (And neither was yesterday’s April Fool post about Quantum & Woody – but you probably knew that by now.)
