On Oct. 22, 2019, the ObamaWatcher website published an article positing that former first lady Michelle Obamas mother passed away and left an inheritance to her son Michael:

Michelle Obamas Mother Dies, Leaves Inheritance to My Son Michael

Michelle Obamas mother, Mary McGillicuddy Robinson, has died at the age of 84. She went peacefully in her sleep before being mostly devoured by her Lhasa Apso, and Chicago police have ruled out any foul play. The real story, however, is how she worded her Last Will and Testament. According to Illinois Comptroller and Keeper of the Public Record, Art Tubolls, Michelle doesnt legally exist:

Mrs. Robinsons will clearly states that her possessions should all go to my son, Michael Robinson Obama. In Illinois, a person cant legally change their gender, so she had to use his real name or she wouldnt have gotten anything.

This item was not a factual recounting of real-life events. The article originated with a website that describes its output as being humorous or satirical in nature. In addition, the article exploits an unfounded fringe conspiracy theory about the former first ladys gender identity.

For background, here is why we sometimes write about satire/humor.

Hes got jokes.

Barack Obama kept his take on the Inflation Reduction Act short and sweet in a tweet on Tuesday.

This is a BFD, he said in response to President Bidens explanation of the law online.

Obamas tweet was a reference to Bidens own comments in 2010. While introducing then-President Obama after the Affordable Care Act passed, Biden whispered in Obamas ear: This is a big f---ing deal.

Bidens comments were caught by the microphones, and the two have played the ensuing controversy for jokes in the past 12 years. In April, Biden warned Obama about a hot mic at a White House event.

On Tuesday night, Biden replied to the 44th presidents tweet, with, Thanks, Obama.

The Inflation Reduction Act is designed to lower out-of-pocket Medicare costs and spend more than $350 million to combat climate change, among many other things.

But the jokes are priceless.

Despite always fancying itself as something of an outsider genre, metal connections within mainstream politics are surprisingly more commonplace than you might imagine. George W. Bush once famously shouted out Ozzy Osbourne when the Prince Of Darkness attended the White House Correspondents Dinner in 2002. Donald Trump is seemingly BFFs with Kid Rock (we can only imagine the wholesome and thoughtfully delivered conversations they must have).

Surely the most unlikely presidential/heavy metal crossover ever, though, happened in 2015, when then-serving US Pres Barack Obama was speaking at a Medal of Honor Ceremony taking place at the White House. The recipient of the medal was retiring French-American army captain Florent Groberg, who was being awarded following his actions tackling a suicide bomber while in Afghanistan in 2012. While recovering in hospital in Germany some days after his heroics, Groberg - a metal fan - awoke to find none other than Korn frontman Jonathan Davis sitting by his bedside. In his tired and confused state, Groberg initially thought he was hallucinating, only to eventually realise that Davis had indeed flown over to see him.

Referencing the moment at the ceremony, Obama stated: [Groberg] woke up on a hospital bed, in a little bit of a haze. He wasnt sure, but he thought he was in Germany, and someone was at his bedside talking to him. And he thought it was the lead singer from the heavy metal band Korn. Flo thought, Whats going on? Am I hallucinating? But he wasnt, it was all real.

Obama then went on to crack a joke, confirming that while Davis really did visit Groberg in hospital, it was not the Korn singer stood in front of him right now.

And so today, Flo, I want to assure you, you are not hallucinating, Obama added. You are actually in the White House. Those cameras are on. I am not the lead singer from Korn. We are here to award you our nations highest military honour distinction, The Medal of Honor.

I was asleep and then around six or seven in the morning, my phone starts going off, Davis told Rolling Stone later that year. I look over and someone had just texted me, The president just said your name during this Medal of Honor ceremony. Im just like whatever and went back to sleep, but [my phone] kept going.

Davis added that he was shocked and taken back by the reference - just like pretty much every single nu metal fan who happened to catch the speech that day.

Latest Korn album Requiem is out now. Watch the unlikely Obama/Korn call-out below.
