A new feature: Ask Dr. Politics! You ask the questions; we feed your delusions.

Dear Dr. Politics: I am reliably informed that following Barack Obama’s last news conference, a list was circulated in the White House of 21 things the staff was not allowed to say to the president. The mainstream media refuses to publish the list. You are our only hope, even though we have the utmost contempt for you.

Reply: Glad to oblige. Here are “The 21 Things You Cannot Say to the President after a News Conference”:

1. Hey, we hear the Golf Channel is going to carry it next time. Well, actually, only the Golf Channel is going to carry it next time.

2. Don’t worry. We’ll get ’em next year.

3. Professor Gates called. He can’t find his house keys.

4. You want to take a mulligan on this one?

5. We did try to plant a question about Bo, but nobody would go for it.
