President Obama got 12 stitches in his lip today after an errant elbow hit him during a basketball game. Who's the perp? Rey Decerega, director of programs for the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute.

Maybe he'll feel better when he learns his new children's book has made the Times best seller list.

    Medical personnel used a smaller filament to close the wound than is typically used, the press office said.

    That increases the number of stitches but makes a tighter stitch and results in a smaller scar.

    It was just a little reminder from the Bilderberg group (as though that's their real name).  W. had his 'biking' accident, Clinton got kneecapped, and GWB was... well, we all remember what happened to him.
