Last week it was thought that Cutris was living with otters. Now it seems he has been sighted once again--this time living under a fallen tree. Has Cutris abandoned the human race? When asked by reporters, Cutris simply growled and scampered away.

Unconfirmed sources have indicated that Cutris may be living in Northern Minnesota with a family of River Otters. Apparently Cutris was seen frolicking in a stream in an undisclosed location--but disappeared underwater before he could be photographed. If this is true, it will be the fifth time this year that Cutris has been seen living with wild animals. One can only speculate as to why Cutris is living with otters (if indeed he is). Perhaps he needed a vacation, or is friends with the otter family. Maybe it is simply a publicity stunt before he officially announces his candidacy for U.S. President.

In another link in his string of scandals, this picture of Cutris emerged today. Will the former independent presidential candidate run again? Or is his record of civil disobedience too long? Or is the country ready for a president who is not more of the same?

Wall Street Bastardos Story

In the city of Cutris in the land of Cutris, there was a place called, The Castle of Cutris. The castle was very beautiful, and the King of Cutris Land lived there. One day after the greedy Bastardos of Wall Street ruined the economy, the government bailed out their debts and then the Wall Streeters stuck-it-to the people of the land of Cutris—including the King. Thus, the castle’s mortgage was now upside-down—and King Cutris owed more than the castle was worth (which had been $32 bazillion previously, and was now 89 cents).

Then one day King Cutris received an email from Mafutoo Bam Ba Lam of Nigeria. The email said that Mr. Bam Ba Lam had $76 Trillion that he could share with his good friend King Cutris, with whom he had never met. The poorly written email asked that Cutris not tell anyone about this wonderful deal—and to hurry and send his full name, address, phone number, Social Security number, bank account number and underwear size—so that Dr. Bam Ba Lam (yes, Mr. Bam Ba Lam had become a Dr. since the beginning of the email) could get the money out of his country and then split it with King Cutris.

King Cutris thought hard about this wonderful proposition! Then, he replied to Mr. Dr. Mafutoo Bam Ba Lam to go and put dynamite in his shorts and light the fuse. Then the King of the land of Cutris went to work to earn money to pay for his mortgage to the Wall Street Bastardos who made money by mismanaging funds and were then bailed out by the government.

Will the Vikings Play Ponder?

The question is, will the 0-4 Minnesota Vikings play rookie quarterback Christian Ponder, or will they continue to rely on the ready-to-retire-quarterback "strategy" for yet another game? Is a losing season going to get them a new stadium? It might have if they decided to go with Ponder and Webb this year and call it a "building" season.
