WASHINGTON - With a little over 72 weeks left in the 2016 presidential race, billionaire Donald Trump today joined the field of joke candidates intent on supplying titillation, bemusement and distraction for all.

"Today I announce my candidacy for the presidency of the United States of America," Trump said in front of an American flag.  "As in the past, I will run on a platform of self-interest blinded by ego and driven by delusions of grandeur.  Any questions?"

Porn star and Republican candidate Dick Steele echoed The Donald's announcement during his own hastily prepared press event.  "I, too will be seeking the nomination of the Republican party for the 2016 presidential race," said Steele.  "As a lifetime NRA member and libertarian, I will run on a platform of strong family values, personal integrity and the inalienable right of any well-endowed man to bang hot chicks for a living."

NEW YORK - In a stunning announcement, five prominent leaders of the National Organization of Women (NOW) resigned today after being outed as "male" by their families. NOW national president Laura Eden publicly supported the resignations.  "It is not a prerequisite to be female in order to support [NOW]," Eden explained.  "It is, however, a requirement to be truthful about your genitalia and how that genitalia is typically used, especially in leadership positions within our organization."

LONDON - During a charitable luncheon today, a startled Eric Clapton was confronted by numerous allegations that his song "Cocaine" advocated illegal drug use, namely using "cocaine."

Clapton, who was obviously confused and irritated by the confrontation led by a gaggle of young reporters, was slow to respond.  "It's not even my song," Clapton said eventually, at the Teenage Cancer Trust benefit luncheon.  "It's [J.J.] Cale's, I just did a bloody cover.  And it's not advocating drug use, mate, have you even listened to the song?"  When the reporters held up their iPods, Clapton only grew more irritated.  "Why did you buy the bloody song if you hate it so much then?"

"It's a great song," one of the reporters said sheepishly.

"Look this is a benefit for teenage cancer, can we please keep our eye on the ball?  That song is 30 years old," Clapton said.

"Thirty-eight years," corrected one of the reporters, holding up his cellphone.

At this point the entire luncheon crowd began chanting "cocaine," which inevitably goaded the artist to grab a nearby acoustic guitar and belt out an impromptu, unplugged version of the popular single.

Wall Street reacted negatively to the possibility that its drug of choice was back in the spotlight, bumping news focus off heroin, which had been taking almost all of the illegal drug heat for most of the past few years.
