The Center for American Progress reports:

Obama is famously low key. That's why on the hit Comedy Central show "Key & Peele", Keegan-Michael Key plays "Luther, President Obama's anger translator". The [annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner], however, is a rare place where the President can cut loose--as long as he uses humor.

In a hilarious admission that he has been too low key to convey the moral outrage justified by humanity's myopic march toward self-destruction--and by the brazen denial of climate science by many conservatives--Obama brought out "Luther" to express that outrage. And then, in an ingenious twist, Obama became so outraged that he didn't need Luther and in fact Luther himself couldn't take the genuinely angry Obama, who says of denial, "What kind of stupid, shortsighted, irresponsible, bull-"

Here's a video of the event.

    There was a story in the news recently that demonstrates what a mess this still is.
    One of the hosts of a morning network gabfest decided she wanted a kid though she couldn't conceive one of her own.
    The Sherri Shepherd Case: One More Reason to Ban Commercial Surrogacy [dissidentvoice.org]

    After the surrogate was well and truly pregnant, Shepherd decided she didn't want the kid.

    The article also mentions the cases where a surrogate delivers an infant with a birth defect.

    ...and, frankly, there's enough already-been-born children to fill any need for a household full of still-growing bodies.
    Comedian Paula Poundstone has such a household.
